Acer GD245HQ 120hz Issues

[Ross Higgins]

Bought myself this nice looking monitor that's meant to be able to get to 120hz no problem. I had a single link DVI cable and put it to 120hz and it came up blurry. I thought to myself, well I might have to get a dual link cable, which I have done and I'm still having the same issue. I'm running at 60hz 1080p at the moment and if i put the resolution over that, it just wont have it.
I've turned the overdrive setting off which most people seemed to have issues with and still no luck and i can't find any other solutions so any help would be much appreciated!

Can you post a link to the cable you bought? Just because it has all the pins doesn't always mean it is dual link. And not all GPU ports are Dual link.

What is your GPU?

What is your GPU?

Asus 760 and this: Startech DVI-D Dual Link

It should work, assuming the cable or monitor isn't defective. Do you have another GPU you could test it on?

Only a 550ti but it should be ok to test right?

It should, but make sure to try both ports. They often don't say if they support dual link or not, but it does support 3D Vision, which requires it.
