Can 275GTX Sli run 144HZ Monitor?

[Juusuhako]

My brother is interested in buying Asus' new 144hz monitor, but from what I know a gpu must be compatible to run 144hz. He has, as the title says, 2x275GTX.

He has it up "against" a BenQ 120hz, but I dont believe a gpu must be compatible to deliver 120hz, or am I wrong? Also, does anyone know of the panel they both use? (TN or whatever)

From my experience the Benq is a far superior monitor, but I think that there is no compatibility as such, that is just the number of fps that monitor can display. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong

Ye he decided on the BenQ. How does he achieve the 120hz? I read something about dual-dvi... Or can a single hdmi do it?

No you can't through HDMI, at least not on mine anyway (BenQ 120Hz), you need a dual link-dvi cable, which should come with the monitor. If his gpu is 3-d vision compatible it will have a d-dvi slot

No point getting that monitor over the one he already has. The picture will look slightly worse, due to the higher ppi. 144Hz is a hype

Would dual 275GTX even be able to run 144hz @ 1920x1080? Doesnt that take some srs horsepower?

Well yes, you'd need 144 fps to properly see the effects

So, is this a giant 3DS?

So whenever people say that you need a high-end gpu to see the 144hz effect, basically they mean that the game you play, simply needs to run at 144fps, and thats it?

Lol'd hard. xD
I think he wants it because he believes its better due to its higher numbers (24" vs. 27", 120hz vs. 144hz, its a new model vs. BenQs that is relatively old now)

Gonna have to check his fps in his games.

The BenQ is a far superior panel trust me, but yes to see the full effect you would need to get 144 fps. It's more often for a smoother desktop experience than gaming
