How To Get 144hz When GPU Only Has HDMI/DP

[kinetickonvict]

Hey All,

A little lost here... Hoping yall can help before I drop another 250-300 into another display.

I have a BenQ XL2411Z 144hz 1ms display. This display ONLY has HDMI / DVI outputs....

My 2nd monitor is BenQ GL2460HM - this one is NOT 144hz. I have this connected to Asus Strix 1080ti OC via HDMI.

The 1080ti only has HDMI / Display Port inputs.

How do I get my XL2411Z running at 144hz for gaming when my GPU has no DVI-D connection....?

I mean, i can plug DVI from XL2411Z to my motherboard but shouldnt I be running it to my 1080 ti?

Is there a DVI to DisplayPort that will allow me to keep the 144hz?

Please help. As of now I am pretty bummed I purchased this monitor. I cannot return it.

This one will work at 1080p 144 Hz.

So it looks like it will NOT allow you to get 144 Hz.

Yes I've seen that, just ignore it. I have tested the adapter personally, it does allow 1080p 144 Hz.

Ok then, if it worked for you.
