DDU- Display Driver Uninstaller Download version, this erases your old drivers so you can install the newest version.

I recommend you get a regular displayport 1.4 cable instead of a DVI-D link, sometimes the adaptors have connection problems.

my gpu only has HDMI and Display port and my monitor has HDMI, DVI, and VGA , I tried using HDMI to HDMI and it wont work so should i try DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI? and should both ends be a specific version?

can you give us a screenshot of your nvidia control panel before I make anymore suggestions? your DVI-D dual link should have no problems but it could be a fake cable.

The Display port to dvi-d ( dual link ) i got it from amazon basics could that be the problem?

Seems like a cable issue then, have you tried all your available HDMI cables yet?

Does your monitor come with it's own cable as well? That one should work.

it only came with a cable to plug into the wall and a DVI-D ( single link ) cable but my GPU doesnt have a port for that

I'm out of ideas, you might have to get a new HDMI cable, version 2.1 for guaranteed frequency.

It's probably your cable not supporting such high refresh rate because your monitor and gpu checks out
