Acer GN246HL Bbid adapter for 1660ti most affordable option?

[PaPaNurgle]

So i messed up royally and got a Acer GN246HL Bbid  with my 1660ti installed not understanding the situation needing a GPU connected dual dvi connection for 144hz situation. I've heard there are adapters to make it work that are more on the expensive side of things. My question, What is the most affordable option for this display adapter?




Also side note, considering just getting this instead monitor    any opinions ? I don't have much money and was wondering how the much more experienced linus community thought about this.

Probably the cheapest one that will work for your situation:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00856WJH8/

 

You can usually find them cheaper on eBay though.

 

I wouldn't recommend the XL2411P, it's not a good value. The ViewSonic XG2401 would probably be a better choice if you're on a budget.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0ZRR50/

 

The AOC C24G1 and G2590FX are also good options.

im reading that people experienced rough screen flickering and such with that adapter, how common is that and could you elaborate on that issue if you know about it so that i know better before purchasing?

EDIT: also what the hells the difference between a 3D monitor and a 2D one. People think the adapter doesn't work with 3D at all.

The DVI standard doesn't support 3D capability, so that doesn't surprise me.

 

I've use the adapter without issues, but really depends on your specific equipment, any of these adapters aren't going to be super reliable. Which is another reason I'd recommend getting a newer monitor instead.
