Posted September 26, 2017 A buddy of mine have today invested in a second 144Hz panel and came to realize his GTX 1060 can only drive one at full speed at a time. Seems odd to me, as the 1060 is a pretty good GPU. Its even showing problems already from the beginning in Windows, not even in game. For now he is just using the supplied cables, one DP and one DVI, so to me it sounds mostly like bad cables. What do you guys say?

Posted September 26, 2017 I don't think [single-link] DVI can supply 1080@144Hz. Edit: Can you check if he's using dual-link DVI?

Obvious problem is obvious I think the quality for the money it gives is very good, I my self have a 1070 and that is obviously better special if you want to run Ultra settings in most games, but its also costing more. So what you mean is that a GTX 1060 will not be able to do 2x 144Hz? My Gaming PC: 27833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2017 What game? Overwatch in 720p? No problem. Witcher 3 in 4k, big problem. The GPU can run 2 screens at 144hz, but can it run 2 screens at 144 FPS? That is the question.

No, the idea was to game on one screen but to have a similar setup, so he can choose what screen to game on and use both for more normal work, were the 144 Hz is giving less strain on the eyes for extended periods of time But the problem is that already on Windows desktop it gives trouble and will not run 2x 144 My Gaming PC: 27833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, sorry, no no 144Hz in general and as much FPS as possibe in game, I know it will fluctuate a lot on a GTX 1060 depending on settings, even does that on my 1070 (it is not a SLI 1080Ti afterall) so I dont expect he will be able to do miracles My Gaming PC: 27833 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote To output 1080p content at 144Hz, you typically use a dual link DVI-D cable or DisplayPort cable. You can also use a HDMI 1.3 or higher cable. Running 1080p content at 144Hz can be a very demanding task. Contrary to popular belief, a standard HDMI 1.2 cable can not be used to output 144Hz 1080p content on a monitor. HDMI versions up to 1.2 support the same data throughput as single link DVI-D. A HDMI to DVI or DVI to HDMI adapter is converting to or from single link DVI-D, as the video signal for these two is identical and it is just the adapter that is required (HDMI can carry audio, but this is lost with an adapter). https://www.144hzmonitors.com/knowledge-base/144hz-1080p-which-cable-do-i-need/ Cor Caeruleus Reborn v6 Spoiler CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K CPU Cooler: be quiet! - PURE ROCK Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver - 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste Motherboard: ASRock Z370 Extreme4 Memory: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 2x8GB 3200/14 Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital - Blue 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Storage: Western Digital - BLACK SERIES 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: EVGA - 970 SSC ACX (1080 is in RMA) Case: Fractal Design - Define R5 w/Window (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA P2 750W with CableMod blue/black Pro Series Optical Drive: LG - WH16NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit and Linux Mint Serena Keyboard: Logitech - G910 Orion Spectrum RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard Mouse: Logitech - G502 Wired Optical Mouse Headphones: Logitech - G430 7.1 Channel Headset Speakers: Logitech - Z506 155W 5.1ch Speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
