Dual monitors - Frequency Issue

[Nilsen]

Hey.

 

So I've been using a GTX 1080 Founders Edition for a while now.

Connected to two monitors:

1 - ASUS MG279Q (1440p 144hz)

2 - BenQ XL2540 (1080p 240hz)

 

I've just received a PG348Q as I plan to switch out my MG279Q with it, and use the BenQ

as a secondary monitor, for CS:GO and other "twitchy" games.

 

Thing is though when I now run the BenQ and the PG348Q, I can't get the BenQ to over 60hz for some reason.'

The 348Q is stable at 100hz, but I can only seem to get over the 60hz limit on the BenQ when disconnecting the 348Q.

 

Both using the same DisplayPort cables that I used on my previous setup.

I've tried to restart, reconnect cables, switched ports on the GPU, all the stuff that usually fixes a monitor stuck at a lower frequencies.

 

Thanks for any tips on this....

Try setting a custom resolution in the NVIDIA control panel, under Change Resolution -> Customize

Thanks for all the replies.

 

Turns out my BenQ was set to the 1080p option in the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" "menu" and 

not the "PC" one in NCP - which apparently doesn't let you go over 60hz...

 

Well you learn something every day...
