What cable to use for 1080p 240hz?

[matthew4mckeever]

Hey guys
Just curious
What cable would be suitable for a resolution of 1920x1080 at 240hz?
I've heard DisplayPort 1.3 or above, but I cant seem to find a DisplayPort 1.3 cable, can someone link one at a decent price?
Also is there any HDMI cables that support it?

Just use the cable that comes with the monitor, it will likly be be display port 1.2 which will support 1080p 240hz. HDMI 2.0 might support 1080p 240hz not sure, if the monitor and your gpu has HDMI 2.0 support. However if it is a gsync monitor you will have to use display port to support gsync.

You don't need DisplayPort 1.3, only 1.2. See here:
