Hello everyone, I previously owned a 1080p/60Hz LG display and opted for an LG Ultragear 1440p/144Hz model. Right after the switch, I realized the monitor was set to 100Hz and any attempt to adjust it to 120Hz or 144Hz caused blurriness. I experimented with various cables—from HDMI 2.1 to DP 1.4—which all met the specs for a 1440p/144Hz setup. I also noticed that when I disconnected my 1080p/60Hz monitor, the new 1440p/144Hz display functioned flawlessly at 144Hz. I’ll share more details about my configuration later. CPU: i5-6600 GPU: Gigabyte RX480 4GB (G1 Gaming) RAM: 16GB OS: Windows 11. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ahead!

It seems the graphics card is struggling to render on both displays. I've dealt with RX 480 models before, but this issue hasn't occurred before. It might indicate it's time to switch to a more advanced GPU, as your card could be reaching the end of its lifespan. You'll know it's failing if it begins displaying artifacts or stops working entirely. If you have a solid budget for an upgrade, I've attached recommendations for both NVIDIA and AMD options.

Thank you for your assistance. I also want to note that the RX480 continues to function smoothly without any issues. I'm currently applying a stable OC on the card. I've also tried restoring clock speeds without any success. The 144Hz display must remain in the 100Hz range to avoid blurriness.

Activate the iGPU setting in the BIOS and link the 60Hz display to the motherboard.

Hello, I had previously attempted this action but it failed. I tried it once more when you asked, and it now functions perfectly. Appreciate your assistance!
