only have 3d settings in nvidia control panel

The Witcher 3, Borderlands 2, Portal 2, & Far Cry 3 are all games that I know worked in the past, but that now require me to change the desktop settings to get them to go to 144hz. All of my games are behaving as if its always set at ' Application-Controlled.' Most games will ONLY run at 144hz if the global desktop refresh rate has been set to 144hz beforehand. This was very useful to me as I prefer to have my secondary monitor (which is 60hz) match my main monitor when I'm just doing productivity work. Of course, there were always a couple of games that ignored what the NVCP told them to do, but these games were definitely in the minority.īut, as of recently, it seems as if this ' Highest Available' option just isn't doing anything at all. In the past, the 'Preferred Refresh Rate' setting in the Nvidia Control Panel - if put on ' Highest Available' - would override whatever the currently running game's default refresh rate was and force it up the monitor's max of 144hz.

I've had a high refresh rate display for a little while now (the AOC G246PG).
