[SOLVED] Can I use a 144hz monitor with a 60hz monitor, while connecting them with different cables?

[Da.Hoagie]

Hello everyone! I have a quick question regarding a future purchase I will be making.

So right now, I have a 60 Hz monitor, and I plan to buy a 144 hz one, and readjust my set up so that the 60 hz is my second monitor and my 144 hz is my main one.

It seems like I should be able to do this, and maybe have to bump down my 144 hz to 120 hz to fix issues with lagginess.

But I have a GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC edition, which has 2 DVI-D Dual Link ports, 1 HDMI port, and 1 DisplayPort. I plan to use the DisplayPort on the 144 hz and the HDMI on the 60 Hz monitor. Is there a problem with using different cables for different monitors in a dual set-up? And while I'm asking, are there any problems otherwise with this plan?

Thanks guys. Looking forward to your answers

Yes, you can do that.

There is zero issue with that setup.

I use a 1440p, 144hz monitor as my primary connected with DP and a 1080p, 60hz secondary monitor connected with HDMI and I have no issues. I do not have to decrease the refresh rate on my 1440p monitor.

Yes, you can do that.

Cool. Thanks. It's my first time setting up a dual-screen set up so I just wanted to make sure I didn't royally mess something up
