You using the turbo button to change it or setting it via windows/nvidia control panel? I've found the first time I hooked the monitor up the button didn't wanna switch mine but after a reboot it resolved.

Im using AMD GPU's atm, ive tried changing in windows and in the AMD CCC, the turbo button wont change the refresh rate from 60hz. hopefully its nothing to do with AMD cards as Asus stated it can still be used as a 144hz gaming monitor but without g-sync or ulmb (obviously). :confused:

Are you using afterburner by any chance? A thread on the asus forums suggests setting that to not use powerplay support resolves it. It's not the ROG monitor but a 144Hz one all the same: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?35513-Monitor-flips-out-with-144Hz-video

Hopefully it helps :)

Thanks for the help, i tried but no joy :(. i was using afterburner, reset back to CCC, installed new drivers and still happening whenever i go above 60hz. I made a quick video on my phone of what happens on anything above 60hz allthough not as bad as it is on 144hz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbGIHbUrWIw&feature=youtu.be

I would suggest posting in the Graphics Card forum as there's plenty of helpful AMD users who should be able to guide you through the settings that might fix it, been a few years since I used AMD so I'm not up to speed with it all sadly.

@Gibbo I know this is OCUK forum but saying competitors don't have stock is not true and bordering on slander. You didn't pay extra for fast delivery since they got them at the same time. They also offer Sunday delivery, so you know ...

Thanks for your help anyways, ive checked the asus forums and it seems almost everybody with AMD cards struggles to get the monitors to work at anything over 85hz :confused:. apparently waiting on driver support from AMD.

No competitor had stock yesterday, we paid for same day delivery to get monitors with our customers today.

So you know. :)
