Sorry for the potentially very nooby question, but I keep seeing online that a dvi dual link cable supports 144hz at 1080p. does this mean that i'll have to lower my in game resolution to 1080 instead of 1920 to benefit from having a 144hz monitor? i'm planning on buying the BenQ XL2411Z if it makes a difference. Also, i've though about using displayport, but i don't believe that the benq monitor mentioned supports it. If anyone has any insight or other monitor suggestions, I'll highly appriciate it.
