Well, you got good advice from me. You should compare NVIDIA and AMD like I suggested or you'll end up missing out, but hey. Once again, high frame rate above refresh with FastSync is a lot better than adaptive sync of either brand, but you don't seem to wanna listen, so whatever.

You're going to be very with your 480 bro

I know i am

His choice, which he has stated before, multiple times. What you (and others) are doing is equal to telling him to buy a Ford Mustang when he stated he wants a Chevy Camaro, has already bought stuff for what he wants, and then disagree with other users offering actual assistance with his choices. I respect you, but its time to move on from this thread if you aren't able to offer the assistance needed.

The guy is happy he fixed his issue, the card he chose makes him happy, so that's all that matters.

You have to use the DisplayPort cable, other wise you´re going to be capped at 60hz... sorry for my very bad english!

He already fixed it.

This is getting tiresome and you're going round in circles after losing the argument, but here goes one more time.

First of all, that's not from the monitor manual, is it? Where did you get it from? Not saying it's wrong, just wondering where it's from.

Also, it doesn't prove that the monitor can't do 144Hz 1080p on the DVI port, just that it tops out at 75Hz for 1440p on the DVI port.

Also, Ford pointed out that the refresh rate on the DVI port is limited on the 7970 so can't reach 144Hz at 1080p which you seem to have conveniently missed, even though I flagged you in my post where I quoted him. So no, it can't exceed the monitor's capability using that port:

Again, I suspected a limitation on the graphics card from the very first post and I was right. I later said that this was improved on in later AMD cards. This seems to be what's sparked the whole thing off with you, but I don't understand why you have such a problem with me being right about this point.

The evidence is all there, so admit you were wrong and move on for fuck's sake.

Same place I been getting all the info ACER you should try it sometime. I know a few clicks and typing out the name of the monitor is a lot to do for people who cant be bothered finding out thing on their own. Its right next to the manual you've been avoiding.



"24.0-99.0,50.0-75.0,+,+" <- Is port freq range and not exclusive to a resolution. DVI on this monitor is 75 max. Not max 75 for 1440 as you suggest. To find out what the supported rez/hz you look at the TT either provided by the manufacturer or read the EDID of the monitor itself. Acer provides a TT in their manual.
