So I'm thinking of buying this :

From elsewhere as out of stock on OCUK, I am confused to which cable I will need connecting the GPU to the monitor as I've read HDMI doesn't get you the full 144hz which is what I usually use.

I have a 7970 GPU, what cable would I need?

Cheers!

Maximum Resolution: 1920 x 1080@144 Hz (DVI Port)

Just use the supplied DVI-D cable to get 144hz

Personally i would not touch acer been bitten by them in the past.

I would recommend this

Probably going to get this one mate as it's a little more in budget and seems to have great reviews.

I still keep seeing conflicting comments, some are saying use a display port and some a Dual DVI?

You can use either mate there is no difference in picture quality just use the supplied display port cable

Cheers mate. So it's been delivered and I've only just realised my 7970 only has mini display ports, can someone point me in the direction of the cable I will need? Is it mini display to normal display port or? The monitor only came with a standard display port.
