Hey fellow tech enthusiasts,
I'm reaching out to the community to discuss a peculiar compatibility issue I've been facing lately. It seems there's a problem when connecting a
165Hz monitor to a rack server, and I'm hoping to get some insights and potential solutions from you all.
Here's the setup I have:
Rack Server: [

Monitor: [window 10]
The problem I'm encountering is that when I try to connect the 165Hz monitor to the rack server, I'm unable to get it to display at its native refresh rate. Instead, the monitor seems to be stuck at a lower refresh rate, which is not ideal, especially for tasks that require smooth motion like gaming or video editing.
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:
Verified that the monitor is capable of running at 165Hz when connected to other devices.
Checked the server's graphics card or integrated graphics capabilities to see if it supports high refresh rates, but couldn't find any specific information on this issue in the server documentation.
Updated the graphics drivers on the server to the latest versions, but still no improvement.
Experimented with different cables and adapters to connect the monitor, but the problem persists.
I'm wondering if there could be some limitations on the server's end that prevent it from supporting the 165Hz refresh rate, or if there's something else I might be missing. Has anyone else faced a similar issue or found a solution to this problem?
If you have any ideas, insights, or experience with rack servers and high-refresh-rate monitors, please share your thoughts. I'd love to hear from anyone who has successfully connected a high-refresh-rate monitor to a rack server or who might have some tips on how to troubleshoot and resolve this compatibility hiccup.
Thanks in advance for your help! Let's work together to get to the bottom of this and help others who might encounter the same issue.
Regards,
Stella
