how do i set monitor to 144 on amd control panel

[Deleted member 24505]

just got a RX5700XT red devil to replace my dead gtx1080

My monitor is a iiyama GB2773HS 1920x1080 144hz. I had my GTX connected by DVI as my monitor does not have a DP connection, the DVI was fine with 144hz. Now as the 5700 does not have DVI i have connected it using a HDMI cable, but how do i set the refresh to 144? it is a long time since i have had a Radeon GPU.

thx

Right click the desktop and bring up display settings, then when the window loads scroll down a bit if you need to and look for Advanced display settings and click it.

Once done click display adapter properties for display 1 and this should popup,
Click the monitor tab and if all is working right you should be able to set 144hz in the drop down list.

According to the Iiyama GB2773HS manual it only supports 120/144 on Dual DVI and DisplayPort.

If you haven't used an AMD card since adrenalin driver suite replaced CCC then I can understand why you would be looking for it in there as it was always in AMD drivers up until they switched to adrenalin afaik, though it is strange it's not buried in there somewhere, I just looked but couldn't find anything, it's not a big issue anyway as I hardly ever need to change res and always use the method above and set it in Windows once and forget it. Though you have caused me a conundrum in doing so as I have just reealised freesync isn't enabled in my AMD settings and it say's "unsupported" so now I have something else to investigate as I know it is compatible and was running a few days ago

Strange, when I bought my 144 hz HP Monitor, on DVI I tried everything to get the 144 hz working, could only get 60 hz. I swapped to an high speed HDMI ultra 4k cable and started working right away. The mfg called for a display port to display port for it to work correctly, but I did have a display port on my card, but I got it working with the new HDMI cable.

Max is 120Hz on HDMI if its not HDMI 2.0 for the monitors port.

Just get a Displayport to DVI adapter and youll be able to run 144 using the DVI cable again.

If i remember right the max is 144hz on HDMI 1.4a port so if your screen only has HDMI 1.1 or 1.2 then your limited to 60hz i believe.
If you want higher then you need a screen with a HDMI 2.0 port.

@MxPhenom 216 beat me to it damn haha

Bit extreme, can't you just use DP adaptor? and what is the max under the monitor refresh rate in display properties in post #2? with your hdmi connected?

It is due to interface bandwidth, even if you did it wouldn't work rgb 4:4:4.

I was new to all this 144hz stuff, I learned by trial and error. I was a little upset, because Best Buy did not have the information in their ad that for this monitor to work in 144hz you needed to use a display port to display port. But somehow I was able to get mine working with the new cable. If you already have the 144hz monitor, it might just be the type port/cable it requires to achieve 144hz.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

i have no clue what version the hdmi is on this monitor. i think the best bet is a new monitor with a DP port tbh.

Is there no way i can find out the hdmi version?

Bit extreme, can't you just use DP adaptor? and what is the max under the monitor refresh rate in display properties in post #2? with your hdmi connected?

You don't need a displayport, you need a dvi double cable. It is the least fussy connector trust me.

That and CRU. You need reduced LCD timings.

Although most gamers think that G-Sync and Free-Synd are the "same thing" just different brands, that couldn't be further from the truth. On uses a scaler which has several advantages like being able to use PnP, the other uses a hardware module which provides performance advantages and allows for Motion Blue Reduction technology . There are numerpus performance advantages that come with that module as far as overclocked referesh rates and elimination of lag. Freesync and G-Sync are often available with the same basic panel ... the nVidia version versions generally supports higher refresh rates.

Overclocked Refresh Rates - TFTCentral

An article looking at the ability to overclock your refresh rate on some monitors, and how this is achieved. Does it help, and does it have problems?

www.tftcentral.co.uk

"Acer for instance have already released a few gaming monitors in their Predator range with enhanced refresh rates. The Acer Predator XR341CK (with AMD FreeSync support) was the first we tested in July 2015, boosting the native 60Hz panel refresh rate slightly up to 75Hz. ....Later we saw the Acer Predator X34, based on the exact same 60Hz panel as the XR341CK but this time using an NVIDIA G-sync module. Acer had managed to offer an overclocked refresh rate here of up to 100Hz so this is obviously a more impressive overclock! It seems to be the presence of the G-sync module, or perhaps the absence of an additional scaler, that is allowing this high overclock and other screens since have all followed this pattern. Again, with the additional overclocked refresh rate we saw improvements in perceived motion clarity (as a result of refresh rate), increased frame rate support and also a pleasing improvement in measured response times as well. As we explained before, the response time consideration is important for overclocked refresh rates, and so far the G-sync modules have done a nice job of improving response times as refresh rate increases as well.

We have also seen some other overclocked screens released so far, including models we have tested like the IPS Asus ROG Swift PG279Q (boosted from 144Hz native to 165Hz overclocked), the VA Acer Predator Z35 (boosted from 144Hz native to 200Hz) and the IPS Asus ROG Swift PG348Q (from 60 to 100Hz). These screens all have NVIDIA G-sync in common, so that appears to be the easiest way for manufacturers to overclock refresh rates at the moment. "

Variable Refresh Rates - G-sync and FreeSync - TFTCentral

A detailed look at variable refresh rates (VRR) including NVIDIA G-sync, AMD FreeSync and all the various versions and certifications that exist

www.tftcentral.co.uk

"Using a hardware G-sync module in place of a traditional scaler has some positives and negatives .... On the plus side, by removing the traditional scaler it does seem that all hardware G-sync module screens have basically no input lag. We have yet to test a G-sync screen that showed any meaningful lag, which is a great positive when it comes to gaming.

