120 hz for the millionth time.

Hi!

Here's the situation:

I recently changed my gpu, from gtx 260 to gtx 650 ti. With the gtx 260 I had no problem using using my monitor at 120 hz @ 1024x768. I was using PowerStrip tho to get the right result because Windows 7 simpy didn't allow me to put it over 85 hz without this program.
Now, being on gtx 650 ti even with PowerStrip I can't go up to 120 hz, because the "Advanced timing options" is greyed out and I just simply can not find a way to click onto it.

By the way, the card itself has two ports, a VGA and a DVI-I. When I use the DVI-I port the monitor doesn't want to give any kind of picture, it just stays black.

Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.

Being 12 isn't a solid reason to be a cunt.

there could be the point alrdy, if u cant use the dvi-i port! im not very sure but it could be because of the vga slot!
Maybe you need DVI Dual Link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
Example display modes (dual link): WUXGA (1,920 × 1,200) @ 120 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 x 154 MHz)
For hdtv max refresh rate @85 using dvi

Get hdmi
I would say get HDMI
dual link or hdmi
HDMI is terrible advice.

You need a dual link dvi cable or displayport cable.
I got these ports on the video card:

So I won't be able to use dual-link cables, right?

Ah, sorry I messed up the DVI-I and DVI-D.
So I got the VGA to DVI-D(dual link) connector, but when I just use it the monitor is not giving any kind of picture.

cable on the left is the one you want to use. If you are already using that and not the one on the right then good luck sorting it out :D

ps. both will fit a dual link port, so dont assume because it fit it's the correct one.

I got the one on the left, like I said DVI-D dual link. What do you mean by "sorting it out"?

Get AMD card, not Intel family, problems solved.
new monitor
reboot
