So my video card doesn't have dvi, it has DisplayPort and HDMI. My monitor doesn't have displayPort. They both have HDMI but I've heard HDMI can't output 144MHz. So can I get 144 fps in games or not.

Sorry thought that conveter cable would be able thinking since dvi can output 144hz there wouldn't be a drama, i was wrong sorry. looks like there's more involved and for a proper converter that is limited to 120hz is a bit costly. I don't think 144hz is possible. The two different brands above specifie 120hz.

Either those or find something cheaper or consider getting another monitor im afraid.

No problem, I ended up returning the monitor and got a slightly better one for about 20 more dollars and it has free sync. Thanks for the help though!
 


Probably will, I got the rx 480 for 150 bucks, if it AMD stays in this price range with similar performance no reason to change.
