144hz refresh rate

[Dazfeeder]

Hi, im having trouble with my monitor, Im trying to use 144hz refresh rate, but when I select it the screen goes mental and I get a message saying that I need a Dual Link DVI cable, Im using a DVI-D dual link cable tho,

 

My monitor is a Asus VG278HE

GPU is a GTX 780

 

Im thinking the cable is shit amd I havent got the cable that came with monitor anymore, Can someone give me a link to a cable that will work or help please.

You are probably using single link, here is a link to a dual link DVI cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812816012&cm_re=dual_link_dvi-_-12-816-012-_-Product

 

Also make sure to plug in the cable into the Dual link dvi connection on your gpu (i assume both are dual link, just check to be sure).

Maybe double check your cable just in case. Here's a reference

I had the same issue getting my rig setup, just bought some of these as the local radio shack wanted $30 for one

Odd, should be able to do it, assuming it's true dual-link, and not just pinned for dual-link (there is a difference, and it happens a lot)
