Hdmi up to 1.4 doesn't support refresh rates greater than 60Hz. You need to use a dp or dvi cable.

Right click on desktop, click screen resoltuion.  Then properties on the BenQ and change from 59 or 60 to 144hz.

That is a common issue for me.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

HDMI on current video cards does not support 144Hz.

Do the properties thing said above

And are you sure you have enough power to run games @ 144 Hz?

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

Use a dual-link DVI cable, you wont get 144Hz with HDMI.

The stars died for you to be here today.
