Hello! I am currently working on a second setup and am looking at upgrading the monitor. I have seen this question asked many times, however the answers I have found have not been as clear as I had hoped. My goal is to successfully use a 144hz monitor with my AMD graphics card and see the 144 FPS. Even though this question has been asked about a million times, I was wondering if this collection of parts would work together:

Sapphire Radeon R9 380 ( http://amzn.to/2oa9Ujs )
Acer 24inch 144hz Panel ( http://amzn.to/2oEu2gK )
HDMI 1.3 Braided Cable ( http://amzn.to/2nK16o9 )

Despite many people believing that specific AMD cards are simply incapable of running graphics at 144hz, I simply ask for the answer. For those of you wondering which games I would like to run at this refresh rate, I play Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Minecraft, Blackwake, and various other graphics intensive games at a wonderfully acceptable FPS. Thank you so much for your time!
 
Those games aren't very intensive, you should be fine.
"Refresh Rate: 144Hz (Using Display Port)" quoted off your link.
Go with Display port. If you find a nice braided DP cable for sale, link it for me.
 


Thank you for your reply. The reason why I am very skeptical about using a DP cable is because I read that I need to be using Freesync with AMD, however this card does not support that. I assume it will still work without freesync?
 


Thank you so very much for your time. Really, I appreciate this so much. Have a good one!
 


Yeah. After more research, I found that out. Thank you for this.
