144hz monitor won't go beyond 66hz. (DP to DVI-D cable)

[gravgaard.simon]

Hello, I just got my new RTX 2060 card. I was unable to find a model that had any DVI ports in my country, so I got one with 3x Displayport and 1x HDMI. I have 2 monitors, one is a Benq XL2411z, and the other one is a Benq Zowie XL2411p. The XL2411p has no problems as it supports DisplayPort cables. However, the Z version does not, so I bought a DP to DVI-D cable and it was advertised to be used for 144hz. But it's stuck at 60hz. The only way I can change the Hz is by forcing it through Nvidia's control panel, but the screen blacks out if I go beyond 66hz. I was wondering if anyone knows what the problem might be, and how to fix this?

You need an active DP to DVI-D adapter, and thsoe are not cheap.
The single cables DP to DVI are not dual-link.

Something like this is what you need:

Damn, well that's annoying. I guess I'll have to get myself one of those then. Thanks for the reply!
