Unless I'm mistaken, HDMI 2.0 can do 1080p@144hz (support for 120hz was added with HDMI 1.4).

 

I would wait for aftermarket 480s to be released and reviewed before I decided to go buy them (plus I would probably go with a 1070 regardless).

Does your display support display port?

Horrible screen tearing, when I tried it.

Are you sure that was an issue caused by HDMI 2.0 and not something else? I can't imagine why the cable would cause tearing.

@Glenwing Any speculation as to why?

Ran fine with a display port cable, though it was a shit monitor. Gave it away for someone to use as a TV xD 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

What monitor was it? Are you sure the HDMI port on the monitor was capable of accepting a 120hz signal?

Why buy 2x RX 480?

 

GTX 1070 is like 10% cheaper, 50% less power usage, 50% less heat, 99 less problems with crossfire and bad scaling.

 

The only positive about RX 480 crossfire is that in some games and benchmarks it will be 10% ish better than GTX 1070.

HDMI and DisplayPort don't adapt to Dual-Link DVI, only Single-Link. What monitor are you talking about.

Buy a 1070 and save yourself enough money to buy a display port cable.

 

Edit, actually some monitors come with a display port cable, so use the money you'd save to eat out.

If OP would need more DP cables Amazon sells their Amazonbasics cables for a good price I think.  I use some of their HDMI cables and haven't had any problems so I assume their DP cables are good too.

Might have been the port, it was an ASUS 1080p but forget the model. Overclocked it went to shit after 60fps with a HDMI.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

I don't think the HDMI cable was to blame. The HDMI port probably didn't support an input over 60hz (having a port doesn't mean it will be supported at the max framerate -- my tv for example is a true 120hz but only one of the five HDMI ports actually can receive a >60hz signal).

The 2412m doesn't support above 60hz. 

 

How many monitors will you have and which are they?

Connect the U2412m through an HDMI to DVI adapter and the BenQ/Asus 144hz monitor through DP.

i think he means hes going to buy the 144hz monitor when he buys the 2nd rx 480 for his rig.. how should he do with the adapters with his u2412m and rx 480

meanwhile

 

If that's the case, then just buy an HDMI to DVI/DP adapter.
