What is the maximum refresh rate for an AOC 2460G5?

[bolt853]

The title pretty much says it all, what's the maximum refresh rate I can achieve with my monitor and my EVGA Geforce GTX960 FTW ACX2.0+ 4GB GDDR5 PCI-E3.0? Also, what is the right cable to maximize it?

Thanks.

I can't find that specific model, could you send a link?

Hmm, it seems non existent on the AOC website and I don't know why. All I know is that its capped at 60 hz.

I'm using a VGA cable

It's probably a 60hz monitor. How much did you pay for it? It's weird but there are no 144/120hz monitors under $180 if your In the U.S. Or is it used/ laying around?

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

Oh, and check the back of your monitor, it might say.

 

[bolt853]

I found its a E2460S

 

[AUnlikelyPotatoe]

yup, its 60hz.

 

[bolt853]

Well what's the highest I can achieve?

there may be some monitor overclocking thing, but you would have to use hdmi (only some hdmi versions work with over 60hz), dvi, or display port

To achieve higher than 60 Hz you will need DVI-D DL or DP. HDMI and VGA won't work at anything above 60 Hz natively. The 120 Hz spec for HDMI 1.4(a) is referring to 3D frame packing, which is exclusive to HDMI, and it means 60 Hz to each eye. 2D is still 60 Hz.

Thanks! I'm going to get a DVI D cable. Question though, can a DVI D cable fit in a DVI I slot? My graphics card only has a DVI I slot while my monitor has DVI D.

Yes it will fit. However, DVI-I won't fit in a DVI-D slot.
