HDMI 120Hz

[RLKxZap]

I have a 144hz monitor that has HDMI, VGA, and DVI inputs. When I had my old PC plugged into my monitor using DVI I was able to get the full 144hz, then I got a new PC that doesn't support DVI, so I use HDMI instead. I'm only able to get a maximum of 75hz on my monitor now. I've tried going into my NVIDIA graphics settings and making a custom resolution, but the most I can get is 75 Hz. I've even bought an HDMI to Display Port cable but that doesn't make a difference. Is there any way that I can get 120hz using HDMI?

Sounds like it could be a simple case of having an older 1.4 spec HDMI cable... get a 2.0 one or switch to a proper display port one.  I'm getting 144hz over display port on mine.

This is very unlikely to be due to the cable itself.
