What ports does the NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB have?

[usernameisnoname]

I'm looking for a 144hz gaming monitor that's compatible with NVIDIA 1060. I don't want to make the same mistake I made last time and buy one which doesn't connect to the graphics card.

If you have any suggestions for a monitor as well, those would be appreciated.

This is the user manual. It says DVI but doesn't specify which type if that makes a difference. It also says hdmi and vga but im not sure if those support 144hz

Only DVI and DisplayPort will support 144hz.

No. It doesn't say that. Nvidia dropped support for VGA with this series of cards. Look at page six. Display port x3, HDMI, and DVI-D. It doesn't say DVI-D, but I assure you it's a DVI-D and not a DVI-I port. As mentioned above this can vary depending on the model you buy. But this is the standard layout.

You get 144Hz by using DVI or DP. The HDMI port might work, but the other two are more common. The monitor you get can matter. If it has an HDMI 1.2 port it won't do 144Hz. (From what I know you need an HDMI 2.0 port for 144Hz, and even then it might not work.) If you stick with DP or DVI you should be fine.

Okay thank's for the help. Does it matter which type of DVI is? or that doesn't make a difference?
Sorry if i'm asking stupid questions.

It does matter. DVI-I was the most common up until recently. The I stands for "integrated". I carried both an analog and digital signal. You know those DVI to VGA adapters that video cards came with for years? With a DVI-I port those work just fine. Support for DVI-I has ended and now cards come with DVI-D ports. Digital only. If you have a monitor that has only VGA on it, these won't work. You'll need an active DVI to VGA adapter to make new cards work with those monitors. I moved to DVI monitors years ago so as did I thought most others. If you are still on VGA, the 10 series cards from nvidia are going to require extra parts to make them work.
