[SOLVED] Is my GPU (RX 470 Mining Edition) capable of 144hz?

[n8than26]

Greetings! I have a newbie question..
So I have an old mining GPU that I use for at least 3 years for now..
It's a Powercolor RX 470 Red Dragon Mining Edition that only have 1 DVI-D Output, and I'm using an DVI-D to HDMI Adapter..
I've been using it for Editing videos and competitive gaming.. and planning to upgrade my monitor to AOC 27G2 or 24G2.
But is my GPU capable of 144hz refresh rate @1080p?

Technically you should be able to use RX470 with 144Hz up to 1080p resolution via DVI-D to DisplayPort or DVI-D to HDMI adapter. Also monitor must support AMD FreeSync over DisplayPort or HDMI. Although in reality your chances are very slim. You need active adapter for DVI-D conversion to DP or HDMI - passive adapters will not work. Active ones are very rare and expensive. In your case I would not bother about cabling, but would look for a chance to get decent GPU with proper variable frame rate support instead.

Okay, thank you for the response. I don't really get about Passive and Active adapter.. But, I'm currently using these kind of adapter to my current monitor and it's working properly now.. is that gonna work to my new monitor too?

Up to 60 Hz - yes. Above it - dunno. But you can try.

Hmmm.. well, I think I should borrow someone's monitor that have high refresh rate.. lol, Thanks for the help btw

And monitor which you borrow, need also FreeSync support over HDMI
