1440p 240hz Passthrough issues

Good afternoon,

I've just purchased the 4k Pro to be able to use my LG 27GR95QE-B 1440P 240hz monitor and capture gameplay using a 2 PC setup while playing in the passthrough mode. I'd like to preface all cables are HDMI 2.1 rated and I am using an RTX 4090 on the main PC.

Some issues I'm running into:

240hz only seems achievable with an "active resolution" of 4k and downscaling it to 1440p, resulting in a blurry image. The native 1440p EDID modes are limited to 144hz for some reason, and they look sharp and great, but it's not the 240hz I'm used to.

Am I doing something wrong here? I thought it would be as easy as plug-and-play passthrough and now I'm finding myself trying to figure out how to edit the EDID profiles provided in the Elgato Studio. Something somewhere is limiting the refresh rate and I'm not sure who the culprit is.

If anyone else has experienced something similar please help, lol.
