I know that you can use both dual dvi and displayport cables to get 144hz on your monitor.

I can plug the DisplayPort cable into my monitor, but theres literally no where to plug it into my computer. Is there like something else that im missing to put the two together????

i mean the display port came with the monitor without actually saying that it came with a displayport, so (ya know, couldnt have checked). my monitor supports 144hz and i have a dual dvi cable + updated drivers, yet i still cant get 144hz.

did you right click desktop > screen resolution > advanced > monitor and change it from 60 to 144? it doesn't happen automatically

i did check my screen resolution/nvidia options for the drop down bar that allows you to select 144hz, its like just not an option

EDIT: atleast i dont have an 144hz option for 1920x1080, i have it for a few other lower resolutions like 1024x720

Did you plug it into the dual-link dvi slot of your card? Does it even have such a slot?

ok im lost what do you guys mean by card

the301stspartan do you mean like does my computer have a slot to actually put the port into? in which case, no it does not

Do you own a dual-link dvi cable (it's a special dvi cable) and does your graphics card have a slot to plug it into?

the cable, and where it plugs into, need to both look like this or it isn't dual link

edit: or rather just the cable, where it plugs into will probably have a plus instead of a minus

I would think a video card that doesn't have DP won't have HDMI2 either.

OP, what's your video card?

I understand where you're coming from Clienthacks! I almost broke my last card when I tried to plug my HMDI cable into a DP(?) slot! So confusing lol

I find this to be a very ignorant and poorly thought out response! When designing any item for consumer release it seems only rational to consider ease of use, something the creators of MVIBIA simply ignored completely. I purchased my GT720 with hopes of tons of buttery smooth frames and low latency only to find that the cable from my monitor simply would not fit into the port provided. After countless minutes on the line with evga's mediocre support team I've concluded that AMD is honestly just the better choice.

You bought a $50 dollar video card?

I can't tell if your post is sarcastic or a joke or something.

I mean if you have a hard time differentiating HDMI from DP you should get yourself one of these instead of a PC.

It is pretty obvious which is which if you take a second to actually look at the connector and the cable.

Ease of use? Connecting anything to your computer is literally legos, It could not be easier

Okay guys, I added the op and the issue has been resolved. He was using a single link dvi cable as apposed to the proper dual link dvi cable. He was connecting it properly and all that. His pc supports dual link dvi no problem it was the cable that was messing it up.

On my first laptop (old toughbook) I accidentally fried it by putting the charger in a USB port instead of the charger port right next to it.

To be fair to myself, if it didn't go in so easily I would have noticed that I was putting it in the wrong port.

However, this is worse. This isn't even legos, it's that circle/square/triangle peg thing. If something doesn't go right in, don't force it in or you'll break the whole thing.

Also expecting good performance with a 720, lol

Taking bets now that instead of getting an acceptable low end GPU he somehow found one that's even worse than the GT 720, maybe even worse than the HD 3000.

Sorry, my bad.
Obviously fps don't matter if you only care about calculations per seconds.
Fps only matter if you care about fps.
I just didn't expect you to use a GT 720 as a compute card since you wanted to connect a 144Hz monitor to it. Also I've seen asians with a pocket calculator get compute work done faster than that card.
