stuck at 60hz, XG270HU

Hi everyone,

Just so everyone knows im a big noob when it comes to monitors and graphics. But please bear with me Smiley Happy
I just bought a XG270HU screen.
I tried to increase my refresh rate to the 144 that the monitor can handle but without success The only option I can chose is 60 hz. I investigate why this was and did see that windows has chosen the generic PNP monitor. So i did install the drivers from ACER for this monitor (I think ACER should upgrade this drivers beacuse i have the same problem as these guys http://community.acer.com/t5/Predator-Discussions/XG270HU-drivers-cause-color-distortion/td-p/359499 but i can live with that Smiley LOL ). But I still can't change my refresh rate from 60Hz.
Thankfull for any help or sugestions.

Information:
OS: Windows 10

Cable: Dual DVI-D
Graphic card: AMD Radeon R9 200/ HD 7900 Series, Driver Version 15.300.1025.1001

Since you have the Acer Monitor Driver installed already have you tried doing this?

To switch your monitor to 144hz in windows. Right click the desktop -> Display settings -> advanced display settings -> Display adapter properties -> click on the Monitor tab -> select Screen refresh rate -> select 144 Hertz -> Click "Apply".
