Multi Monitor confusion

Arcane · 19 Dec 2012 at 09:40

I'm thinking of adding a Benq XL2411T to accompany my 27" Hazro. The Hazro only has dual Link DVI to connect to the graphics card so I have to use that. The Benq has D-sub, dual Link DVI and HDMI x 1. I'm running evga 670 FTW SLI which has DVI-I, dual Link DVI, HDMI and Display-Port.

So, as the Dual Link DVI is being used that leaves me with the hdmi as the common connection. My question is; Can I still use 144hz and 3d Vision 2 via the hdmi or do I need some sort of convertor?

Thanks.

Thanks. How do you connect yours? Has the XL2420T got a different sets of inputs to the XL2411T?

Looking around it seems I can get 120hz/3D through the displayport on the 2420, so it seems an option that'd work, it's more expensive though.

Thanks.

Someone just told me I can just use the single Link DVI connector on the card and it will work properly if I use the right Dual Link cable, does that sound right? Looking on the wiki page it seems as though it would physically fit.

Great, so I should be good to go then with the Hazro and Benq both connected via DVI to the top card?
