I have got a 144hz monitor for Christmas and recently I have bought an RX 470 from Sapphire and here is where it gets confusing.
The RX 470 has 3 DP outputs and 1 HDMI output. It came with a HDMI (Male) to DL-DVI-I (Female) adapter - Sorry if my terminology is wrong, I posted a link to a picture of different versions of DVI.
The 144hz Monitor (GN24HL6 from Acer) will only output 144hz when using DL-DVI-D.
If your confused what the problem is, I tried plugging the DL-DVI-D cable (came with monitor) into the adapter (I know it works because I used it before having the RX 470) and nothing would work. I am currently using HDMI from gpu to monitor and that works but only 60hz, The weird option about forcing refresh rates is blanked out so I am sure its a hardware confusion. I am currently questioning what the best way to work this out is,
Buying a HDMI (Male) to DL-DVI-D (Female) adapter and plugging into the gpu (I have bought a cheap one atm)
Plugging DL-DVI-D into the motherboard (Nothign happening atm but I think its because of the GPU settings)
Or any other ideas, I would really appreciate them!
Last thing, I am unsure which version of HDMI the Monitor uses or which version the GPU uses or even what version my current HDMI cable is (Not sure if I mentioned before but I use HDMI)
Thanks a bunch guys!
