My monitor has 165hz but it limits me to 144hz!

[F.E.A.R.]

My monitor is LG 31.5'' UltraGear™ QHD 1440p 165hz, yet my display resolution only shows 1440p/144hz with my HDMI 2.0. The DPI cable didn't make a problem displaying 165hz however it wasn't compatible with new hardware and it would show only a black screen.

 

HDMI 2.0 still limits me to 144hz despite having a Ryzen 5600x, RTX 3600 and Asus TUF Plus X570 plus.

Yep, that's normal. Use DisplayPort.

huh? What do you mean it's not compatible with new hardware? 

 

I don't think that's why you are getting a black screen, displayport is not outdated or anything. It's available on all new hardware I've seen

That's per HDMI 2.0 spec.

The display port out of the box of my monitor I ran into a constant black screen loop. It wasn't a thing when I changed to HDMI. I was told that it's old tech and it's not compatible that's why the black screen cause.

That is blatantly false and I'd be suspect of any advice you receive from that person.

 

You'll need the higher bandwidth of DP 1.4 to achieve 165Hz at 1440p. Make sure the monitor is set to its DisplayPort input and if necessary try multiple DP ports on the GPU.

Other than what @GuiltySpark_said, you could also try multiple DP cables. Possible the one that came with it is messed up

Yes, I will buy a new one and try it out.
