[SOLVED] DVI no signal when changing refresh rate

[Saury]

Everytime I change my refresh rate in nvidia control panel, custom resolution, my screen goes black then says "DVI No Signal" then returns back to normal. I am trying to change my refresh rate to 144hz 1920 x 1080.

Gt 1030's DVI port is only Single Link im afraid. 120/144Hz requires Dual Link DVI.

On the picture of the graphics card there is a dvi d dual link port though

Pins are there but behind the plug, the necessary pins required aren't connected.

really wow
does hdmi 2.0 work for 144hz @ 1920 x 1080?

 

[boju]

Hdmi from the graphics card can but depends if the manufacturer of the monitor enabled the ability to receive over 60. Not every Hdmi monitor can achieve over 60Hz albeit it's quite common nowadays with modern monitors.

Do you have any suggestions on which hdmi 2.0 cable I should get?

 

[boju]

Any Hdmi high speed cable will do, though this won't change anything if your monitor can't handle over 60Hz.

Yeah thanks. I edited post after seeing you had monitor linked in your op.

ASUS VG248QE for 144Hz needs DP or DVI DL. It's a good monitor so wouldn't change that. Suggestion, replace the graphics card for a Gtx 1050 or Rx 560 with Displayport.

Did your monitor come with a Displayport cable?

If you consider changing the graphics card for Displayport, get this cable.

Sorry for the bad news.

Hdmi 2 cable won't work unfortunately. Your monitor has Hdmi 1.4 actually. Though, there are Hdmi 1.4 monitors able to do 144Hz but Asus didn't allow it on yours.
