You installed the monitor Driver right from the Disc ?

Try a custom Resolution look above at first post 'tips and tricks' number 3... make resolution with automatic timing.

And again make sure you installed the monitor driver. (not just GPU driver).

I stated in FAQ that it would work Displayport to DVI-D. This is DisplayPort as source from a GPU to DVI-D link on Monitor. GPU is a Source and Monitors never are a Source.
I will change the FAQ to be more understandable.

Yup, I see that you rewrote it so it's a lot easier to understand. Anyway, still waiting for my new GTX580 to arrive. Here's a shot of the screen.

Yes I installed the DVI screen driver from the provided CD.
I have the latest nvidia drivers.

This is the cable I'm using

I'm currently trying another DVI cable that I have that looks the same as this one(DUAL LINK DVI) and its the same issue. The screen reports a resolution of 960x1080 120hz and windows says 1920x1080 @ 120hz

Thanks. I been adding to this thread, note the tips and tricks section. I hope to sit down sometime this weekend and format the OP with a owners list and more organized sections like with color and italic text. To clean up and make it more presentable.

sorry don't know if thats a good price R79.00 ? not sure what currancy it is you should be paying more than $10 US for a cable like that but yes it is the right cable anything that says Dual Link DVI-D. whoever put that other cable it your box must have done it at the store. That should not be the cable for that monitor

Zoom in this shot. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageG...0LCD%20Monitor

Whoever sold it too you should send you a free cable.

The strange thing is, my mate has the same screen as me and he checked his cable now and its the same as the one I posted in the pic. He get's 120hz 1920x1080 np. Could it be because he's running an ATi card and mines nvidia?

R79 is just below $10.

You can't with the picture posted. No you should have him check is OSD and make sure he really is on 120hz or he doesn't realize he has more pins. and just assumes its the same. It should be a impossibility to do it without those extra pins so I would say your friend is wrong to say he has the cable pictured and have 120hz.

I asked him to check again and he insists it's exactly the same as mine. He's running 120hz 1920x1080. Oh well I guess I'll order that cable tomorrow. I doubt it's readily available at any retail PC store, first time I've seen a cable like that
