Chaning refresh rate lowers resolution

Whenever I try to switch the refresh rate in my display settings from 60hz to anything else the resolution is immediately lowered quite a lot for my entire pc. It isn't like the higher you make the refresh rate, the lower the resolution is either; 85hz and 144hz are identically low resolution. I haven't found anyone with the same problem on the internet, so any help would be appreciated. My monitor is the asus VG248QG and my graphics card is a GeForce 1060 3GB.

 

How to set default refresh rate

I've no control in the resolutions dropdown, and of course I can select the exact mode I want from List all modes.

But what I'm trying to accomplish is for Windows to recognize 60hz as the default refresh rate when changing resolutions (when I'm not specifying the refresh rate).

That comes in handy when running applications (mostly games) which let you select resolutions but not refresh rates. And yes, those applications do support the resolution/60hz combination I want for them.

So that's why this thread is titled "How to set a default refresh rate". If it's no possible, then so be it. But I could swear that before the Windows Creator's update, changing resolutions didn't lower my refresh rate.

 

Refresh rate

Hello everyone

I have bought a new laptop and it says the max refresh rate is 120hz. But whatever I do I cannot get past 60hz. I tried It with NVidia control pane and with windows display settings. But on both NVidia control panel and windows display settings (list all
modes and refresh rate) it says I cant get past 60hz and my driver is updated. I even tried to get 120hz with a lower resolution but it doesn't work. If someone knows what the problem is can you help me?
