I just recently got my hands on the Asus G751jt with a 970m, 4710hq, and a 1080p IPS display that I discovered does 100Hz!

Though when I run games (so far only tested CS:GO & MGSV) and enable v-sync they run at 60fps.

Now I also have had this problem with my QX2710 PLS monitor. The remedy there was to install a monitor driver in the device manager, so that the monitor in the NVIDIA control panel doesn't read 'Generic PnP Monitor', it then read 'QX2710'.

I've tried to find a driver for this monitor but couldn't find one on the ASUS website.

In the Device Manager under Monitors it reads 'Generic PnP Monitor', but in the NVIDIA control panel, it reads 'Laptop Display'. I tried to install an ASUS ROG monitor driver, when I did that the model of the display was shown under Monitors in the Device Manager, but it still read 'Laptop Display' in NVIDIA control panel.

I think the answer lies there somewhere but I've come up short.

Please help!
 
in a game where you can specify the refresh rate in the graphics settings, is 100 Hz available? do you have 'preferred refresh rate' in the nvidia control panel set to highest available? also, did you verify that it's not dropping frames via the frame skipping checker on testufo.com?

I have CS:GO running at 300fps, but my monitors refresh rate is definitely locked to 60Hz in game. I am 100% sure my monitor runs at 100Hz on the desktop. Just for fun I tried setting the preferred refresh rate to the highest available in nvidia inspector and it changed nothing.

try -freq 100.
 
Try creating a custom 1920x1079@100Hz resolution.
You lose one row of pixels, but when you select that, you know that you're definitely getting 100Hz.
I had to do this for certain games (e.g. Crysis 3) which would automatically select 1080p24 rather than 1080p60 on my TV.

Hopefully the LCD won't attempt to scale that 1079p to 1080p, which would destroy the picture quality.
 
Don't use nVidia's built in 'custom resolutions', Use the program CRU (custom resolution utility) to add the refresh rates you want.


I had a lot of headaches overclocking my laptops display and eventually figured out that it was with how nVidia handles the custom resolutions. The desktop was running at 120hz, but when launching a game, the screen would go black until I Alt+f4'd out of it. When I used CRU, all the issues that I was having went away as the driver thinks those resolutions/refresh rates are native.

Keep the timing section set to 1080p, just reduce the display mode to 1079.
Then it will output a 1080p signal but only render 1079 lines.

I'll be damn just simply using CRU instead of nVidia control panel did it. Thanks guys!!!
