Can't change screen refresh rate to 144 Hz

So i just got a new monitor (msi optix ag32c) and windows 10 doesn't let me change the refresh rate of the screen over 60 hertz?!

I asked from msi that why i cant change it to 144 hz and they said that i need to shut down my computer and remove the power cord and hdmi cable and wait 1 min and i tried that like 5 times but it didnt work. The monitor also doesnt have any drivers for
user download so windows 10 says that its a "generic pnp display".

So please dont comment " just right click on desktop and click advanced display settings."

Note: I am using HDMI and not DisplayPort and msi said that HDMI can only support 144 hz with this monitor.

 

Monitor going black on 144 hz

Hey, i just bought a new PC with a 4070Ti gigabyte aero edition, when i connected it to my 2 monitors, 1 is 144 hz (odyssey g5) and other one is 60, the 144 went completely black and the 60 one kept going on and off. i bought new cables the 144 hz is connected with 2.1 hdmi. and the 60 is connected with hdmi on the monitor and dp into the pc. when i change the hz on the 144 hz monitor to 60. they work fine. but when i switch it back to 144 the problem returns. this never happend on my old computer. i disconnected the hdmi 144 from the monitor itself and reconnected and now it works fine on 144 but it also did yesterday and the problem returned this morning. also, yesterday at night i had windows updates and i chose update and restart, and after 9 hours there still was a black screen after installing and i had to turn it off and on with the button on the case. does anyone have an idea why this is happening? i also tried uninstalling graphic drivers with DDU and re-installing. same problem. thank you!

 

Refresh rate Problem

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Screen refresh rate is the rate at which the data displayed on screen is refreshed; it may be an image or some text document. Most of the users would like to set it to a higher rate but this also depends on the capacity of graphic
card and monitors. If the refresh rate is slow, the images on the display looks as flickering to the user eye and makes it uncomfortable to work.

Nowadays the latest monitors available in market will have minimum 60 Hz of refresh rate and it is very good option to set it to 70 Hz if you your monitor is compatible. Normally a high performance or quality monitors can reach
120 Hz of refresh rate. So I would suggest you to set your monitor refresh rate as higher as possible, below given steps describes how to access this feature on your Windows 8.1/10 PC.

• The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
• If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
• Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.

I would, as of now, suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest display and chipset drivers available for the latest operating system (currently it would be 8.1 in the list).

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
