I'm using the MSI RX480 (Crimson 16.11.5) and have upgraded my Asus 1080p 60Hz monitor to the BenQ XL2430 144Hz today connecting it using DP to DP cable but in Crimson, there is no option to change the pixel format and I'm used to YCbCr 4:4:4 but I think display port default pixel format is Full RGB, is there any way to change it or do I have to give up 144Hz?
 
Where you using HDMI on the old monitor? As I believe that option only shows up when using HDMI.
Yes, I was using HDMI connection on my old monitor.

Welcome to the PC standard :D They is no reason to not use RGB Full range also known has the PC range.
The only reason you had the option on HDMI is for backwards compatibility with old TVs and Monitors that didn't support the Full colour Range.

Might i ask why you would want to use a less colour range than Full range?
I have been using YCbCr 4:4:4 for 7+ years now and I'm used to it, when I plugged in the new monitor today I noticed the difference straight away, the font is not clear as it used to be and colours.
 
This is more likely down to a number of things other than not being able to switch pixel format tbh. Completely different make of monitor, panel, windows colour profiles and calibration etc.
Spend sometime tweaking it and you'll grow to love it.
I have played around with the monitor settings including sharpness and contrast but the font is still not as clear, is there a third party software that can change pixel format so I can see if that is the problem?
