I can't display 120 hz on both monitors?

[Joachim_3]

Hey!

I just bought my second BenQ XL2420T - using it with my GTX970 Reference Card.

The problem is, that I can't figure out how to get both run 120 hz. I can only do this by enabling Nvidia Surround which makes my monitor go 3840x1080, which I am not interested in.

Both monitors only run 60 hz at this moment. Any solutions?

Oh btw, I am using a DVI cable on one monitor and a DisplayPort on a second monitor. Does that have anything to do with it?

I am out of ideas.

DVI single link only carries 60Hz. If you dont have a dual-link DVI output, you could try a HDMI-DVI adapter but you cant be certain it'd work.

You should be able to set the DP output to 120Hz though in Nvidia Control Panel or Windows Display Settings.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I figured out that I can get 120 hz on both of my monitors but only if I use NVIDIA's option "Surround" - but that makes my resolution go from 1920x1080 to 3840x1080.

I can also get 120 hz just by having one of the monitor turned on (both the DVI or DisplayPort, doesn't matter which one).

But somehow I am not able to get the 120 hz "extended" to both monitors.

Ok well you must have a DL DVI output. I think all 970's do anyway.

What does it say in Nvidia Control Panel under resolutions? Can't you just change it to the right res? (Right click desktop to access Nvidia CP)
