ElectricQ 1440p monitor (eiQ-27MQ95FSHDRU) can't run above 60hz?

I can't seem to get my new monitor (link below) to run at the advertised 95Hz. It won't go above 60Hz at any resolution (tired 1080p as well and it's not working).

I have an R9 290 which I understand supports DP 1.2 (which means it should support 1440p 95Hz surely?). I have tried both DP and HMDMI cables.

The option for 95Hz is shown in display properties but when applied the screen flickers or turns black before reverting back to 60Hz. It shows up as a Generic Pnp Monitor in control panel, but it registers as a freesync compatible monitor in the AMD control panel. I'm a bit stumped here tbh, does anybody have experience dealing with this sort of problem?

Thanks for all the replies. I tried the monitor with my ryzen laptop via HDMI and 95Hz works fine so it's clearly something to do with my card. I have manually set the resolution and refresh rate in the AMD control panel it goes up to 1440p 88Hz before the screen starts flickering. This is over DP as HDMI only goes up to 60Hz on the R9 290. Strange issue but at least i'm close to 95Hz and I know it's not the monitors fault.

As for the monitor, i'm very impressed with the quality of the display for the price. Really, really nice colours and sharpness. A noticeable step up over my old samsung 1080p curved VA monitor.
