120hz with HDMI cable

You will need a DVI to displayport adapter, The screen was really made for AMD cards, which have displayports, I believe the 3D only works on AMD cards as well.
 
You would need a very specific DVI to DisplayPort adaptor to support 120Hz refresh rates at 1920 x 1080. It would need to be active and capable of the correct channeling - I know of one by a company Atlona but it costs an arm, a leg and a kidney. Most adaptors you see are DisplayPort or MiniDP to DVI and don't work the other way around.
 
If you have NVIDIA cards you may as well get a 3D Vision monitor instead of Samsung. At the price you're looking at just get this:

ok thanks for replies thought so.

This Asus HN274 http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-061-AC

Lists a DVI-D connection

But this samsung S27A950D http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-166-SA

Lists a Dual link DVI connection.

are both monitors capable of 120hz using a Dual link DVI cable?

Both monitors need Dual Link DVI which your cards support. Get the Asus I recommended. It's better than the older one. It uses 3D vision 2.

Thanks I missed that monitor off my last post and I think u have just made my mind up. Does it come with a dual link dvi cable?

When it comes I shall post a setup and review if anyone is interested.
 
If you don't have displayport then look at the 950 model which does 120hz over duel link DVI, I believe there is a 700D model coming out soon I think (or is out) though which is the same as the 750 but a different stand and is DVI not displayport
 
the Asus VG278H 27" is coming this morning, overclockers never fail to deliver. Will post back and let ppl know how it is :D cant wait

btw anyone thinking of ordering just ring up and ask for free delivery. I did and they obliged :D
 
It is within the theoretical bandwidth capabilities of the HDMI 1.4a port to support 120Hz at 1920 x 1080. Unfortunately the current ports on the GPU or AV device end simply don't support this, despite the cable and specification theoretically supporting it. What this boils down to is no Full HD 120Hz over HDMI. That is why TVs are limited to 60Hz actual refresh rate and need to use interpolation technologies to invent intermediate frames.
