Hello,
Recently i bought a Benq XL270Z monitor only to find out my graphics card doesn't support 144hz apparently. It only shows me 60hz in the advanced monitor settings and when i go to amd to set it to 100+ hz it says my custom resolutions are not compatible with this display. I've tried using CRU, i've tried using different cables and i have even tried overclocking my system using an amd ati pixel clock patcher. The result was actually getting the options higher than 60hz and i can even set it to 144hz but it says incorrect cable and my screen even starts tearing ! It doesn't matter which one it's set to 100/120/144 hz they all do this and they all tear and my screen display keeps going away. I have an old Amd r7 200 graphics card and i already have my eyes on a new graphics card. The Asus STRIX-GTX960, now my problem is since my rig is so old i don't know if everything will come together smoothly by just upgrading this and being able to use my pc normally WITH the extra feature of 144 hz. I've already looked at some specs and compatibilities and i need confirmation from someone who really knows about stuff like this since i'm unsure about knowing everything to prevent problems of something not working. Thank you very much in advance for all your replies.
tl;dr: I need someone who will tell me if this setup will come together smoothly without any problems of something not fitting or not being compatible tech wise, like bottlenecking and all that jazz.
