  1. Alright, well thanks for the feedback Glen. I'll probably keep looking around, because 144Hz Surround + FreeSync is definitely worth it. Thanks.
  2. Will nVidia Surround work then? Remember I need 5760x1080, not a separate monitor config. How about something going to DL-DVI-D to DisplayPort? And...does such a dongle exist?
  3. Gotcha, this is getting a little more specialized, so as you can imagine not that many people have knowledge of said chips. Where can I read up about it and get all the information I need about these chips? Ok so, I'm running a GTX 1080ti in there, and it only came with two DisplayPorts. I only have two HDMI 2.0b's, and a Dual Link DVI-D slot left. My monitor has 2x HDMI's, and one DisplayPort. I'm trying to get nVidia Surround with 5760x1080@144Hz. So really my only solution is DL-DVI-D at this point since I kind of want FreeSync working with it that 144Hz.
  4. Man, that is always SO *&%# frustrating. These companies NEVER say what specs they have on their dongles and adapters. Yeah, if I'd have to guess it sounds like either the HDMI end is not v1.3 or higher, since that's what supports 144Hz, or something else in the wiring. How do you get to know if my dongle has a "chip" in it, and the right specs so I know what to look for to get 144Hz and such? :((((
  5. Right, as I stated, however the display is hooked up to the Displayport end, while the video card is getting the HDMI end. So my monitor says 144Hz is unlocked since that's the port it's actually hooked into. And I know HDMI 2.0b (which is what my video card supports) can support 144Hz. So it should work that way in theory, because my display is not actually hooked into HDMI.
  6. Hey guys. So I just bought this HDMI to DisplayPort cable for one of my Samsung CFG73 monitors to get it working on 1080p at 144Hz. Problem is no matter how I connect it, the nVidia Control Panel still says it's running at 1080p 120Hz. Now, I'm certain that my card has HDMI 2.0b slots on it, and my monitor says it is currently functioning at 144Hz via the settings. But I know my display is actually at 120Hz since it caps at 120 FPS with vsync on (using Crackdown 3 as reference...and other games). Is there something I'm missing? I know for a fact my other displays with DP is for sure at 144Hz, but I'm running a cable going HDMI from my video card, to DisplayPort on my monitor. How can it not achieve 144Hz since DP and HDMI 2.0b both support 144Hz? Is it the cable maybe? This is what I bought: HDMI to DisplayPort. I know it says 60Hz, but it's actively on 120Hz 1080p as I type this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! EDIT: Also, kind of want FreeSync on top of all that.
