144hz Monitor stuck at 60hz

[Simon Sniffcock]

Hi I recently got a new Acer XF270HU QHD 144Hz monitor. But I'm having trouble running games at 144hz as they all detect it as 60hz. I went into nvidia control panel and made sure the setting is at 144hz. However when I was digging through the monitor settings I noticed it says frequency is "v.60hz" Im guessing it mean its stuck at 60hz? I have no idea what's happened. Im using the Displayport 1.2 cable that came with the monitor which should support 2K at 144hz.

Have you tried vsync off on the setup?

Doesn't that happen when you have GPU scaling on with multiple monitors with ranging hz?

That page doesn't affect refresh rate/resolution. It's a preview of how the image will be affected by scaling. You set the refresh rate of the monitor from the "Change Resolution" section.
