EVGA GTX 570 2560MB

Hi All,

So I wanted to use the HDMI port from the very beginning but when I finally did it was turning out to have a worse performance than the DVI cable setup

I thought from the beginning that the picture just wasnt as crisp as the DVI but then I noticed in bf3 that I was only running in 60Hz...once I switch back to the DVI cable I could change it back up to 120Hz and the difference was obviously massive.

Any ideas why this might be the case? I would have thought that surely it would be HDMI > DVI and that HDMI could run at the highest frequency, but I wouldnt be an expert in the area

Specs -

Monitor - Asus VG236 (1080p, 3D)

Graphics card - EVGA GTX 570 HD (2560mb)

Cable - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002U3161M

Thanks,

Kev

DVI and HDMI are both digital connections, so there wouldn't be any difference in the picture quality as far as I know. I haven't got a 120Hz monitor, but don't you use a dual-DVI connection to get the 120Hz refresh rate?

Yeah sorry should have mentioned that I used a DVI-D cable

but still HDMI 1.4a which can apparently be used for 3D tvs you would assume it can run at 120Hz

Apparently HDMI cannot support 120Hz at 1080p from what I've read and heard.
