  1. Hi all. I've ordered myself a new Monitor from Amazon. It's a 1080p 27inch 144hz Asus brand Monitor which has a Dual-Link DVI-D that I want to use to get that full 144hz @ 1080p. However, my graphics card has its Dual-Link DVI-I port. I know Dual-Link DVI-I cables aren't compatible with Dual-Link DVI-D ports because of the 4 prongs, what I am wondering is can I take a Dual-Link DVI-D cable, plug it into the monitor through its Dual-Link DVI-D port and the other end into the Dual-Link DVI-I port on my graphics card and have that work with no problems giving me 144hz at 1080p? I'm having different people tell me different things with this, 50% of people telling me it'll work and be no problem, but the other 50% are telling me it wont work. (DisplayPort isn't an option without using adapters). TLDR - Are Dual-Link DVI-D cables compatible with Dual-Link DVI-I ports on Graphics Cards? Thanks.
  2. If it doesn't, hopefully I'll find some sort of adapter that'll make it work.

  4. Ahh now I'm really confused with this. I have a bunch of people telling me otherwise. I can understand why a DL DVI-I cable wont fit in a DL DVI-D port because of the 4 prongs but I have been told my some that DL DVI-D is compatible with DL DVI-I ports, the 4 prongs are just redundant.
  5. I don't think the monitor has a DP port. Yeah I know a DL DVI-D connection will do 1080p 144hz, but will DL DVI-D cables work in DL DVI-I ports?
  6. Hi all. I have bought a new Monitor for myself from Amazon which hasn't arrived yet but I have a question that I should have probably asked before I made the purchase. It's a 144hz Monitor, It has a Dual-Link DVI-D port which I want to use, however, my graphics card (4GB MSI GTX960) has a Dual-Link DVI-I port. Is this a problem? Or will a DL DVI-D cable fit and work from a monitor DL DVI-D port into a DL DVI-I port on a graphics card just fine? If not then is there some sort of adapter that could make it work? Thanks.
  7. It wouldn't surprise me if we did have one of the worst. Closest region server is around 500 miles away from me. There are only 2 in the UK, closest is around 500miles away basically.
  8. It probably is matching me over there to be honest.. I'm not using a VPN.
  9. I'm in the UK. The closest region to me in the Steam settings is around 500 miles away. It never used to be like this, or at least as bad as this.
  10. Hello. I posted about this problem I have been having recently about 5 days ago on here and I found that no answer helped really, now here I am another 5 days later and the problem is still here. I recently built myself a new PC. At first things were fine, then, not. I'm having high ping issues on CS:GO ONLY. It's not a peak problem because it's 24/7 now, not random times. It's close to unplayable. I'll have 200 ping on my netgraph and the game will freeze frame every second or two seconds for a few hundredths of a second. I feel like I've tried everything. Let me know if there's anything you think that might help my that I may not have tried. PC Specs: i5 4690k @3.5ghz 16GB DDR3 RAM @1600mhz MSI 4GB GTX960 Need more info? Let me know. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
  11. Hi all. Is the HyperX Cloud 2 Gaming Headset good for gaming specific purposes? I've seen and heard good reviews of this one but I'd like to hear directly from a current or previous user of the headset so they can tell me their experience using it. Thanks.
  12. I might give it a shot yes. But it just shouldn't be necessary, to have to do that. It's a problem that leads to nothing really...
  13. First option definitely hasn't worked, it's strange, very strange problem.
