Reddit reviews Accell DP to DVI Adapter - DisplayPort to DVI-D Dual-Link Active Adapter - 2560x1600 (Wqxga) @60Hz, 1920x1080 @60Hz

Edit: Not sure if these support 144hz properly, but works for 60hz. If anyone knows, please chime in.

Edit2: After some research, you need an active adapter, which are very pricey for proper 144hz output.

I thought we were going off of dual link :P [Heres how much one cost in canada though, pretty goddamn expensive] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A19N3NI8X4F24J)

Sure, I have two GTX770 cards and the inputs they have are DVI-I (Analog and Digital), DVI-D (Digital), HDMI, and DisplayPort. This QNIX QX2710 monitor requires at least a dual link DVI cable in order to function. DVI-I and DVI-D both support dual-link DVI. Therefore, four of my six monitors are powered by the DVI inputs on my GPUs.

For the remaining two monitors, you need to use the DisplayPort input. HDMI won't work with these monitors, the maximum resolution of HDMI 1.4a (which is what the GTX770 supports) is 1200p@60Hz.

EDIT: I was wrong about HDMI 1.4 not supporting 1440p. It actually does support resolutions up to 2160p @ 24hz, and you can apparently possibly overclock up to 120hz by unlocking and increasing the pixel clock on the graphics card, which is what I am trying now.

The remaining two monitors must use a special DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI converter in order to work. There really is no other way otherwise, unfortunately. And these converters are not cheap, they go for around $100 each if you were to buy them on Amazon. What I managed to do was find similar Dell BizLink cables at a much cheaper price on eBay (~$50), and these are the ones I bought from different sellers. Those cables also require an available USB port for extra power.

So, for your case, if you want to run those GPUs separately it would be simple to use the DVI inputs for all of them. If you want to SLI, you're going to have to buy one of those DP to dual-link DVI converters to get that third monitor to work.

An active adapter is not a cord. It's a box.

You have to get a special one that's powered. Here's one I found on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ISVI3U/

There are powered display port to dual link DVI adapters but they're crazy expensive and don't always work, like this one. HDMI can't support anything over 60hz unless you have a 1.4 / 2.0 compatible monitor / gpu in which case it supports 1080p 120hz. Looks like you may have to get a new gpu unless you want to get the adapter.

You'd need one like this https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1493616491&sr=8-6&keywords=dual+link+dvi+displayport. Pretty darn expensive.

It's not full HDMI 1.4, the higher speed support is an optional part of the spec, it can only officially do 120Hz HDMI at 720p for frame packed 3D.

I no expert but i found this on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-007B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B002ISVI3U?th=1 its says that it works at 1920x1080 @ 120Hz for 3D LCD , but i don't know if it will work with out a 3D monitor or not.

Buyers should note that this monitor can only do 1080p144hz over Dual Link Dvi, and it only has 1 DVI + 1 VGA input.

Dvi is being phased out in favor of Displayport, so your future mileage out of the monitor may vary unless you buy adapters

Active powered Displayport to Dual Link Dvi adapters are expensive.

I've read issues with adapters on various forums, so I would just wait for the AIB cards to come with the DVI port though.

I really want to be wrong because an 80 buck adapter would suck to require, but I swear when I was researching this I read that you have to make absolute sure your adapter is an active one or it won't enable 144 hz.

Something like this:

You can tell it's an active one because it plugs into a usb for a power input to enable the 144 hz conversion.

I had the same issue, give me a sec and I'll like the one that worked. It needs to be a truly active one, and that would require a USB connection to power it. If it doesnt specifically state it can handle 120hz and greater, then it will not support 120hz and greater.

[This is the one I have] (https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=pd_sim_23_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41YEgS06HRL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=4AQMZ0EENKCB7DDYZJ20), I should have done more research when buying my monitor as it doesn't even have HDMI 1.4 or newer to support 120hz, so the price of this definitely hurt, but it works.

If I remember correctly you will need a powered display port adapter. Usually powered from a USB port. More like this type http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002ISVI3U/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

I have one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

so my laptop can use my 2560x1440 screen, do you need a specific card to run these monitors? Or will an active adapter also work?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 bought. tested on vega 64. works. My 120hz montitor only has dvi-d so no hdmi option for me.

Yes I'm setting it within Windows. I ordered THIS adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If this doesn't work I don't even know what I'll do..

I literally JUST went through this hell getting my 1080Ti to work on my Asus VG278HE (don't judge me; I'm waiting for the 4K HDR monitors to come out).

Almost literally every single DisplayPort cable listed on Amazon as 'ACTIVE' is, actually, PASSIVE. How they get away with this, I don't know. But this is the cable I had to buy to get 144hz to work:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Note the USB plug to power the pixel clock. Any cable that's just a DisplayPort to a DVI-D port and nothing else is a passive adapter, and won't fix your issue.

You won't find one much cheaper than the $100 range. Honestly, if I wasn't waiting for a specific monitor to come out, I would have just driven to MicroCenter, bought a Dell S2417DG for $400 and called it a day.

Proof that I'm driving a DVI-D display at 144hz with a 1080Ti FE: http://imgur.com/IFzI9vZ.png

UserBenchmark scores included for ePenis reasons.

