Won't let me use 240Hz

[Elrond5]

I've tried setting up my new 240Hz monitor however Nvdia and Windows only seem to allow 120Hz

I just purchased https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/24-5-acer-fhd-240hz-1ms-freesync-gaming-monitor/27602852

 

My Graphics Card is GTX 650 Ti so I was wondering if this might not support 240Hz??????

Its a old card that will barely get you any framerate near 240hz. Also you need to use dp 1.3 or higher which your card doesnt have

You can't use 240hz with a 650 Ti because it needs DisplayPort 1.3 or higher.

Also, a 650 Ti absolutely isn't going to get 240hz in games, including Minecraft (at probably 12 chunks distance, which isn't much) and ROBLOX (and ROBLOX is capped at 60fps), unless you manage to turn the settings crazy down.

While you both are right about the card not being able to drive it. DisplayPort 1.2 DOES support 240Hz at 1080p

Just asking what DP do modern Graphics cards have? I was thinking of getting the GTX 1080 Ti or is there a better option?

For 240hz, something like a 1080 Ti would do well for 240hz at most games, however high-end games would probably have to be 144hz.

 

This, is assuming that you have a CPU that doesn't bottleneck it horribly

You also want a strong cpu. High refresh rate requires both cpu and gpu to get stable high fps
