[SOLVED] I need a 240 hz HDMI 10 ft cable

[OrangeButDumb]

So basically, I have a 2080 Super ASUS Advanced GPU. It only comes with 2 DisplayPorts and 2 HDMI ports. I'm looking into playing VR, and the Valve Index / Rift S requires a DisplayPort to power. Right now I am using my two DisplayPorts for my Monitors. Obviously the simple solution is to switch to the included HDMI cables in the box, but those aren't long enough. To get from my PC to my monitors cleanly, I need to have at least a 10 ft HDMI cables that can support 1080p 240hz.

I have looked almost everywhere for a solution, but I can't find anything.

I believe all you need to make sure is that the cable is rated at HDMI 2.0. Try https://www.newegg.com/HDMI-Cables/SubCategory/ID-2809?Tid=161577 and use the filter to narrow down the types.

Choose whichever length you need.

Just get any HDMI cable with a Premium High Speed certification.

Just get any HDMI cable with a Premium High-Speed certification.

I'm not the best with this stuff, so I would just like to clarify that this will not change or alter any performance whatsoever.

1080p 240 Hz requires 18 Gbit/s speed. Premium High Speed is the certification given to cables that have been tested at 18 Gbit/s. So that is what you are looking for.

You can get non-certified cables or lower rated cables (High Speed), and they often work at 18 Gbit/s just fine, but there is no guarantee.

Question: are you sure this is a model that supports high refresh over HDMI?

Because Acer's website:

NewEgg's specs:

The manual:

None of these give any indication that this monitor can do more than 60 Hz with HDMI. People gave advice, but they didn't have the exact monitor model, which you didn't provide until incidentally doing so in your screenshot.

Indeed, I assumed you actually had a monitor that supported 240 Hz over HDMI :/

G-Sync monitors are hard-limited to 60 Hz over HDMI at all resolutions. You need to use DisplayPort for G-Sync monitors.
