How to get 75HZ over HDMI cable

[Odd fella]

I have an Asus VG245H and a gtx 970. I turned V Sync off via nvidia control panel, then turned it to "Fast" as suggested on a YouTube vid. I tried "On" as well. Also turned v sync off in-game.

My Asus FPS counter is locked at 60. My steam FPS counter averages about 70-80 in game. Which one is right? If my monitor is still locked at 60, what can I do to reach 75?

Not sure if you even can with GTX 970, it's freesync monitor for AMD cards and 75 Hz usually works when you have freesync enabled with AMD card.
With Nvidia card it just runs at 60 Hz like normal 1080p monitor.

Frame rate =/= refresh rate

What exactly are you wanting to achieve?

you cant use free sync with a nvidia gpu

So am I locked to 60fps? I can't go over that with the 970?

I should've done more research.

Pretty much unless you want to swap your card to RX 580 or Vega.
Should have bought just the regular 144 Hz monitor (something like Acer GN246HL or BenQ XL2411) or one with G-sync for Nvidia altough G-sync is quite expensive.

I'm happy with it anyway. It's the best budget monitor for under £200

I went into Display adapter properties and changed it to 75HZ from there. Now my FPS counter is locked at 75.

Does anybody know which FPS counter is correct, the steam one or my ASUS one?

[Blaagh]

both I guess. steam shows the frames rendered by the game - from what you tell the asus shows your monitor actual refresh-rate. when the game renders more frames than your monitor can show it will just drop unused.

input processing is usually tied to fps; so higher fps ingame will reduce input-lag but you're likely to get screen tearing with v-sync off.

Like I posted above, frame rate is not the same as refresh rate.

Your "Asus FPS counter" doesn't sound like a FPS counter at all. Is it on your monitor itself? Sounds like a refresh rate readout.

So, both are correct, because they measure different things.

You can use the Nvidia Control Panel or for AMD, the Catalyst software but if they don't work, you can create a custom resolution with CRU (Custom Resolution Utility). You could even overclock the monitor to 80 or 90Hz and see how stable that is.

You can check your frames per second here as well:

i had the same issue before.
It due to the limit of hdmi cable you are using. swich to a vga cable and you should be hitting 75hz.

VGA can’t carry any better than HDMI. HDMI can support much higher, depending on the port.
