Maximum Refresh Rate on DVI-D on RX480?

[Gamer]

Hi, i am buying a GPU for a Friend.. and they have a old 3D samsung monitor...

It has a HDMI and a DVI-D socket..

can go to 120Hz...

I was wondering if anyone here is on a DVI Connection and if your monitor can go to 120hz or higher... does this card go up to 120Hz on DVI on a 1080p Monitor.

Dvi-d supports 120hz @ 1080p, no problem there.

i know normally DVI-D can get up to 120Hz. but theres some things on sites that say it is refresh rate locked on HDMI and DVI-D ports of this card Sapphire NITRO+ OC RX480 8GB AMD Graphics Card 11260-01-20G

It comes down to GPU's port revision and the revision of cable used that overall will determine the max support for Res+Refresh; the Display of course, but that is secondary; what the GPU & connected cable supports is the primary factors.

Single-Link DVI Cable however is capped at 1920x1200x60Hz
Dual-Link DVI port + dual-link cable can do up to 120Hz at 1080p; with an overall max supported res+refresh at 2560x1600x60Hz

So if you are using a Single-Link DVI Cable, thats why you're seeing a "cap"
Get a nice Dual-Link DVI-D Cable w/ Ferrite Core; this can be DVI-D to HDMI in a single cable; or DVI-D to DVI-D male to male; depending on your needs.

Also about Cable Length:

The maximum length recommended for DVI cables is not included in the specification, since it is dependent on the pixel clock frequency. In general, cable lengths up to 4.5 metres (15 ft) will work for display resolutions up to 1920 × 1200. Longer cables up to 15 metres (49 ft) in length can be used with display resolutions 1280 × 1024 or lower. For greater distances, the use of a DVI booster – a signal repeater which may use an external power supply – is recommended to help mitigate signal degradation.
