trying to find a 1080p 144hz cable..

[patrickojuhl]

im really not sure what cable i should buy and if it's gonna be compatible, i have a BenQ ZOWIE 24" LED XL2411 and 1080Ti. Could anyone help me find a cable that can run 144hz 1080p which is also compatible why my GPU and monitor

I think it comes with a DVI-DL cable which supports 144hz. If not you will need to buy this cable as long as your 1080 ti supports that connection as that's the only connection that monitor has that supports 144hz.

Does indeed, but with the 1080Ti it doesn't support a DVI cable

Which model do you have? My 1080 ti Hybrid supports it.

Displayport.

Displayport.

Unfortunately that model of monitor doesn't support it.

The asus one i guess, i has 2x hdmi and 2x display port. but my monitor doesn't support display port, is it possible to get a hdmi that can do 144hz?

Ugh - sorry. Stunning that anyone would make a high refresh monitor without DP.

No HDMI, I think your going to need a active adapter such as this...

I thought about getting it, but will it support 144hz using the adapter then?

 

[WildCard999]

The active adapter should support the full 144hz.

Any quality hdmi cable will do 1080p/144hz with hdmi 1.3 and higher so you should be good.

Edit: nevermind - this is jacked up but have to get a converter. Remind me not to buy BenQ...

I read the questions for it on the amazon, it doesn't. Not sure what to do lol

Some say yes, others say no which I know doesn't help.

Since it's a active adapter it should give you those speeds once connected and set to the correct speed in Nvidia Control Panel.

Worst case scenario you end up returning it and having to look at getting a new monitor.

Thanks bud, kinda sucks that i have to look into a new monitor but thats just me not being proactive looking for that stuff. Thanks for the help!

Well try the adapter first before considering a new monitor. If you do look into a new monitor consider a ultra wide 21:9 screen, I just bought one (LG/29"/2560x1080P/75hz/IPS) for my system and I absolutely love it. They do make a larger 34" version that's 144hz.
