Benq 2411z / MSI Gaming Z 2070 GPU - 144 hz Display Issue

[k3tone]

Hi Experts,

I have a Benq 2411z monitor, which supports 144hz only over DVI-DL (it has 1x DVI-Sub, 1xHDMI and 1x DVI-DL).

Now, my graphics card does not have a DVI Port, it has 3 Display Ports (1.4) and 1 HDMI (2.0) and 1 USB Type C.

The display is ofcourse stuck at 60hz.

Can some expert tell me what exactly I need to do to get the display running at 1080p x 144Hz ??

Thanks a lot..

You'd need to run DisplayPort to DVI-DL via an adapter - but watch out, there are plenty of fakes out there.

I prefer Startech cables to do what they claim, but the required DP to DVI-DL is $150 USD.

The one linked in the thread, that Glenwing can vouch for can be had for ~$100 USD via Amazon.

Thank you so much, though i stumbled upon the thread later, I should have googled a bit more, but instead of yelling me to do a search, you actually pointed to me at the right direction.. So, thanks again
