Try a better dual link dvi cable for the 11t.

 

Running a mixture of 120hz and 60hz is no problem.

 

You may also want to set 'power management mode' to 'prefer maximum performance' in 'manage 3d settings'. It could be that the 660 does not have enough grunt at the 324/324 idle clocks to handle all the displays and this sometimes helps (guess)

hello i have a wierd problem... i have 3 screens running from one of  my 2 660 twin frozr.  

1 by HDMI (BenQ 21,5" LED V2210 Eco) 1 of a DVI to HDMI converter (Samsung 22" LED-TV UE22D5015) and my BenQ XL2411T of the DVI so i can have it run at 120hz.

the XL2411T is the one flickering... it is brand new and i have no trouble if i run just one or 2 screens but at the moment i connect all of them it beginns... 

 

may the problem be that i run the 2 other screens at 60hz and the XL2411T at 120hz? :o but then it should be affected even if i just run 2 screens right? :S 

 

i would love to get some help because this is getting anoying :(

Does your computer have the power to support the refresh rate of all three monitors as well as all of your other hardware?

Running screens with different refresh rates is a bad idea, even in a dual monitor setup, sorry to say. :(

yes it doesn't work very well at all.

it still flickers even if i have all of the screens at 60 hz :/ the thing is that i can run it at 120hz with one of the screens just fine but the second i connect the last screen it flickers :/

i have a corsair AX 760 i think that should be enought power for this build...

if you move the screens slightly away from each other does it still flicker?
