Aurora-R6, AW2518H, GTX 1070, no G-Sync?

I recently purchased an Aurora-R6 with a Nvidia GTX 1070 and the AW2518H monitor. I don't have the G-Sync option in my display settings. Also stuck at 60Hz.

Hi @codybrazil,

AW2518HB contains a G-SYNC module for gaming at high refresh rates. See the hardware requirements below to configure your G-SYNC monitor.

    4. System Requirement: Must support DisplayPort 1.2 directly from the GPU.
NOTE: Please visit NVIDIA official website to know whether your NVIDIA graphics card supports the G-SYNC feature.

How to enable G-SYNC on your PC
