[Solved] Computer Problems after cable swapping

[Amanda]

Evening,

a while ago i accidently tested to play at a 144Hz monitor and i accidentally got in love with it so i went directly to buy one, along with a HDMI cable, i saw that you only could choose 60hz on it. I thought it was some bug, today i came across some youtuber that said that it doesnt wokr to use HDMI for 144 HZ, so i attached a DVI, and i could choose 144 in windows, after that my fps in gta V went from 80-100 to 15.. then i changed back to HDMI.. and then basically everything got fucked up.

Samp is crashing on Launch:

Shadowplay refuses to work:

Same low fps on gta V...


appart from re-installing windows are there any other solutions? my windows-disc doesn't seems to work (I Speedbuilt another computer to test the disc) and it didnt worked, so i would like to skip that if possible...

thanks.

You use dvi for 144 herz
?????????????
dvi is worse then HDMI.
u need a hdmi 1.4a or higher / a displayport cable for 144 herz.

To fix samp:
Go to task manager, end process gta_sa.exe
after that; go to my documents, and delete the folder GTA San Andreas user files.

that SHOULD fix it.

Use a DisplayPort (1.2+) cable instead.

i used HDMI, but i couldnt choose 144hz in windows, as soon as i changed to a DVI cable, it worked, that's the fucking weird thing, i know that HDMI would be better, thats why i bought that cable to begin with :S

completly missed this...sadly it didnt worked

DisplayPort can handle the 144hz connection, use a DP.

apparently my monitor doesn't have display-port, so in that case i guess HDMI is the way to go, or?

You bought a 144hz monitor and it doesn't have a displayport port?

seems like i did, i didnt cared about it, since when i bought it i planned to use DVI..

Acer GN276HL.. cant find anything about any displayport in the specs..it can be me thats incompetent aswell

If you'd use the DVI and dropped your Hz back to 60, is everything fixed?

What the hell. You do realise that DVI is basically the same as HDMI without the audio. Also DVI can get higher refresh rates than hdmi

that was not tested because the monitor was bought to be used as a 144hz, otherwise i would have a bought a 32 inch TV (because they are cheaper)

EDIT
the game is still crashing. hertz cant be changed becouse windows explorer stops to work if i am trying to enter advanced settings

close dxm.exe process in task

Upgrade to Windows 10, you're doing yourself and the world a favor.

i can choose 144 in windows now, samp works aswell (which is the main reason why i refused to upgrade until now, never fuck with systems that works)

Solved, thanks woot lol.
