Looking for some help in deciding what cable(s) to use. I am runing a GTX 670 card that has DVI-I and DVI-D . My monitors are BenQ XL2420T and a Viewsonic Vx2250 and is DVI-Digital. These two monitors are hooked up to the same 670 card . Both monitors are 1920x1080 . Question is :

Which would be the best route to take to obtain 120 hrtz that the BenQ is native for ? I play World of Warcraft , and it has the option in game settings to run at 120 hrtz.

I'd lik to be able to achieve this . Also for the Vx2250 which would be the better route to take cable wise to achieve the best performance ? According to specifications this monitor is 75 hrtz, but Nvidia reports it as being 60hrtz.

I also have aother computer with a 570 in it and am runing a Vx2233wm that is DVI-D, but the card has 2 dvi -dl prts on it .WHich would be the better route to take to achieve the best performance and visualization possible for this monitor ?

Any help offered would be most appreciated .

For greater than 1920x1080 @ 60Hz you need to use either DL-DVI or DP/miniDP. The biggest difference between DL-DVI and DP/miniDP is that DL-DVI can not carry sound.

Any dual link cable then would be able to produce 120 hrtz ?

I would just get a DisplayPort cable and be done with it. Most DP cables can carry a 120Hz signal, DP is what replaced DVI.

Theres no display port on the Benq monitor. Would there be a perfomance difference to use a cable that does or doesnt support sound ? Which cable actualy supports 120 hrtz ?

Thank you. Monitor did come with one, but my nephew decided to "borrow" it .So now I've been trying to do my homework and figure out the best way to go on a maturing rig . Looked up my benq it does supprt DP 1.2 but not sure if my 670 supports dp 1.2 now. Even though it has a dp on card.
