I recently bought an AOC G2770PF 144hz 1ms Monitor which you can check out here: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2770PF-Freesync-DisplayPort-Speakers/dp/B013YIR5WU
Currently, i don't have a Desktop Computer so I am running this on my laptop you can check it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PYZI8E/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
Anyways, The Monitors 'Extra' Tab on the OCD shows:
Horizontal Refresh Rate: 68KHz
Vertical Refresh Rate: 60Hz
Which, of course, is odd considering the monitor literally shows 144hz on the Frame. I am using a Male HDMI and Male DVI-D cable to connect the two (I'm not sure if this is the problem or not) I mainly play csgo on 1400x1050 resolution so I thought that since HDMI 1.3+ can (apparently) support 144hz @ 1920x1080 that I could of course play on 144hz on a resolution less than 1920x1080. when I checked the csgo console command "mat_info" it said that I was running 1400x1050@60hz what is the problem?
Best Answer
The problem is that windows doesn't default to a 144 Hz refresh rate for your monitor, you have to change it yourself.
On Windows 10 you can find it this way:
- right click the desktop
- select display settings
- click on the monitor you want to change the settings from (if in a multi-monitor setup)
- click on Display adapter properties
- switch to the monitor tab
- select 144Hz in the Screen refresh rate dropdown list
