I've tried searching high and low for a solution to this, checked multiple threads and still no luck. Whenever I try to switch the monitor to anything higher than 60hz, either the screen squeezes itself into a different resolution or blurs out like a 144p Youtube video.
Example is when I try to set the monitor to 1080p 1920x1080 (native) 120hz via the Nvidia Control Control Panel, it turns into something like this https://imgur.com/a/AA5S6 (sorry for the quality, shitty phone)
At first I thought it was a cable issue (it might still be) since the cable that came with the monitor was only DVI-D single link. I bought a DVI-D dual link and I'm still getting the same issue. I also have a Display Port but the Monitor itself doesn't have a Display Port.
Couldn't find DVI-I dual link, but I'll look for one if it's the solution. Currently looking for a Display Port Converter/Adapter to see if the Display Port works but I live in the Philippines and I'm also having trouble finding Adapters/Converters here.
GPU Drivers are up to date.
I'm also running 2 monitors if it matters. The second monitor is just a generic monitor, I was hoping to run the XL2411 on 144 or 120 while keeping the other one at 60 if possible but if I need to drop the second
monitor just to get this one to 120/144 then that's totally fine. (P.S. - I already tried removing the second monitor then applying changes to the resolution/refresh rate, same result)
