Display Hz different from monitor hz

Hi Guys. Sorry for making another thread, but i just wanted to clarify something. My adapter settings for my aoc g2460pf show that i can go up to 144hz, but whenever I set it to 144 hz, it automatically resets to 60 hz in my adapter settings for some reason. However, my nvidia control panel shows that my display is currently on 144 hz.

So I wanted to know if I am on 60 or 144 hz if my adapter settings show 60 hz and my nvidia control panel shows that I'm on 144 hz.

Thanks! :)

Edit: I did the testufo.com test and it says I have 60 hz. Is there something wrong with my monitor? I am using displayport, which should support 144 hz.

To be fair you should really notice it by eye. The level of smoothness between 60 and 144hz is pretty huge. Move your mouse cursor fast in little circles or play games for a few minutes and you should notice if it either feels a lot smoother or worse (depending on what hz you're used to).
Edit: What cable do you use to connect your monitor? Usual HDMI cables don't support 144hz, you should use DVI or DisplayPort

Issue is likely not with the monitor.
"adapter settings show 60 hz" where are you looking for this?

"I did the testufo.com test and it says I have 60 hz." Which web browser are you using? Internet Explorer doesn't support over 60Hz. Edge doesn't support it correctly (shows my 240Hz as 80Hz rofl). Firefox and Chrome both require hardware acceleration to do over 60Hz.

In chrome for hardware acceleration click the 3 dots in the top right -> click settings -> scroll down and click "advanced" -> scroll down and find the system area -> make sure the slider is to the right (to the left of the button should turn blue) for hardware acceleration
should look like this

In firefox for hardware acceleration it should be on by default for most, but just in case. Click the 3 dashes in the top right -> go to options -> under "performance" uncheck -> "Use recommended performance settings" -> make sure "Use Hardware acceleration when available" is checked.
should look like this if you have to go this route

Thanks, I use Displayport, as Dual DVI causes my monitor to flicker and artifact.

I have hardware accel on chrome and it still shows 60 hz on testufo.com I checked my adapter settings from right clicking windows > display settings > display adapter properties > monitor. I put it on 144 hz, but when i apply and keep changes, i close the tab and open it again, and it shows 60 hz.

EDIT: It's all good. I did mat_info in cs go and it says 1920x1080 at 144hz

Thank you all for your input and help! <3

Something else is limiting your refresh rate then at the desktop. Probably some really dumb windows 10 setting that I don't recall atm cause there's a handful of them that does this.
