Today i bought a BENQ XL2411Z 144HZ monitor, however when i plug it in and try to change it to 144hz in the screen resolution page, the max it will go is 60hz. I'm using a dual link DVI D cable (provided with the monitor) to connect to my graphics card (Radeon HD 6870). Is it because im plugging it into a dual link DVI I slot?
I've been searching around for hours trying to look for a solution and people have been saying most Radeon cards only have one slot that supports dual link DVI. I tried switching slots however, when i try the other slot, my monitor says that its not detecting any signal..
Could it also be because the driver's aren't correctly installed? I inserted the CD provided with the monitor and went to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > BenQ XL2411Z > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver... and selected XL2411Z in the drivers folder in the CD. However when i go to Control Panel > Windows Update > View update history. I don't see the anything related to BENQ installed..
Also when i open up catalyst control center, it says that the maximum reported refresh rate my monitor has is 120Hz.
Will i have to buy a display port cable? If so which one because my graphics card only has 2 mini display port slots, and also my monitor only supports HDMI, VGA, and DVI
EDIT: Btw when i try switching ports and restarting my computer, my BENQ monitor displays the startup screen (The screen of your motherboard manufacture), and also the "windows is starting up" screen. Once i get to the screen where i have to enter my password, my monitor says "No signal is detected"
