144 Hz monitor locked at 120 Hz

[chineetim]

I recently bought an AOC AGON AG271QX monitor that is supposed to run at 144 Hz. In the windows options and Nvidia control panel there are only options for 120 Hz. I tried creating a custom resolution in Nvidia control panel using 144 Hz but after I clicked "save settings' the resolution wouldn't actually show up as an option to select. I'm using the displayport to connect my monitor to my pc. I have also downloaded the monitor's drivers. I've already checked the OSD options and set the displayport to 1.2. I need help because I really don't know what to do at this point.

Specs:

Intel i7-4770k 3.50GHz CPU

8GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

Kepler GPUs have a hardware limit of 540 Mpx/s, which limits you to 120 Hz at 1440p.

But if I set the resolution to 1920x1080 should I be able to get 144 Hz?

You can always try. But that GPU is pretty underpowered for 120/144Hz.

You should be able to, as long as you have GPU scaling disabled. (NVIDIA control panel under "Adjust desktop size and position" set scaling to perform on Display)
