I just upgraded from a dying 3060 Ti to a 9070 XT, and I'm having issues with my refresh rate settings. With my old Nvidia setup, it was super easy to change the refresh rate in Windows, but now that I'm using the Radeon, I can only see options for 60Hz and 75Hz. I'm using the same DisplayPort cable as before. Does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this? I reinstalled Windows after switching systems and made sure to install the AMD Adrenalin drivers afterward.

It might be helpful to ensure your Windows and AMD drivers are fully up to date. When you set the refresh rate, also confirm you're choosing the monitor's native resolution. If that still doesn't work, try setting a custom resolution in the AMD Adrenalin display settings for the refresh rate your monitor can handle.
I would suggest running through all your connections and settings again. Make sure you’re plugged into the GPU directly and not the motherboard. Also, try reseating the graphics card and testing different cables if you have them handy. Sometimes a bad connection can mess with the refresh options!
Just to double-check, did you install the AMD drivers properly? Make sure you fully uninstalled the Nvidia drivers as they can interfere with the new setup. Also, you should be using DisplayPort 1.2 or higher; that can sometimes cause refresh rate issues too!
I did reinstall my whole OS, so I expected everything to be fresh.
Check what type of DisplayPort or HDMI connection your monitor supports. Sometimes, a monitor might be capable of a 240Hz refresh rate, but the port or cable used can limit it. Using quality, updated cables can really make a difference!
Have you tried using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove the Nvidia drivers completely before installing the AMD drivers? That could solve some issues. If you haven't done that, I recommend giving it a shot and then reinstalling the Radeon drivers!
I did reinstall the whole OS, so I thought that would have taken care of it.
I've tried three different cables and reseated everything, but it still shows the same issue. Any driver version suggestions?
