Ive got a gtx 760 running the rog swift at 120hz no problem. I tried to go up to 144hz but the option isnt there in the nvidia control panel. in win 7 options in the advanced settings I can choose 144hz, but every time i choose it it drops the color down to 256 colors, trying to change it back manually to 32 bit does nothing.

Weird thing is, when i bouught this monitor i diddnt have a displayport gpu because i was waiting on the 980s to come out. So i took the monitor up to work and hooked it up to a gxt 760 and was able to get 144hz just fine, and switch between 60 120 and 144 on the fly with no problem. Downloaded the newest bioshock and played with gsync, 144hz, 1440p.

I have a more powerful machine than he does, I cant understand whats going on.

Im running
i7 5930k Haswell-E
Rampage V Extreme
16GB Corsair DDR4


whats going on?!?
