144Hz monitor not running at 144Hz

[CWSfan16]

I bought a Pixio px277 (1440p 144Hz monitor) a month ago.  I cannot figure out out to get it to display higher than 80Hz.  When I go to Display Settings - Advanced Display Settings - Display Adapter Properties - Monitor... it only gives me the option of 59, 60, 70, or 80 Hz.

 

Am I missing something?

How is it connected to your video card? HDMI? Display port?

Also, what video card you using?

Make sure you're connected to DVI and have your video drivers updated.

...DisplayPort, not DVI, right?

I am connected via DVI-D

Sorry, yes.  I didn't look at the monitor well enough to see it natively supports DP.

That's the problem.

 

DVI-D Can't deliver 1440p at 144Hz.

 

EDIT: It can't deliver that using only one connector, and your monitor has one DVI input. so displayport is the best choice.

DVI only supports up to 2560×1440 at ≈75-80 Hz.
