144 Hz monitor and LGP Lite Capture Card?

[feefeffe]

Hey, I have an AMD 280X and I have a 144 Hz monitor connected to it through DVI. I also have a capture card connected to it with HDMI.

I am duplicating the signal from the GPU to the monitor/capture card but it seems like I cannot get my 144 Hz to display in anything else than 60 Hz. If I change the main display to 144 Hz, it will run in 144 Hz but the resolution will be completely fucked up.

Yes, the capture card is being recognized but I can't get my graphics card to send a signal to it.

I am of slight confusion and should have asked this before, how come your now just using HDMI-HDMI?

The adapter sounds to be passive. No matter what, DP to HDMI adapters work when active.

I can connect the capture card by using HDMI-HDMI but it will not work since my GPU doesn't seem to support three monitors/devices at the same time without using one active adapter...

Understood. Now, I would get an active adapter (DP-DVI) and use it for one of the monitors, then use the HDMI-HDMI for the card (most logical solution, I also do not place bets that the capture card likes being used with adapters). I would advise you return that adapter, does not sound to be active. Buy a certified active adapter from the internet.

My monitors are DVI so I would like to use the two DVI ports on my GPU for my two monitors, and then an active DP->HDMI adapter for the capture card. I mean it's a digital signal and I've seen other people use the capture card with adapters before.

That's perfectly fine. Make sure you check it is active and reviews state it is, on your next purchase. An Adapter should work fine, I just hope the next one you get works (it has to, there is nothing wrong with the configuration).

Before I buy an active DP->HDMI adapter, are you sure it will work without limiting my main monitor (144 Hz) to 60 Hz?

buy a DP splitter & HDMI adapter... one to the monitor 144hz one to the adapter -> capture device. I'm not sure sound will go through a DP to HDMI adapter but in theory it should. or dual link DVI splitter to HDMI adapter->capture device. but you will not get sound through that.
