Problems setting monitor refresh rate to 144hz

[lukeh10]

I'm Having trouble setting my monitor's refresh rate to 144.00 with xrandr.

I am able to set it to 120hz but when I try 144hz my monitor goes black and says "out of range".
I dual boot windows and 144hz works on there. I don't know if this is a driver issue or what.

Here is my system info:

xrandr gives:

I've tried xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --mode 2560x1440 --rate 144.00
and searched the internet for help, but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate any help.

Use this command and post the output: xrandr --verbose

What is the brand and model number of the monitor?
