HDMI 120Hz right ?

[ViBEE]

So I just connected my HDMI Cable to my monitor instead of DP, and I know that HDMI can do only 120Hz, but when I go in game(Overwatch) I have the option to choose up to 144hz ? Is that broken or Im stupid ?

it will render 144hz but it won't display 144hz since the hdmi can't support that refresh rate

I mean I can see its running at 144hz because there are those lines that are usually on some 144hz panel and when I switch to 120Hz I dont see them. But ok!

hdmi 2.0 may do 120hz........ BUT

My monitor has HDMI 1.4 but I cant really tell the difference in games between HDMI 120/144 and DP 120/144. He also mentioned that Im stuck at 60Hz in 2d mode which I think its windows(maybe not) but I can also tell the difference when changing from 60hz to 120hz from the Nvidia control panel  Im pretty confused tbh.

 

Im using HDMI atm because for some reason my monitor sometimes loses signal or gets pixelated when alt tabbing a bunch of times when in game

HDMI supports 144 Hz just fine.

HDMI can do 144hz at 1440p on HDMI 2.0. Anything below HDMI 2.0 144hz can only be obtained at 1080p.

for some reason that link doesn't work for me, I enter hdmi in both drop downs and clik any link and it reverts back to original page . I tried to look harder ,as suggested, and just ended up with a stony facial expression. Nice, just glad its all my fault, spread the ignorance boys.
