Describe the bug
I have two display profiles, a Default (4x Individual screens) and a triple screen profile(3xscreens in NVidia surround and 1xscreen as a second screen). Switching between profiles works perfectly apart from one thing.
When switching to my 3 x surround and 1 x second screen the 3 x surround screens always, correctly, default to the 165hz refresh rate (as it was set up). However, no matter how I set the default profile up, the 3 x screens always default back to 60hz.
To Reproduce
In order to reproduce, you must have 3xscreens that run at an alternate refresh rate to 60hz, preferably 165hz monitors.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Open DisplayMagician
- Delete the default profile (3 x single screen profile)
- Close DisplayMagician
- Open NVidia control panel
- Click on Change resolution
- Change the refresh rate for each of the monitors to, in my case, 165hz and click apply
- Click yes, at the "Apply Settings" dialogue box
- Open DisplayMagician
- Click on "DisplayProfiles"
- Click on "View Current Display"
- Save current display as "Default" or whatever name you choose
- Select the triple screen (NVidia Surround) profile
- Click "Apply"
- Check monitors are running at the 165Hz refresh rate (Mine do, so all good up to this point)
- In the, still open, DisplayMagician - Display Profiles page, select the "Default" profile
- Click "Apply"
- Monitors are now running at a 60Hz refresh rate
Expected behaviour
When setting up the profile the profile should remember the refresh rate set in the NVidia Control Panel setting, in my case, always 165Hz.

Additional context
This is the first time I have noticed this issue, else would have reported it a lot earlier. I could never figure out why, when enabling vsync, my frames ended up being capped at 60fps and with vsync turned off, the fps was well over 165fps (single screen FPS games). I decided to do a lot of testing and found the above.
Please do let me know if there is any further info you'd like, I'd be more than happy to provide it.
Hopefully, this is an easy fix as I am absolutely loving DisplayMagician.
