Hey guys,

I would like your help regardin the following issue:

I have an AMD RADEON RX470 with only 1 DVI Port. So, I bought a new monitor a few weeks ago (AOC C24G1) and it doesn't have any DVI port on it (only HDMI and Displayport). Therefore I cant reach 144 Hz because I'm already using an adapter (DVI --> HDMI).
Are there any specific cables that I can use? I mean, DVI to Displayport or whatever?

Thanks a lot
 
This is a tricky situation, I was in this circumstance as well. I tried many adapters but many of them didn't work. I even tried an adapter that was more than $100 but that didn't even work. I had to wait until I got a new graphics card that had a DisplayPort to get 144hz.

That's what I was afraid of. Anyway, thanks mate 😁
