I decided to take the defective monitor back out of the box, and try the DVI hook up once again. Same $hit, only would display in 1080P and had lines 3 1/2 wide green lines going through it up and down and had a distorted image even in the splash screen when powering on, and with out anything hooked up to it.
I had heard that if using a HDMI cable on this monitor it will not go higher than 1080P and only at 30 hz refresh. Somebody got their facts mixed up because I had some issues getting it to go 1440P but once I plugged in the hdmi and installed the drivers for the BenQ off the CD, I am now in 1440P.
However, I still believe this monitor is defective for sure, as the DVI port should support 1440P no problems. I have only had one other crazy thing happen while using the HDMI port, while surfing the web it started making fuzzy lines off all content displayed on the monitor but stopped doing it after a few seconds. I will have to wait till Monday before I can find out what the status is on the new one coming. But the good news is that I can play with this one now till I get the replacement and at 1440P. Here are my results in the Bog map.

So far I am loving this monitors features, picture Quality is unreal! FPS seem to be better then what I expected with the single 7970. Maybe I can hold off after all for the new cards coming out.
Here are the earnings results for this match..... only goes to show just how poor the earnings/rewards really are, just sad.
