no selection for 144hz highest will go is 120hz why?

[Brookesy]

Just got my new monitor MG279q which is a 144hz monitor, changed the refresh rate of the monitor straight away from 60hz but the highest selection is 120hz, even on nvidia control panel. How do i set it to 144hz?
Can't find any drivers for the monitor on ASUS website that help, and the disk only has AMD Catalyst Drivers which i don't need(nvidia GPU).

-GPU GTX 770
-MG279q monitor
-win 10 64bit

I think the "driver" that came with my monitor was just an inf file that properly described what the monitor could do. You probably just need to find that on the disc and install that to Windows. I wonder if the plug and play monitor standard doesn't cope well with modern monitors, my wife's AOC came up with about 75Hz max before I did the "driver" install.

Seems to be an issue[1,2] with that monitor and older nVidia cards. You can override the EDID with this utility (or similar other, use at own risk): http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Th...on-Utility-CRU

or hope that Asus/nVidia put out a fix.
