Why Is Nvida control panel so crappy? 30hz instead of 60

[Abdullahseba]

Hi

I have three 4k monitors running off a GTX 1060. Two are running off Display Port and one off HDMI. But I have one BIG problem with Nvida's control panel firstly because its slow and crappy looking and two it don't frigging do what its supposed to. It shows a like a million resolutions which I don't need or want and it randomly forces the third monitor (on DP) to 30Hz for no apparent reason. Sometimes turning one of the other monitors on will get it back to 60hz, sometimes a restart and sometimes neither. Than I have to mess around for ten million years trying to get it working. Also when you turn a monitor off it disables it in windows which is nice (no disappearing mouse) and randomly it wont.

I have gone though quite a few re-installation of windows with no difference even on the latest drivers. The monitors are the  LG - 27UD68-P

Check the screenshots below and notice the three different bloody ways of saying 4K.

Just to be clear I have had the lot work at 4K 60Hz.

Any idea whats happening?

Thanks in advance.

Ahh.

 

You're connected to the 3rd and 1st ones using DP, and the 2nd one with HDMI.  That may help you figure it out

Its because you have DSR enabled, go to manage 3d settings>DSR-Factor set it to off. As for the 30hz problem. Not sure,ddu reinstall is always the first advice

And? HDMI 60hz works fine....

It was just an observation I made.

Well it says one runs off HDMI in the post anyway.

Oh sorry i didnt see you were already on 4k. Thats normal, it will be worse if they didnt show any other resolution along with native.  You said you've done a reinstall of windows. Have you tried ddu your driver but also unplugging your internet. Iv had issues with windows auto installing drivers after when I logged back on after doing ddu and it will bug out my monitors as well.

the one that's at 30hz doesn't show native next to it's resolution.

Try setting it to 8 bpc color depth instead of 10 bpc.

I've tied all that and it should work regardless.

So it's a 1080p monitor?

Did the HDMI cable come with the monitor?  While the pinouts are the same, there are high-speed variants for higher res, higher FPS.

Is your HDMI port capable of delivering 4K 60Hz, and is your HDMI cable good enough?

Then why is it suggesting 1080p? You wanted help, the solution is most likely connected to why that monitor is asking to run at 1080p.

You can see from the screenshot it is and yes. DP is the problem!!! are people reading??????

try connecting the monitor that's not working through DP, and the ones that are through HDMI. that will determine if it's the cable's fault or not.

 

What GPU?

I've gone thorough all that before.

And read the bloody post.

Maybe your displayport cable is 1.0/1.1, not 1.2+?
try switching displayport cables between the two monitors that aren't working.
