Hi, i just purchased a Acer XF270HU 27-inch WQHD from amazon.

I bought a displayport cable from bestbuy serial number ns-pdd607.

The advetised specs are 2560x1440 144mhz.

But im only getting 2560x1440 @119mhz refresh. Thats literally the best option that appears in the advanced display settings?

I have a msi gaming x 1080ti
A ryzen 1700x
32 gb ram
Crosshair hero vi wifi mobo

Any idea whats wrong. Do you think i should buy a better cable??

Thanks in advance.

I figured it out. I just had to go to the nvidia control panel.
