[SOLVED] BenQ Xl2411 144hz with RTX 2070

[Bomulis]

I have a BenQ XL2411 Monitor and my new PC has an ASUS RTX 2070 Super with no DVI-D connectors, thus I am unable to get the 144hz setting on the computer using an HDMI cord and the monitor has no display port (DP) ports. Im in Canada and need it sorted asap for work. Can someone link an amazon canada adapter or something that will arrive ASAP and that I can get my monitor to work in 144hz.

Thankyou

I ordered this, and am now being told it doesn't even work to 144hz, it was recommended by someone on the forums here, anyone knows? Specifically for the BenQ XL2411

It does, but not with that monitor.

What about the second link, being https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00GUR017O/?coliid=I2PS829JR4Q1CR&colid=3V3DI889ASE6S&th=1 this item.

It will not work, you require a dual-link active adapter, not just any active adapter.

Any adapter that says "up to 1920x1200" is single link only.

So am I basically screwed? I don't want to drop 300+ on a new monitor and I need this ASAP so I can't wait months for an amazon order. I can't find any adapters that will work.

I found the supported timings for this model on their website here: https://www.benq.com/en-us/support/downloads-faq/products/zowie-e-sports-monitors/xl2411/manual.html

Seems like this model can only do 144Hz via DVI, so you'll need an adapter like this. But when in doubt, just shoot Zowie a DM on Twitter.
