[SOLVED] Having issues with my GN246HL monitor from acer 144hz

[Sandwich_OW]

Hello I got this monitor 6 months ago to pair with my gtx 1050ti and i7 8700 but then when I got a RTX 2060 there were only hdmi and dp which my monitor does not support 144hz output but the dvi has 144hz so I was using that but after getting the new card im having issues anybody know a way to play 144hz on my monitor or do I have to spend 200 bucks for a new one?

Active DP to DVI is possible and the author of the above guide has tested and offer adapter suggestions but keep in mind they are pricey and can be unreliable.

DVI is being slowly phased out, perhaps think about a new monitor? An adapter could almost pay half of a new monitor.

since my monitor isnt old do you know a good place where I could sell the monitor

Maybe in the classified section here, read the rules first if you decide to have a go.

Ebay, Craigslist are possibilities. Maybe sell to a friend.
