Horizontal ghosting with Benq XL2410T in 120Hz mode

Hi There

I thought I might ask the help from the generous OCUK community! my setup is as follows:

Monitor: Benq XL2410T
GFX: Palit GTX 560Ti Sonic
Cabling: DVI-D Dual-Link
3D Kit: Nvidia 3D Vision 2

I have bought the monitor and the GFX like a year ago (March 2011) and I have decided to try out the 3D capabilities, to my surprise I was totally shocked with the horrible picture in while gaming which seemed to half my horizontal resolution although I was still in Full HD mode.

I have nearly gave up the idea of having 3D (I thought there is an issue with my GFX or cable) but I thought you guys might be of help to try find out why am I having this issue, maybe the monitor is faulty in 120Hz mode ?
Include are pictures (made with my camera) which show both settings 60,120Hz.

120 Hz

60Hz

Cheers
Damian :confused:

Most similar issues are caused by a bad cable or using the wrong cable (you need a dual-link, which should have been provided with monitor).

I have lost the original cable, therefore I bought this one for £3.82 which is causing that.
Shall I go and buy a "better cable"

posting those links/prices is against the rules.

Here's a cable that works:

Hi whyscotty & OptimaLnrg

Thanks for helping and to point out the rules, I had a look at OCUK shop and I will postpone the purchase a bit because I found this little gem : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-001-OP (Watercooled Nvidia GTX 670, so I think I will sell my existing card and get that one, but I think I would need a radiator and hoses and other stuff, hope this will improve the Crysis warhead experience.
