Ah right, I have read about that, just forgot. Man HDMI is such a mess. Use Display Port whenever you can and don't buy a monitor without one ever again.

    The 9070 XT supports HDMI 2.1b, and unfortunately my Sapphire NITRO+ has two of them and two DisplayPorts. None of my three monitors support HDMI 2.0 or 2.1, so one of them is stuck at 60 Hz right now, and I'm pretty annoyed about it.

    Did you make sure its not an issue with the cable? Because the cables need to support the "correct" version and features of HDMI too, not just the GPU and monitor connections and the driver. Man typing that out makes me dizzy.

    I've checked it, just to be sure, it's definitely a 2.1 cable, but unfortunately the cable doesn't matter in this case. My monitors are good, but they're older. HDMI 2.0/2.1 wasn't around back then. I get good refresh rates over DisplayPort (I believe they have DP 1.4), and my RX 6800 XT had three of those, so I just naively assumed a 9070 XT would as well.
