DVI-D Dual link 24pin

[heuritisk]

Hi guys,

I just buyed a new samsung http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=640589#extra with a 1 x DVI-D (digital) - 24-pin digital DVI

connection: am using a single link Dvi-d with lower pin since they did not inclucded a 24 dual link with the monitor.

My question is after reading 1 x DVI-D (digital) - 24-pin digital DVI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface


Example display modes (dual link):

QXGA (2,048 × 1,536) @ 75 Hz with GTF blanking (2 × 170 MHz)
HDTV (1,920 × 1,080) @ 85 Hz with GTF blanking (2 × 126 MHz)
WUXGA (1,920 × 1,200) @ 120 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 x 154 MHz)
WQXGA (2,560 × 1,600) @ 60 Hz with GTF blanking (2 × 174 MHz) (30-inch / 762 mm Apple, Dell, Gateway, HP, NEC, Quinux, and Samsung LCDs)
WQXGA (2,560 × 1,600) @ 60 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 × 135 MHz) (30-inch / 762 mm Apple, Dell, Gateway, HP, NEC, Quinux, and Samsung LCDs)
WQXGA (2,560 × 1,600) @ 60 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (269 MHz) (This is for high end monitors when operating at greater than 24 bits per pixel.)
WQUXGA (3,840 × 2,400) @ 33 Hz with GTF blanking (2 × 159 MHz)


Question: Am currently only doing 60 hz on 1,920 × 1,080 with my single link kabel... If i buy a dual link 24 pin dvi-d kabel will i be able to do more hz? i have a 6850 oc v. card.

Unfortunately, no. The monitor is still limited to 60hz at 1080p regardless of it's cable connection options.

EDIT: I did make an assumption here, as it did not say it's max refresh rates, but without it being specified and the fact that 120hz monitors almost always have a 2ms response time, I cannot imagine there being any other possibility.

Thanks for the answer, i was hoping someone knew the answer. neither less. i just odre a kabel, since it was cheap online. so am hoping i can turn it to more hz, or atleast the quality is going to be better?

@ bystander, i have 2 ms 1080P monitor and still 60 Hz, i guess the fact that most 120 Hz are 3D monitors not the regular LCDs.

@OP, a single link DVI-D cable or a dual link DVI-I cable will still provide the maximum resolution for your monitor (1080P) so no need to be worried.

Your monitor will operate @ 60 Hz by default when you set the native resolution (1920 x 1080)

Also you might consider HDMI cable, but as long as i believed there's no difference in quality as the HDMI benefit is the built in HD Audio.

I wasn't saying that only 120hz monitors are 2ms, but that almost all 120hz monitors are 2ms. Slower response screens aren't able to keep up with the refresh rates.
