I've recently purchased the following from OCuk:

3 x Samsung S23A700D monitors
MSI R7970 GPU
2 x Startech MDP2DVID

I can't seem to get my monitors running at 120Hz. I'm a little lost as to what could be causing the issue. DXDIAG says that I'm running 5760 x 1080 (32 bit)(60Hz).

What should I / can I do to get them running at 120Hz?

Cheers

Yes, it is the Lightning 7970 I have. When I purchased it I was told that it would run the monitors at 120Hz if I used the mini DP to dual link adaptors.

The DVI cables from the monitors to the card? They came with the monitors. Are they not dual link then?

So in essence, I'd have to run all three monitors through Dual Link DP adaptors. Thanks for your help Surveyor.

Would you still take the Lightning back? It's been in my pc for a few months now...

Lol, yeah, I knew you don't work for OcUK, it was a kinda rhetorical question.

No matter, I'll just get another adaptor. I'll be passing OcUK during the week, so I can get one then.

Cheers for you help mate.

No, not yet. The way my system is wired up makes it a bit of a nightmare. My unit itself is at head height. It's a task and a half, but I'll do it tomorrow just to be sure.
