    New monitor running at 144hz but programs aren't


    I've just got a new monitor which runs at 144hz and at the moment have only connected my work laptop to it. I've gone into the display settings in Windows and made sure it's displaying at 144hz. I've also checked on the monitor itself and it says that it's displaying at 144hz.

    However, the only thing on my screen that's running at 144hz is my cursor, everything else seems to be locked at 60, which I've confirmed on testUFO. It's only my work laptop so not the end of the world if I can't fix it but it'd be nice to be able to make the most of the new monitor. It's also fairly locked down since I don't have admin access on Windows. Anyone know of a solution?

    Hi Anoosh,

    Note: Depending on graphics card, these instructions may vary.

    Please go to Display Settings and try the following:

    - Select the monitor from the list of displays

    - Scroll down and select 'Advanced display settings'

    - Select 'Display adapter proprties for Display #'

    - Select 'List All Modes'

    - Select desired resolution and refresh rate (1920 x 1080 @ 144hz)

    If these options are not there, you may need to change them from your graphics card software (i.e NVIDIA Geforce Experience, or AMD Catalyst Control Center).

    Hope this helps,

    Nathan
