TOPIC: Need some help

I got a new 144hz monitor last year and I've never been able to use 144hz on the desktop without the screen glitching the fuck out, at 120hz it works fine on the desktop but these glitches only happen on the desktop. When in games 144hz works fine and yes I've googled this loads and have not found one answer to my problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

hard to explain but if i have a window or a program up and close it remnants of it will linger on the screen and flicker quite badly making the screen unusable but in games this never happens

nah say i close my browser and go to my desktop pieces of the browser will have stayed and they'll flicker really fast i dont think i can record it either using obs because i dont think it's the gpu causing it

What graphics card do you have?
What CPU do you have?

amd 390x
AMD FX 8370

144hz causes high amounts of power draw and temperature rises.

yeh i've noticed my cpu is hitting 80 degrees+ on games
but tbh wouldn't 120hz do the same and wouldnt it then happen ingame?

If your Motherboard has onboard graphics, turn off your PC and take out your GPU. Boot up without the Graphics Card and put the HDMI or whatever cable you're using into your Motherboard.
Boot into Windows and right click on your Desktop, go into Graphics Settings. It should tell you what Framerate your Monitor is running at, along with your resolution.

Let me know what happens and report back.

My mother board aint got an on board graphics

Also try reinstalling the drivers, seems like a driver issue to me or maybe a failing GPU(RMA it and get a new one(not AMD)), HDMI can't deliver 144 hz anyway fennster.

HDMI 2.0 tbh you dont seem to know what you're talking about i've already said i cant record what is happening on screen with a desktop recorder because it's not a gpu issue I'll record it with a phone or something when i can.

Imo you should RMA the Graphics Card and then while you're at it get a better CPU cooler, maybe liquid cooling.

literally just got the damn card but i'll probs upgrade from stock cpu cooler lol

And I know what I'm talking about, I was assumign you are at 4k.

pretty sure you cant get 144hz at 4k m8
