I have the ASUS VG248QE. Everytime I switch my monitor to 144hz it informs me that I need to use a dual link DVI cable. None of my cables seem to work so if i bought a dual link cable would it fix the problem?

looking at https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DVI-D-Ferrites/dp/B007NJ0S1W/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&qid=1481408293&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=dual+link+dvi+cable&psc=1&
 
Solution
Dual link is needed to run at higher resolutions than 1080P.
I imagine in part because dual link is needed to deliver higher bandwidth.
Of course, you also need a dual link capable output on your graphics card.
