My 2560x1440 isn't showing that

[xDylanio]

Okay so lets start with my resolution, well my monitor is 2560x1440, it says that i'm currently on that resolution but i'm not, I can see an outline of where my computer screen ends. I made a picure showing it.

http://prnt.sc/dqs4g1


So the red shows where my screen ends, and it's clearly not 2560x1440,

http://prntscr.com/dr5nwc it even shows on that website, that I am not using 2560x1440. My question is how do I fix it, and why does my nvidia say it is. http://prntscr.com/dr5ojq (Also this is not because I use two monitors, because i just put the second monitor yesterday, and the day before that I still had that issue)

Are you using Display port or the HDMI 2 connector on your monitor?

Currently I used a HDMI connector, but before I used a VGA and my monitor stayed the same thru both.

Unless your monitor supports HDMI 2.0, you're not getting 2560x1440@60 through it... You need DP or DVI.

So you're saying that I can only get 2560x1440 if I use a HDMI 2.0 cable, or a DP or a DVI cable? Correct?

There is no HDMI 2.0 cable, only 2.0 monitors and GPU outputs. Which monitor is it?

I'm on DP and nothing changed.

Is the monitor set to DP 1.2 in it's menu?

2560×1440 at 60 Hz can be done over HDMI 1.4
