144hz not showing up?

[snooby]

Okay so I just got a new rig today, 1080ti, and my 144hz monitor isn't showing a 144hz option anymore.

My old set up was a gtx980, two monitor set up. Second monitor using a VGA to hdmi, the VGA being in the monitor and the hdmi into the graphics card. and then my 144hz monitor had a dvi-d from monitor into graphics card and it was fine.

Now on the 1080ti there was no dvi-d port, so I had to go get a displayport cable. My second monitor is the same, VGA to hdmi. My main 144hz monitor is using a hdmi displayport cable. HDMI into the monitor, displayport into the graphics card, and then only hz showing up are 60, 59, 50, 30, 29, 25.

Do I need a diplayport to displayport, is that why my 144hz won't show up?

Yes, HDMi can only handle 60hz. Your previous DVI-D connector had a bigger bandwith than HDMi, that's why you had the 144hz option.

Okay got it. The thing is 1080ti doesn't have dvi-d slots anymore, just 1 hdmi and 3 display ports. So how would I get my monitor back to 144hz? would displayport -> displayport hit that?

Displayport to displayport would do the job.

Hey dude thanks for helping, I got my display port cable today and I was confused at first because it was only showing 60hz still but then I saw that I was in ultra HD, HD, SD mode, then I went down to PC 1920 x 1080 and 144hz showed up. What is the difference between those two modes though? And why can't 144hz work with ultra hd, hd, sd mode and only work with pc mode
