Is there a way to change the screen refresh rate in Ubuntu?

So, I know this question has been asked before: "How do I change my refresh rate?"
I've browsed sereral forums ad nauseam, and the response is always to use xrandr (duh.)
When I run xrandr, I get the following:
daniel@ZaphodU:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 531mm x 299mm
1920x1080 60.0 + 144.0* 120.0 99.9 84.9
1680x1050 60.0
1440x900 59.9
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1280x960 60.0
1280x800 59.8
1280x720 60.0
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.0 70.1 60.0
800x600 75.0 72.2 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 59.9
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Everything looks good, but let's say I want to set my refresh rate to 120.0 Hz:
daniel@ZaphodU:~$ xrandr -s 1920x1080 -r 120.0
Rate 120.0 Hz not available for this size
What if I want to change to 60 Hz at 1280x1024?
daniel@ZaphodU:~$ xrandr -s 1280x1024 -r 60.0
Rate 60.0 Hz not available for this size
I've tried all of the resolution and refresh rates listed, and not a single one is available!
So how do I actually change my refresh rate? My monitor Asus VG248Q is capable of 50~144 Hz(V) according to the manufacturer's website. My graphics card is a Zotac GeForce GTX 970 4GB AMP! Extreme Core Edition. The two are connected via a DVI cable that was supplied with the monitor.
I dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Windows 10, and Windows has no problem running at 60 HZ, 100 HZ, 120 HZ, and 144Hz. There's even a simple interface for changing this setting.
So, is there a way to change the refresh rate in Ubuntu?

Hi @Jared G, maybe you should edit your answer and add some information on what the command does, what do you think?
