If I hook up this to a GTX 780 with dual link dvi, will I get the 144Hz ALL the time or only in games in which I can get 144fps (not many games)?

You will get 144Hz all the time but when playing a game your monitor will still refresh at 144Hz but you will only see the FPS you are getting in the game. what you need to do if you are on a PC hopefully windows 8 but works with 7 and vista is you need to go to your resolution and go to advanced settings and change the Hz from 60 to 144. If you have a Mac which I doubt because you have a GTX 780 (unless you have hackintosh) I am not sure but I think it is in display settings right under resolution in mavericks...I think... only ever played with mavericks through virtual machine but I think I remember it was there. Also duel link DVI will give you 1080p 144Hz but if you can try to use display port it will give you more headroom in terms of resolution so it is just an insurance that you are getting 144Hz though it is a little finicky when you first set it up.

A 780 will play most games on high settings in 1080p at 120+ fps. If you are worried about your hardware reaching 120+ fps, look up some 780 benchmarks for the games you are worried about. There are a few more demanding games like Crysis or The Witcher that you aren't going to get high frame rates on high settings, but the benchmarks should help you find those games you will have issues with.

When games go into fullscreen mode, they take control of the monitor and re-initialize the display at a pre-defined resolution and refresh rate. Make sure you specify 1080p@144Hz in the game's resolution settings (if it even allows you to).It's much easier to just play all games in a borderless window- I've not known traditional fullscreen to have any benefits whatsoever.

Insufficient information. There are five different video cards that can come with a stock OptiPlex 780s, so it may or may not work for you without any changes. Look on the back for two VGA ports that are near each other (blue 25-pin trapezoidal ports). If you have them, it'll work. If not, then probably not, though you may be able to make it work with a DVI-to-VGA adapter (if there's a white port next to a blue port).

For a single monitor I would go with the 780, if you start using multiple monitors, then I would consider two smaller GPU's. The 780 is a fabulous card, but I have two 770's right now because I use four monitors for work.

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though. Yes, I have, that's why I bought it.

Yes. I'm running two monitors with this card - one with the DVI slot and a second with the VGA port. Both work fine.

Honestly, I would buy this now. If you're looking for multi monitor setup, this is more than enough. With the 800 series you're still waiting for an actual release date while you could be gaming with the 6gb gtx 780 now and it'll last you well enough until a 900 series then comes out. Buy it now.

I don't think there's such a thing as "max output" of a connection, rather, how much a graphics card can handle. The 4GB version (like mine) can definitely handle 1440p (I have 3840x1080p, which is dual 1920x1080p with the 4GB version). However, I only play on one of the screens at high/ultra on most games like BF4, Skyrim, Dota2, etc. I believe you will be able to play at 1440p at high, perhaps for Ultra you'll need a GTX 770 3GB+ SLI or a GTX 780Ti with 3GB+. If I were you, I would get this card, try to use it on your 1440p (I don't know what you intend to do: gaming, rendering stuff, etc) and, if you feel like it's not enough, buy another one and go SLI because this card is cool and quiet, can't hear it at all while gaming and never went beyond 60C as far as I can remember (I'm playing right now on Ultra at 51C).

its already in 144hz, for games, you need to change in video settings. i only changed the contrast, colours etc.

Yes it does. It shows your rig's true performance in gaming. Once you use a 144Hz monitor you will NEVER EVER want to return to a 60Hz monitor. I'm Dead Serious.

I use the Asus R290X DirectCU II card. Yes it was $600 but with Mantel enabled it runs BF4 on Ultra at 1440p with no problems at all online with 64 player servers. Not to mention the same brand card that Asus makes for the GTX 780Ti is about $100 or so more. I'm very happy with the graphics card though, it runs very cool with the Asus DirectCU and has no throttling at all. Its quiet as heck in the Uber mode compared to the stock 290/290X cooled cards. Those cards even throttle in Uber mode and are so loud.

Unfortunately, this model does not have Dual Displayport connectors. I currently own two (2) of these video cards (This exact model, purchased from Amazon), and they each have 1 Displayport connector, 1 HDMI connector (Full Size HDMI), and 2 DVI connectors (Qty. (1) DVI-D & (1) DVI-I). I will say that I'm very happy with the EVGA GTX 770 FTW, they have been functioning flawlessly in an SLI configuration, and for the price they are a Good Buy!

None whatsoever. The important thing to remember is to use a DVI-D cable on the correct port of your video card. I have a GTX780 and there are two DVI ports so I had to research a bit.

I have 2 of these and they work wonders. Depends what you're doing/playing. If you're monitor is 120/144hZ or 4k (best to go with the 4gb version of this card) What are your specs going to be?

I don't game, but I would assume these monitors are not great for gaming. They are relatively low resolution, 1440x900 rather than an HD monitor at 1920x1080. Their refresh rate is only 60Hz and I think most gaming monitors are more around 120Hz? Both of mine came with a standard VGA cable, but the monitors also accept DVI-D input.

You do not want to downgrade the gpu processing power that far for extra VRAM that extra VRAM is only useful for extreme resolutions like 4k but a normal 780 is not going to give you the fps you can play at regardless of the extra VRAM. You are better off going with a 290x or Titan z or wait until the newer cards support higher VRAM with the gpu to handle games at those high resolutions and acceptable fps.

I connected mine with dual-link DVI cable and it works fine. To get the high resolution it does need to be dual-link. You can tell if it by looking to see if it has pins in all 24 locations. Regular DVI will not support the high resolution. You can also use HDMI. It depends on the monitor and the graphics card what it supports. Hope this helps.

yes you can just make sure that you plug them in with DVI-D plugs to get the full 144hz the cables are not expensive and when you boot you have to go to windows and adjust your monitor setup and tell windows were each monitor is placed there are tons of videos online if you need help with that.
