zotac gtx 1080 amp extreme and cable for 144hz monitor

[ahmadbagja28]

After I searched the internet about this kind of situation, I still got confused,
Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme has 3x displayport 1,4 which shown on their official website:

"https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1080-amp-extreme#spec"

And my question is:
1. Should I buy the displayport 1.4? Or the displayport 1.2 is enough? (to get that 144Hz display) and what is the different from 1.2 to 1.4?
2. Can anyone tell me how to install that cable from when beginning to the end? (when the cable is not attached until my display setting shown 144Hz on monitor)

I'm so confused about this.
Please help.

DisplayPort cables don't have "versions", only the ports do.

I never thought that Displayport is a brand and not the type of cable hahahah lol
But yes, it said that "there is no such thing as a DisplayPort 1.1 cable and DisplayPort 1.2 cable. A standard DisplayPort cable, including the so-call DisplayPort 1.1 cables, will work for any DisplayPort configuration including the new capabilities enabled by DisplayPort 1.2, including 4K and multi-stream capabilities. All standard DisplayPort cables support RBR, HBR (High Bit Rate), and HBR2 (High Bit Rate 2), which can support 4K at 60Hz, or up to four 1080p displays using multi-stream."
Hmm, and now there's 2 opposite answer..
Maybe I'll search the displayport cable anywhere availble near me.. and buy the cheapest one and see what happens..
Anyway thanks for helping me answer the question.. 😍

It's not a brand, that's the website of the creators of the DisplayPort standard
