lowering refresh rate on asus rog laptop?

hello, Id like to lower the refresh rate on my monitor from 75hz to 60hz in order to play a game that will not launch on any other settings (according to solutions Ive found online). The game is resident evil 4 on steam.

Ive tried all the fixes suggested around the internet and the only one left is lowering the refresh rate from 75hz to 60. Problem is that the only refresh rate option on the monitor settings and the nvidia settings of my laptop is 75hz. cant raise it or lower it.

Is there a different way of lowering this setting to 60hz?

    Obviously;y Starrysky does not know what refresh rate is.

    Refresh rate is the rate that the monitor refreshes the information on the screen. It is integral in the monitor.

    This was necessary in the days of CRT monitors that needed refreshing to maintain the information on the screen if it was not being updated. There is a remote possibility it may interfere with you frame rate but very doubtful. If your monitor is only 75Hz then that is all you can get. 60Hz is popular because it easier to design the refresh rate around the mains 60 Cycles/sec .
