Hi,
This monitor has a feature that displays the current Hz of the monitor.
When I use a HDMI cable I can see the Hz change accordingly to the FPS but the problem with HDMI is that is can only go up to 120hz.
When I use a DisplayPort cable I can get 144hz but the Hz doesn't change, it keeps at 144hz. Freesync is turned on at the AMD settings.
Any idea how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance

Hello,
Have you tried a different DisplayPort on your card or on the monitor? There are occasional situations with certain ports not working with FreeSync.
P.S. You Posted twice. There's a moderator queue for new users (a feature I've activated of the form upgrade) since spammers were trying to invade our forums, so apologies if your posts didn't show up immediately.

I figured out that you can experience issues when using different Hz monitors, like I did.
When I used HDMI FreeSync would work perfectly but when I switched to DisplayPort it wouldn't work for some reason. I discovered that when I unplugged my second monitor it would work without any issues! So after searching about having issues with 2 different Hz monitors I found a solution!
I turned on the Intel HD graphics in the BIOS and plugged in my second monitor into my motherboard. Now everything works like it should!
I don't know if this issue is related to Windows or to the AMD drivers but I THINK it's related to Windows since Nvidia cards also have issues using different Hz monitors.
