Hello, I recently purchased an XB271HU with a GTX 1080. I tried configuring it to 144 hz but the only options that I have in windows settings and Nvidia control panel are 59hz and 60hz. I use a DisplayPort and an HDMI. 
I read in forums that HDMI doesn't support 144 hz but whenever I plug my HDMI cable out I don't get a signal. I have a DVI-D socket in my GPU (I've read it supports 144hz) but the monitor itself doesn't have that socket. 
Any help would be appreciated.
