Question / Help Dual PC setup 120hz

[swisz]

Hey guys.

Im running two systems.

PC 1:
Playing games with 120 hz screen from Benq.

PC 2:
Only for encoding with a 60 hz samsung screen.
With Avermedia card.

From PC 1 to PC 2, do i have a HDMI cable from PC 1 graphic card to PC 2 Avermedia input.
PC 1 is cloning PC 2 Avermedia card, and therfor locks me at 60 hz on my 120 hz screen.

Is it possible to run 120 HZ on my PC 1? Or not?
Any solutions?

please help

You should be able to set the refresh rate of each output individually on your GPU driver.

Where exaclty do you find this?

Set up the cloned display in the nVidia driver instead of through Windows and see if that works better.

Still the same. Locked at 60 Hz

So no solution to this problem?

I mean, I don't really know what to say. I know several people who are able to get this to work just fine, but I don't have a 120hz monitor so I can't test it.

Your capture card in PC2 is essentially another screen. If it's not capable of capturing at 120hz, it's going to lock the other screen at that rate.

As an example, if I have two monitors, one that does 1920x1080 and one that does 1366x768, if I set them to 'cloned' they can't be different resolutions. They'll both get locked to 1366x768.

hello pls,

Go to your nvidia control panel -> Display -> Set up multiple displays. Right click the cloned monitors and set the Clone Source to your 120hz monitor. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/cszlNjP.png


Now go to Change resolution and set your 120hz to 120hz like so: http://i.imgur.com/0putkxd.png

I have an identical question except there's one discreet difference and I'd really appreciate if someone could help!

I have the same scenario going on, however I have an AMD card and catalyst control center is setup a little differently than the Nvidia drivers. Is there anyone that might be able to help me output 120 Hz to my main monitor while having 60 Hz going to the AverMedia capture card?

Now the problem is screen tearing. I see alot of tearing on my stream.
Any solution to this?
My idea were to be that i am playign with 120 hz, but the avermedia card can only cab 60 FPS(60hz) - So it gets out of sync.
