Title says most of it. I have an AOC G2460PF as my primary for gaming because it has V-Sync but i tend not to use it. The second monitor is an AOC G2460PQU, both connected via DisplayPort. I have set both monitors to 144hz via display settings in Windows 10 (and have also tried this in Ubuntu). The primary clearly refreshes at 144hz and it shows. Scrolling, gaming, resizing are all very smooth and look great. On the second monitor which has been set to 144hz, my AMD Radeon Settings TELLS me it is set at 144hz, as well as the monitors on-screen display settings, as well as Windows 10 display settings, but it is obvious that the monitor is ACTUALLY spitting out a rate lower than 144hz (I suspect 60hz based on visuals alone).
It is so frustrating because I have not seen any solutions to this, but to summarize: all display settings that I can pull up on my PC tell me the secondary is set to 144hz, but it is plainly obvious that the actual refresh rate is much less than that. You can tell simply by comparing mouse ghosting on both monitors or resizing windows or any visual test such as the UFO website (im blanking on the name). So, all pieces of software that tells you the refresh rate is effectively lying to my face, and I can plainly see that the second monitor is not actually running at 144hz. Has anyone seen this issue on any other forums?
Again, based on software alone, one would believe that my second monitor is in fact running at 144hz, but the visuals tell a different story and I have no idea what is going on, but it seems as though no matter what settings I change, the second monitor appears to be locked at what appears to be 60hz, even though all display settings software (AMD, Windows, Ubuntu, etc.) tell me its 144hz. Please help me if you can. This should not be a GPU problem because I have an r9 390 and a i5-4690k. I am at a complete loss on what I should do.
