144hz won't work

[Wimpy_Cobra]

I recently purchased an AOC G2460PQU and can't seem to get the 144 refresh rate. However, the 120 hz option works. Can somebody help me?

 

Using RX 480 with DisplayPort cable

 

AMD Radeon 17.5.1

Try using an older driver. Make sure to use DDU to uninstall the driver.

how would you do that? it does not make any sense to use an older driver.

Don't do that. Get the driver from AMD's site. Guru3d also has a good database of older drivers because I know AMD's site is a bit hard to use to find older ones.

Also, DDU is display driver uninstaller. Just do a google search.

I'm not sure which driver to downgrade to. I'm nervous that ill install adware from a non amd website.

If that doesn't work, try using a different cable.

There's no adware on guru3d. Try 17.4.2. That's what I'm using.

try shutting down pc, then unplug monitor wait then plug in and turn on monitor before turning on pc

just a suggestion

 

believe this is an issue with windows and displayport being treated as plug and play device I have ran into this issue many times

 

on my pc and few people I know I cant manually turn off my monitors while windows is running and must have monitors on before I turn my pc

would this be related to why my PB287Q sometimes turns on in DP 1.1 mode ? Every now and then when i turn my PC on it boots to a sickening 3840x2160@30hz instead of 60hz, and i have to power cycle the monitor to fix it

possibly

I have searched high and low for a real fix

it also will fuck with my resolution and monitor layout

Make sure the monitor is running in DP 1.2 mode, check in OSD settings of the monitor.

Try different DP, different cable, different drivers

Did you use the Cable that was included with teh Monitor, or did you buy a new Cable?

if so, which Cable did you buy? Maybe you bought a bad one.

 

There is a chance, the included DP Cable isn't that great, and has too low quality for 144 Hz.

 

There are tons of people with a 4k / 60 Hz monitor, where the included DP Cable was NOT able to transfer 4k @ 60 Hz.
