You need to put your county in as well now for some reason, had the same issue a while back.

I have a 120hz Samsung monitor with only dvi and hdmi input. What are my options with this card as seems like a great deal?

As responded previously to your post, your Samsung S23A700 would need dual-link DVI in order to be able to get 120Hz at 1080p since the monitor doesn't not have support display port, and using HDMI would limit the refresh rate to 60Hz.

Ideally you would want a graphic card that support dual-link DVI natively, but if you were to get this card (which does not have dual-link DVI), you'd probably have to get a adaptor for converting from display port to dual-link DVI. But the issue is those adaptor are not cheap (don't make the mistake of getting regular display port to (single-link) DVI adaptor, as those would still be limiting the refresh rate to 60Hz same as HDMI), and nobody knows how good and problem free be with using those adaptor until you actually use it for yourself.

Appologies, I didn't want to be one of those guys, jumping from post to post, asking the same questions and being a bit of a tyre kicker. I was scrambling for ansers to try and buy, as I have a rare few days off together and was hoping to buy a card for the weekend.

Thus far I am stuck on vakue and price point.
I see that Palit do a 2060 with what I need however quite expensive at £338.99 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pali...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-04m-pl.html

Vega 56 Asus do one at £359.99 but thats some £80+ mark up over the Sapphire

Or drop down to a RX580 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapp...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-37m-sp.html
This is £218.99 for the Sapphire Nitro

I asked in chat and was told that the Powercooler one at £179.99 didn't come with the free games. As I want the Division 2 the Sapphire Nitro is the only one that states free games.

I know Youtube and comparing on forums etc takes time so was looking for a quick answer on what other like-minded folk thought may be best option for me?
It's shame about the prices for the connection I need.

If I get the Rx580, thats not far off the price of the basic vega 56, so I wonder if it would be a silly buy based on that?
It's a shame monitors cost so much as if I start looking at that I lean towards a new build and increased costs again.
Sorry for all the confusion. Been some long nights and hard to think what best option is!?

....Thoughts people!?
 
Managed to get one ordered, wont be able to install in until next Wednesday as ordering a full build inc monitor and waiting for parts to come into stock which is a shame

Is there a decent guide on undervolting anywhere? I dont want to OC, just undervolt to get a higher boost clock
