Question Does a DisplayPort cable work with the rx580?

[Lodge1234]

I’m trying to get a 144hz monitor and I was wondering whether a display port cable works with the rx580 as previously I brought a 144hz that would only display 144hz with dvi but unfortunately dvi is not compatible with the rx580

Entirely depends on the card you have, but typically it'll have either 1-2 HDMI & 2-3 DP. Would need to know the make of your card to know the exact configuration. (EVGA, MSI, Asus etc..) Some, like the MSI version, has 1 DVI, 2 HDMI & 2 DP.

Look here for generic pics of the different types. Look on your card and match the shape.

Thank you for responding to my question. My Card is from ASUS. Also I have a dvi port in the back of my pc but because my Rx580 doesn’t support dvi I cannot get 144hz so I was wondering if I get a new monitor that uses DisplayPort to get 144hz and ignite my GPU will support that

Is this your card or this one? Both have DVI-D. Do you mean your monitor does not have a DVI port? Here is a good read on DVI & 144hz. As long as your monitor has a DP port AND can support 144hz at the given resolution you want, then yes, your 580 will work as both of the cards I linked to have a DP port. What type of monitor do you have? Need exact name & model to verify max res & hz.

If you have the above 2 cards,

Your 580 has a DP, your monitor does not. It has a x1 VGA, DVI-in & HDMI.
Here is a good Article and here. Does the owners manual tell you which cable to use to achieve 144? DVI or HDMI? It'll tell you which one to use. You can also download the manual directly from Acer if you can't find it.

I think you might be exceeding the clock rate of a DVI-D (Dual Link) connection.

The data rate limit is 7.92 Gbit/s. So 1920x1080x144x24 = 7.166 Gbit/s. If you are pushing 32 bit pixels or 10 bit color depth, you're over your bandwidth.

Example display modes (dual link):

• QXGA (2048 × 1536) @ 72 Hz with CVT blanking (2 × 163 MHz)
• HDTV (1920 × 1080) @ 120 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 × 143 MHz)
• WUXGA (1920 × 1200) @ 120 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 × 154 MHz)
• WQXGA (2560 × 1600) @ 60 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 × 135 MHz)
• WQUXGA (3840 × 2400) @ 30 Hz with CVT-RB blanking (2 × 146 MHz)
