Question regarding 144hz

[pipson]

Im thinking of getting http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-007-AO&groupid=17&catid=1851

with another 24inch (normal one) to achieve 144hz what kind of cable do I need? I understand HDMI does not support more than 60hz

A decent quality heavy gauge not too long Dual Link DVI-D Cable or Display port.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-066-OK&groupid=1929&catid=1754 or whatever length you need, I think that is reason OCUK got them in stock as peeps were not getting 120/144HZ with crappy cables.

thought a dvi cable was included?

 

[jh30uk]

He does not have it yet and the cables are sometimes thin crap or not even dual link and will not do 120+HZ.

The DVI cable included with the monitor is Dual-Link and works fine. DisplayPort on the other hand is never going to reach 144Hz on this monitor as its DP is oddly limited to 60Hz.
