Samsung Oddesy G3 capped at 120hz in windows settings

[Puengy]

I bought a oddesy g3 and used a HDMI cable at first which was capped at 120hz which I thought was just because of the cable but when I got a DisplayPort my monitor was still capped at 120hz and when I go to windows settings>advanced display settings there is no option to go above 120hz.

What im trying to say is that there is no option to go over 120hz in windows but my monitor can go to 165hz

does your PC support 165hz? maybe its not the monitor, but infact the PC.

What kind of pc wouldn't be able to support it? I have a fairly new gaming laptop which has an internal 144hz monitor so it should at least show me the option for 144hz

Does the cable your using to link them both support 165hz?

Pretty sure it does I just checked the amazon listing and it supports 1080p at 165hz so I don't think the issue is the cable
