Hey there everyone. I've got a beautiful BenQ 27" monitor that apparently wants to stay running at 59Hz no matter what I do. I'm running it via DVI off of a Gigabyte GTX 980Ti; the 144Hz option has never shown up, and even in the nVidia control panel it won't stay put at 60Hz. Does the 980Ti not support 144Hz? Do I just have a bad driver or perhaps even faulty card? The card has run everything I've thrown at it and absolutely begs for more, even managing decent FPS in that mod nVidia made for Fallout 4 to showcase the 10-series' shader capabilities.

I think I can dig up a different DVI cable. Should I maybe try via DisplayPort as well? The monitor supports it.

Side note: I posted this three days ago in Displays and got no response. Here I got a helpful response less than a minute later. I love you guys!
