Need help with triple monitor setup (SOLVED)

[Solidjake]

Hey guys. I'm trying to finally get 144hz on all three of my Asus VG248QE monitors paired with my PNY GTX1060 6GB XLR8 card. I tried different cable combinations and it won't allow the last monitor to stay at 144hz. I tried 3x DP, 2x DP 1X DVI+, 2x DP 1X DPtoDVI, 1x DP 1x DVI 1x DPtoDVI.. you get the gist. All drivers up to date.



Any advice to get that third running 144hz would be great. Thanks.

If you unplug one of the 144hz monitors, can the 60hz monitor reach 144hz? Trying to eliminate sources of the problem I can think of.

I tried and it did not work. I forgot to mention that the DP on the third monitor is not working for some reason... So when I used DP (on the gpu) to DVI on that monitor the monitor does turn on and work capped to 60hz but plugging in DP-DP it has no signal. I might have to borrow my friends monitor and see if it's the monitor. ffs

You might be hitting the Maximum Digital Resolution of the card. Try setting all of the panels to 120hz or lower.

Tried that. Set the other two lower and the third is still capped to 60hz. It won't even give me any other option than 60hz.

when they re all double linked, and when you lower the resolution if it still doesnt give you higher hz.. then its probably the limit of the card or the combination limit.. to verify you might contact Asus..

A similar problem, but he has a 1080 and solved it by windows update.

Thanks for the help. I did some digging online and for some reason Asus monitors have an issue where they lose the DP signal/connection and need to have the power cable disconnected. I did that and it worked perfectly. All three running at 144hz.
