New Asus 144Hz Monitor

This will change 3D gaming for sure, it will be a grreat improvement in that "strand" of monitor development.

120Hz is still the best for 2D gaming, can't see the jump to 144Hz impacting 2D gaming.

I guess I would consider one of these but the loss of desktop space would be a concern. I'd like to hope we'll oneday see 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 screens with 120hz. I think they would need to use displayport to achieve this for 3d but my card has displayport, even my current monitor has displayport so it must be possible.

They need something more advanced that DisplayPort 1.2 IIRC to handle the bandwidth. I could be wrong there though.

Its already happened, you just have to overclock korean monitors. So yes, 2560 x 1440 at 120hz is possible over DL-DVI, although it is not supported :)

Those monitors are interpolated if I'm not mistaken so overclocking it won't actually give the smoother appearance of a higher refresh rate, in the same way LG released a 120hz monitor but it wasn't "true" 120hz. DL-DVI defo exceeds the bandwidth limitations for that res at 120hz. DisplayPort 1.3 or 1.4 will be needed IMO.
 
chipachip - they are true 120hz monitors, achieved via overclocking. Only a specific model can be overclocked, on sale at a site I obviously can't name.

The DVI bandwidth is limited only by the cable itself, which seems to be around 130hz @ 2560x1440 on the better cables.

The DVI "standard" limits you to 85hz @ 2560x1440, but it is only a recommendation to prevent monitors killing graphics cards and vice versa.

I know, I was following the thread since it began. The 2B models can be OC'd but someone posted a picture of the PCB's and stuff explaining that the monitor displays frames the same way a 600hz tv does. It displays a 60hz frame ten times instead of actual 600hz. The thread is gone so I can't look for the post but if I'm wrong please link me to the evidence. Ty. :)
