I just got a new display (Samsung LC27JG50QQU, 1440p, 144hz) which is plugged into my AMD Radeon HD 6950 (DVI-D, DVI-I, HDMI 1.4, 2x Mini DisplayPort) graphics card using HDMI. However, it only lets me set 1080p max in my display settings. Cable and monitor were fine on 1440p with my MacBook Pro. I am running Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa This is the output xrandr gives:
