Your Acer GN246HL doesn't show the 144Hz option in your display settings. Previously, with an RX570 and DVI-D connection via a DVI-D to HDMI cable, you could achieve 144Hz. After upgrading to a GTX 1660 Ti, which lacks both DP and DVI-D ports, you're trying a DP-to-HDMI cable but still can't reach 144Hz.
It doesn't support 144 over HDMI. A fresh display might be better. Switching to DP to DVI could work. Recent checks suggest it must be active, which is costly and may not function at 144Hz.
Uncertain about the budget for a new monitor at the moment. Discovered an active DP port to HDMI on Amazon and reviews mentioned success with 144Hz at 2560x1440 resolution. Link provided includes various adapters and converters.
DP to HDMI may struggle with high refresh rates. One model handles 1080p at 120Hz smoothly, but drops to 60Hz when switching to 1440p. DP to DVI works better, though I still face problems where the full rate isn’t achieved, possibly due to inactive cables. Directional cables add another layer of difficulty.
You didn't grasp which section of "It can't display 144 over HDMI" you were confused about. It referred to your monitor, and it became clear after searching the model details.
