Make sure in the game you are playing that the resolution the game is set at isn't 60hz, for example in diablo 3 the resolution is 1920x1080x60 ... you gotta change it too 1920x1080x75 from the drop down. Also some games also have a setting to have the max framerate cap at 60 and you can change it to w/e you want.

Maybe Freesync is blocking it? All I have are conspiracy theories.

Sry posted at like the same time together HDMI 1.4b supports higher refresh rates at 1080p.

 

Like I said before make sure freesync is turned on on the monitor itself.

And it's set to 75hz under advanced settings in windows itself or it won't show up in games.

 

It worked for me but seeing I have 1 nvidea using PC I can't check if it always works.

It must be because of its HDMI only input, which sucks, those with Display Port can get to these high frequencies just fine using nVidia custom resolution once you use DP, my 29UM68-P for instance also was locked to 60hz on HDMI, changed it to DP and voila 80hz stable:

From what I've read in the past, you really do need to use FreeSync to get the 75 Hz, custom resolutions won't work. No idea why, but that's how it is. So I hear, anyway.

I figured it out, disabling Freesync allowed games to show 75hz as an option

V-sync should cap the FPS to the monitor's refresh rate, when I do it, it caps at 60fps, which means 60hz, and games show only 60hz as an option for refresh rate,

As far as I recall V-sync caps at 60fps period. If you PC can't output 60fps it drops down to 30fps (again from memory). It also brings input lag into the situation. I hated V-sync.

Try something like MSI Afterburner/Riva Tuner and set a cap limit, or do it in game to what you want.

 

I used to set it to 1fps more than my monitors refresh rate and had a blast with no issues.
