Hi! Today I bought the Samsung S23A750D 3D 23'' monitor. Biggest reason for this was the 120hz.
The monitor only has a HDMI and DisplayPort connection. I thought my Ati Radeon 6870 had DisplayPort, but this appeared to be a DisplayPort mini. Since I had no DisplayPort to DisplayPort mini or DVI convertor I hooked it up with a HDMI cable.
Problem: I can't select 120hz in windows settings or in the Ati drivers.
I also tried hooking it up to my Laptop, which has an Nvidia GPU. The Nvidia drivers have a force custom resolution option, so I forced 1080p@120hz, but this only gave a black screen. (also used an HDMI cable)
So my question is essentially; Is it possible to get 1080p@120hz over HDMI? and if so, how do I do it? Or do I need to get a DisplayPort to DisplayPort mini convertor?
