| 1465030 | 2019-11-20 00:12:00 | I have a 27'' 1920x1080 144Hz monitor Asus VG278HV I bought a new graphics card Asus RTX2080s New card dosent have DVI-D which is required to run this monitor at 144Hz So now restricted to 60Hz using DP to DVI-D adaptor. It will stretch to 120Hz but it dosent like it. Every time I start the system, I get the warning message, "Use correct cable. Please use the duel link DVI-D cable that came with your monitor" Well I am using that cable, but through a adapter at the GPU end. I dont really want to fork out a grand for a new monitor. Anyone know a way around this ? Thanks |

| 1465031 | 2019-11-20 00:25:00 | Would this work www.pbtech.co.nz According to the support page www.asus.com the HDMI ports can do it and the connector looks like a dual link DVI in the picture. display port can do it too of course, but the adapters are a lot more confusing with active/passive/single link/dual link options. I note the Asus support page only lists DVI-D as good up to 120hz |

| 1465032 | 2019-11-20 00:52:00 | Might be worth a go. Currently have one of these www.dynamix.co.nz Was quite happy at 144Hz on previous GPU, but that had DVI-D. |

| 1465033 | 2019-11-20 02:16:00 | This is another way around the problem www.pbtech.co.nz | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1465034 | 2019-11-20 03:00:00 | Expensive solution. I was thinking a passive cable might work better if it just passes though the signal and both ends are capable of 144hz, the 120hz limit might be the active adapters fault is what I'm thinking. But then I'm not sure when you need an active adapter and when you can just use passive. I have stuck to 60 & 75 hz myself so far so this hasn't come up. I wish they'd stuck to one universal standard, when HDMI became a thing I embraced it, same cable for my TV, PC, PS3, Monitor, great! Now I have 2 monitors with display port and no HDMI, one using DVI-D, and my TV still on HDMI so 3 different cables again. Feels like we are going backwards. |

| 1465036 | 2019-11-22 04:08:00 | Meh, just settle for 60Hz like the rest of the human race. Most of the selling points for higher rates are just pushing pseudo science anyway. |

| 1465037 | 2019-11-22 04:58:00 | Looking at the manual 100Hz + is only supported on the Dual-link DVI-D input. I found this video (www.youtube.com) which is a review of the Asus VG278HE and the guy Linus says that if you want to use 144Hz, it can only be done on the Dual-link DVI input. Not the news you want to hear I supposed but Caveat Emptor I guess... |

| 1465039 | 2019-12-02 02:46:00 | Driftwood.hi Here is a link to the video that chiefnz mentioned. www.bing.com At the 5 minute 20 second Linus speaks of getting the 144Hz and having to 'overclosk' the engine inside the monitor to get it to process pixels faster. |
