I did some more googling last night and it seems like everyone who owns my particular monitor agrees that it's practically impossible to even get 120hz out of it with the adapter, which makes sense with what you're saying. I've also noticed that it looks less vibrant since I started using the adapter, and I'm guessing that's the reduced color depth. Well, at least now I have an excuse to upgrade to a new monitor.

Also, I think the blackscreen issues I was having were probably caused by a failure to remove the old display drivers. I got rid of those and the new card seems to be less glitchy now. Figures!

Oh and by the way, is there a way to set color depth in CRU? I don't see any option for that there.

It's not impossible to get 120 Hz with an active adapter. You just have to reduce the vertical total to keep the pixel clock under 476 MHz. That works with the Accell adapters at least. Color depth doesn't affect vibrancy. It mainly affects how smooth gradients are, but the GPU will dither 6 bpc so it doesn't look too bad. CRU doesn't have a way to set the DisplayPort color depth yet, but it's only possible to specify a maximum value, not a minimum.
