Nitro 5. LCD Overdrive model, but where's the settings?

Just bought a Nitro 5, part number NH.Q6ZEK.005. The Acer page for the model mentions the 144hz feature, and says this is possible via LCD Overdrive. Overdrive is not present in the Nitro sense app.

Acer page: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/model/NH.Q6ZEK.005

There no obvious reference anywhere in Windows to anything other than 60hz.

The part number and the model code, AN515-43-R5W3, are the same. I appreciate that there are about six thousand different Nitro 5 combinations, and that posts on this forum show people buying the wrong model for 144hz, but as far as I can see this ought to have the feature. It would be great if anyone can point me to how to resolve this 😀

Hey, I don`t see any mention of overdrive just this-

So indeed this looks like false advert.

Look at the device manager and let us know of the panel model. Do you have a sticker on the bottom left of the screen which say 144Hz or it is only 1080p?
Edit: just saw this video and it has sticker - 1080p which means it is 60Hz only. Sorry mate.

Thanks Batmalin. Does this mean that they are misadvertising this model? I wasn't expecting to see a 144 sticker, since overdrive is probably not something everyone would want to do all the time, and they clearly say that it is not a native 144 panel, but that the refresh rate is possible with overdrive. So either they are advertising it incorrectly, or the panel can use overdrive but they're not shipping it with the drivers activated. I'd like to hope it's the latter, but sadly I suspect you are right!