Sigh.... once again these are passive adapters and an active adapter is needed for 144Hz.

Like this one-
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U

For about $100 you can get active DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI-D cables if that means anything to you. http://www.amazon.com/Accell-UltraAV-B087B-002B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1FIN0JJG68TIF&coliid=I1NH3AXFZKIDBN

EDIT: This cable didn't work with my macbook air 2012, but I just tried it with my rMBP and it works fine.

I am currently using a mini display port to dvi adapter, but I am only running it at 1920x1200 on the 24" Ultrasharp.

I think the only way to do it is with an ACTIVE dual dvi adpater:

Just return the monitor, or get a different 1080 Ti. In order to achieve the 144hz on your monitor, you're going to need a TRUE Active Displayport to DVI-D converter. That shit is not cheap and for the cost difference, you could get a better monitor.

If you do decide to keep both, this is what you're gonna need. I think you're better off returning the monitor though and investing those funds into a newer model with DP.

Need a powered (active) DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Accell-UltraAV-B087B-002B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1435597922&sr=8-2

EDIT: nevermind, I was being stupid, dual-link DVI duh.

Ok, now I see your problem. I think you will have to get a card with 1 DVI dual-link and 1 display port, and convert that display port to a second DUAL dvi link using an active adapter. Found 2 such adapters on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1498628713&sr=8-5&keywords=DisplayPort+to+DVI+Dual+Link

Which already puts you over budget. But then you are pretty much pick of the litter with graphics cards. (as a word of caution, the general response here will probably be something along the lines of: Buying a really low power GPU only for a graphics adapter is stupid as these will run you probably close to 70$ for one with Dual link and a display port for converting, when you can 20$ more and get something that is actually really functional. This is your call. Just a heads up.

As of looking, I see nothing really in the "non gaming" range that has a dual-link and a display port. Cheapest I found new was an RX 550 ($80 to $90). Maybe I am messing this up, but now I'm on a quest.

Sell/return the monitor.

This page list two DP->DL-DVI adapter that can get you 144hz, but look at the price.

I am in need of a recommendation on a Dual Link DVI-D to DisplayPort adapter capable of running 1080p at 144hz. I'm told that I need an active display port adapter for this to work, but I'm a bit confused about what that means. Here is the adapter that I'm looking at currently, but reviews warn against flickering. This is my build. Thank you very much for your help!

It looks like its a passive adapter as active adapters usually have a conversion chip on the DVI end of the adapter and the fact that it maxes out at 1080p seems telling that it only works in single link mode.

Most adapters are limited to 60hz.

And even if they go to 144hz, chances are it's gonna flicker like crazy.

I've been told elsewhere that https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ISVI3U/?tag=linus21-20&th=1this is the cheapest option although i have a question what the hells the difference between 3d and 2d monitors ???

You need a DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI active adapter.

They are not cheap. Monoprice has a similar one for around $70 (might have been mini-display).

Make sure if you find something, it's as bulky as these.

Trust me, I've checked. Too expensive.

https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

This one.

It would not make a difference as long as the converter does not support your monitors resolution. Only plausible solution could be an active adapter (converter) as it supports higher resolutions but the real active adapters cost 80-100$. You can buy a new monitor for that amount. And you can tell if it is real active adapter or not, is if it has an USB cable attached to it. The ones that are labled as active adapters but don't have a USB cable are actually passive adapters and you already own 2 of them, clearly they don't work.
Here is what an real active adapter looks alike: https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467454662&sr=8-3&keywords=DisplayPort+to+DVI-D+Dual-Link+Adapter
NOTE: I can't promise that even this would work.

Use an adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Accell-UltraAV-B087B-002B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U

Oh I just realized your using an adapter. Is it a powered DP adapter? They retail for like 70-100 bucks and are required for eyefinity setup w/ 3 monitors for sure, possibly 2.
EDIT Example http://www.amazon.com/Accell-UltraAV-B087B-002B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U

I can't recommend a product but what you need is something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Accell-UltraAV-B087B-002B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1435597922&sr=8-2&keywords=bizlink+active+displayport+adaptor

Yes, they are expensive and they tend to crap out on you, you can't just use passive adaptors unfortunately.

Realistically, you should return the monitor and get a different one with a display port (I really don't see why they sell them without to be honest). Or a graphics card that outputs 144hz DVI.

Sorry I know these are not ideal solutions.

this is the cheapest adapter I found on amazon that supports dual link dvi d

and it still $30

$30 can be spent on a proper 144hz monitor which also has displayport.

THIS ADPATER DOESNT EVEN SUPPORT 1080p 144hz. i just checked ratings

$5 DP to DVI adapters dont support Dual Link DVI. only Single link or similar.

edit:
looking at the other adapters..

$66

$110

Oh didn't know you needed 144Hz, you'll need an active adaptor which are more expensive
Like this one

If you read the reviews for that too many people are saying it only works as a single link adapter and/or can only display up to 1920x1080. Monitors like mine require dual link dvi.

I would need the powered adapters, like this one, which is about $150 Canadian:
