Actually... I seemed to have fixed it. I simply uninstalled the monitor from device manager and rebooted and now it works... which is weird because i did that several times before posting this to no avail :/

I clean installed windows yesterday, but i am having an issue getting my display (benq xl2720z) to correctly run at 144 hz. Previously, i went to nvidia control panel, set resolution, then the refresh rate dropdown would have an option for 144hz. It does not however. I then created a custom resolution, manually set the refresh rate to be 144hz, but the custom resolution doesnt apear to be saving. I am unable to select 144hz as an option from within games, so i assume that somehow the monitor isnt being recognized as 144hz. I manually installed the drivers from benqs website, and gpu drivers are up to date. Rest of my system specs are in my Sig. Thanks for any help!
