144hz not working

[MADMINK]

I have been having trouble with my monitor not displaying 144hz. Instead, I get a stuttering screen. Despite this, 120hz and 60 hz function fine.

 

 Based off my dxdiag, AMD told me:

 

In the report, the native resolution of the monitor is shown as 1920*1080 (60Hz) while the monitor specs show 144 Hz as the native mode. This could be causing the issue.

 

They told me to cleanly reinstall my drivers which fail to resolve my issue. I am using a Display Port cable that is Not faulty and my color depth is set to 6 bit.

Would a different monitor fix this or is the cause my computer?

 

Monitor AOC G2460PQU (generic pnp) connected via display port

GPU RX 480

CPU  i5 6th gen

Windows 10 latest build

AMD driver 

Adrenalin 2019 Edition 18.12.3 Optional

Well looks like this monitor does not support free sync what results you get when u set it to 120 hz with v-sync on if you can achieve this frame rate if not set it a bit lower.

I'm fairly certain your PC is on the weak side for 144Hz, hence why the lower refresh rates work but 144 causes stuttering

I used vsync with 144hz and I had a solid 144 fps, but the screen skips and stutters. 120hz looks smooth, but nothe as smooth as 144hz in a store.

Because what you see in a store has a more powerful GPU and CPU combined with a g-sync or free sync panel. Because 144 Hz is the max, but your monitor cant do 144 reliable look for some tests its true. So from time to time your rate goes down to maybe 142 frames while your PC still delivers 144, G sync or free sync can account for those fluctuations and sync it in this case also to 142 resulting in less shutter while maintaining higher rates and therefore smother game play.

I pull 100+ easily with an RX570 4GB on 1080p med (ultra textures), but that's with a 5Ghz 8600K.

Much faster CPU definitely helps

Well i got an i5 6600k at 4,5 GHz and it can also deliver enough frames

If OP is overclocking that's a different story, but a 6400 doesn't really deliver

Yes thats one of many problems for the smooth shutter free 144 hz gaming he wants.

Fps is not the issue. The display will NOT display 144hz. I get 160 Fps on overwatch.