Overclocking of refresh rates on some displays has been made possible largely thanks to the G-sync module. The presence of this module, and absence of a traditional scaler has allowed previously much slower panels to be successfully overclocked to higher refresh rates. For instance the first wave of high refresh rate 34" ultrawide screens like the Acer Predator X34 and Asus ROG Swift PG348Q had a 100Hz refresh rate, but were actually using older 60Hz native panels. The G-sync module allowed a very good boost in refresh rate, and some excellent performance improvements as a result. This pattern continues today, as you will often see screens featuring the G-sync module advertised with a normal "native" refresh rate, and then an overclocked refresh rate where the panel has been boosted. For instance there's quite a lot of 144Hz native screens which can be boosted to 165Hz or above thanks to the G-sync module.

From our many tests of screens featuring the hardware G-sync module, the response times of the panels and the overdrive that is used seems to be generally very reliable and consistent, producing strong performance at both low and high refresh rates. This seems to be more consistent than what we have seen from FreeSync screens so far where often the overdrive impulse is impacted negatively by changes to the screens refresh rate. NVIDIA also talk about how their G-sync technology allows for "variable overdrive" where the overdrive is apparently tuned across the entire refresh rate range for optimal performance. "

My GPU does not have DVI monitor does. GPU-3x DP 1X HDMI/Monitor 1xHDMI 1XDVI

I did manage to icrease the refresh rate to 75hz using a custom resolution, using the hdmi to hdmi

I initially tried 144 on the hdmi, boy was that fun, unlike the nvidia driver which gives you 15 seconds or reverts back, the AMD driver does not, so i had to go into safe mode and run DDU othjer wise when i tried booting to windows it loaded said custom resolution and i had no display, (is there some way around this i don't know?)

That is actually very far from the truth. You haven't entered the realm of fun until you have installed cru. Trust me, it might do you good. You might be missing the feature because cru unsigns your driver to do some out of spec overclocking.
Don't mind the nvidia drum beaters, although you'll have to pony up for an hdmi 1.4 if you want 144 Hz. Then, you'll come and we'll discuss how to turn off hdmi overscanning.

I'm using a high speed hdmii cable now, is that a 1.4 cable?

I think i will give CRU a miss, i will end up getting myself into trouble lol. I just though i would give a Radeon card a try, it is deffo more powerful than the gtx1080 it replaced.

 

[mtcn77]

CRU
Yes, the way you do it is a combined install of radeonmod and cru. You can also do without radeonmod, but for sake of ease in resetting the gpu driver this is best(unless you want to go into your device manager and do it from there). You'll have to cycle the driver to see the changes via cru to take effect.
What you do is go to cru, make a 'detailed time table'(or whatever, it has to be detailed). Go pick your frequency at cru 'manual timing', change it to 'reduced', enter the correct sync polarities, adjust the vertical and horizontal total to fall just on 144.000Hz decimal repeat, accept and then reset the driver in order to find it in the refresh rate list and select it. Afterwards, go to Lagom. If your screen is shimmering, your sync polarities are off. Change them, there are only 4 variations to reset. It isn't too hard.

I have used CRU to get my refresh rate to 75hz. Is it worth trying higher or is the monitor only capable of 75hz via HDMI?

I have messaged iiyama and asked what version the HDMI port is

If it is hdmi 1.0 that is it. You need to go and purchase yourself a 1.4 cable.

Hopefully iiyama will get back to me and let me know. Seems a bit dumb not putting DP on a 144hz monitor AND a 1.0/1 HDMI port. So even with a 1.4 cable it would be 75hz if the monitor only has a 1.0/1 port?

Would you mind finding me a suitable cable from here, if you don't mind please?

I still don't get how did it come to shipping your monitor without its compatible interface connector. That seems unlikely, but due to old habit of shipping them with dvi connectors that might be plausible; eventhough it had to come with its specific displayport imo.

I still don't get it. How come did your monitor be shipped without its compatible interface connector. That seems unlikely, but due to old habit of shipping them with dvi connectors that might be plausible; eventhough it had to come with its specific displayport imo.

Not at all unlikely. Was stuck in Sweden earlier this year due to the pandemic, bought a cheap-ish Acer 144Hz screen that only came with a DVI cable. Had to go and buy a DP cable to make it work properly with a loaner computer I was using, as it didn't even have a DVI port...
I mean, Acer saved like $5-10 on that.

Yes, monitor has no DP, it has HDMI, and DVI, which did 144hz fine. gpu has no DVI. i did look at DP/HDMI to DVI adapters capable of 144 but tbh it would be cheaper to buy a new monitor

Would this be ok? i know it is pretty cheap.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-C27G1-...s=27+inch+144hz+monitor&qid=1603390478&sr=8-3

I could maybe go for a 1440 one if the 5700xt is capable and it is cheap enough
