Asus PG279Q won't overclock to 165Hz

[Starwop]

Hello,

I just received my PG279Q and other than a couple of finger prints on the panel, it is in perfect condition!

However..... I can't get the monitor to overclock to 165Hz (A buddy's got the same problem). I've got a 980 TI, I've enabled G-sync, I've overclocked the monitor to 165Hz and turned it off and on again. It still won't show the 165Hz when I click the refresh rate button.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? There's literally nothing helpful to find online..

EDIT: I'm using the DisplayPort cable that came with the monitor.

Best regards
Marcus

What cable are you using to connect the monitor?
If you're using HDMI cable, then only 50Hz and 60Hz modes are available.

I am having the same exact issue with this monitor. I just took it out of the box tonight, it is a really nice product.
I have tried setting it to 165, the resetting the monitor. Yet, when I press the refresh/turbo button it still shows that I am at 60. Have not been able to figure it out yet.

I was just able to figure it out. Go to your Nvidia control panel -> Change resolution settings. Right next to where you can select your resolution is a dropdown menu for the refresh rate. You can select 165 from there. Huge difference, you can tell right away from the way the mouse cursor moves.

I hope this helps

Well done msilano1 but thus thread is nearly a year old and I'm going to close it.

Your advice will still be readable but in future, please only post in threads where the latest post was less than two weeks old.
