Question My new gpu doesn't have DVI but my monitor only has 144hz on DVI

[SophieTheMeh]

My gpu doesnt have a DVI port, yet my monitor only supports 144hz through DVI, and not HDMI/VGA (which are the other two connectors it has) so currently I'm stuck at 60hz. My motherboard has a DVI port but I don't want it to go off of my CPU, is there a setting to change that or am I screwed for now?

Buy the new GPU or just play the game in 60hz, sorry.

There are HDMI to dual link DVI -- https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Dual-Active-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00A493CNY That are supposed to support greater than 60hz. I have no first hand knowledge and a $100+ price for the adapter makes a new monitor much more appealing.

There are active Displayport to DVI adapters that can output 75-100hz that are no less than $50. There are some in the $100-150 range that can do 120-144hz, but they are extremely hard to find for sale anywhere. You may be better off returning the graphics card and getting one that has a DVI output. What model graphics card did you buy?
