sorry if the answer is obvious, but i just brought the MSI Optix G27C2, I want to make sure its set at 144hz refresh rate, but i couldn't find any refresh rate option on the on-screen operation menu. with my old monitor, i could change the refresh rate in the on-screen option. is there some software i need to install? how do i change the monitor refresh rate?
thanks
 
Hello Sir,

Do you use DP cable? Please go into Display Settings -> Advanced display settings -> Display adapter properties -> click "Monitor" item then you can select screen refresh rate up to 144Hz.
 
Please check it on NVIDIA control panel as attachment.

Please connect with DP port or DVI port.
Max is just 120 HZ under HDMI port.

it does not work. when i try to change it the screen goes black and come back as 60hz. it also shows the monitor as "Generic PnP Monitor".  Yes, im using the DP cable as provided along with the monitor, and Im also using amd rx470 with the latest driver installed

Just reading online the Generic PnP Monitor is a bug or something like that, Just look it up online and there are a couple ways it shows how to get rid of it. Not a pro with monitors or anything, I am getting this MSI monitor for christmas though, Infact it is waiting upstairs in its box for me :p.
