Hi everyone. I recently bought a Dvi D cable to Dvi D (dual link) because i bought a 144hz screen. The cable claims to run at a max resolution of (2560 × 1600) 144 Hz.
researched for info about the matter, It seems to have something to do with the type of dvi cable. I know that Dvi d (dual link is supposed to run at max 1080p 144hz. I know that dvi (single link) wont be able to do so. My cable is a Dvi D (dual link) and i plugged it in to my graphics card which is a msi aero gt 1030 itx oc . The output to my gpu and my moniter looks like this https://image.ibb.co/b0BCPH/Untitled.png.
Please suggest what to do if i want to run 144hz with outputs from my gpu.
 
Solution
Thanks for the answer
So even if its says 120 hz in a low resolution its impossible to get 144hz?
and is there a way to get 144hz ?
It is not possible to get 144 Hz at 1080p. You can get high refresh rates at lower resolutions as long as it is within the bandwidth limit of single-link DVI.
