I recently got a new monitor ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... ) Here is a list of the resolutions and refreshrates that the monitor supports i got right out of the manual: http://i.gyazo.com/c582191e918c3351ae78499823a230a5.png

I am trying to get 1400x1050 at 75 hz but it seems to only be allowing me to be at 60 hz.
The highest resolution I got to work at 75hz is 1280x1024

I am using a DVI cable and my graphics card is a 6950.

If you need any more information just say so and any help is appreciated.

Well, first off, you really should only be running at max resolution all the time anyways: 1920x1080 @ 60hz for your monitor. Any other resolution will not look as good, especially in normal desktop use. You can scale the DPI higher, if some things are a little too small for you, but it's generally best to only use the max resolution on LCDs.

Anyways, to answer your question
* Download the monitor drivers and see if it lets you use the higher refresh rate after you install them: http://www.viewsonic.com/us/vx2252mh.html
* If that doesn't work, maybe there is a way to force the refresh rate and resolution in the ATI control panel.

Side note: while the monitor might "claim" 75Hz ... all it is saying is that it accepts a 75Hz signal from the computer. However, the monitor might still only display 60Hz (and drop the remaining 15 frames). I don't know which one your monitor is; the only way to find out is through proper testing.

However, if you want a real IPS/PLS monitor that does real 95Hz to 120Hz there is one on the market.

This is how monitors typically work. They may support 75hz, but not above 720p typically. At their native resolution, they are 60hz.
