New GPU and Display port questions

-1nf1n1ty- · Jan 19, 2019

So I recently bought a new GPU which should get here Wednesday, but I noticed that it only has display ports. My monitor is the BenQ XL2411Z at 144hz. Before I consider canceling the GPU I Ordered, will a cable such as this one work at 144hz? I couldnt find a definitive answer so I thought posting on here could help. Thanks
EDIT: Should mention I am getting the GPU on Amazon cause I didnt know how long it would take to get it from Nvidia, never ordered from them before.

EDIT2: I cancelled the zotac amp to get the reference from nvidia as I didn't want to also buy another monitor etc etc. thanks for everyone that helped guess I'll have to learn to over clock to get the same performance the zotac had

Zotac 2060 amp. I would but I don’t want to buy new monitors. Can this cable help me get at least 120hz?

Buy the hdmi to DP cable I linked above. your monitor should have a hdmi port. or did i miss something when I googled your monitor? Monoprice/Amazon maybe cheaper for DP to HDMI cable If you have a microcenter there you can grab a good one there too.

Will my refresh rate problem be fixed? I am hoping for 144 or 120 since that’s what my monitor is capable of

~~For 144 Hz, you'll need DP or dual-link DVI. Just get this cable and be over it.~~

Your monitor only supports 144 Hz via DVI-DL and doesn't have DP input. You'll need DP to DVI-DL adapter.

So i take it you tweaked the setting under windows display properties? Or even the monitor? They were set for 120 or 144? What were you getting before?
A Proper Quality cable should fix that issue. I had my 390 pushing 144mhz refresh on my Acer XF270H monitor.

@Regeneration If you googled the Monitor you would have read that he has no DP port on monitor. Alittle research first before firing off suggestions. DP to HDMI cable I linked will work and he can find it on Amazon or ebay. Just buy a quality cable. I see you edited your response.

HDMI will not work. That monitor accepts 144 Hz only via DVI-DL.

OP will need DP to dual-link DVI adapter, or HDMI 2.0 to dual-link DVI cable, but that's not guaranteed to work.

I will stand corrected after reading the whole spec sheet from Benq, yes the DVI-DL will work. HDMI will go to 80/83. sorry @-1nf1n1ty- for leading you to the hdmi cable the club3d dp to dvi-dl cable will work better for your stated refresh. But I digress to the settings of the monitor. Did you set the monitor refresh in both Windows/Adapter settings and on the monitor itself?

I think you're missing the issue lol. I am getting a new GPU, I already am using 144hz on my current GPU which is an R9 390 I know how to set it all up, I am trying to figure out once I get my new GPU that only has DP and HDMI, is there a way to achieve 144hz without having to purchase a new monitor? My monitor does NOT have display ports, it has a DVI-DL and HDMI. IF its more trouble than its worth should I cancel my order and get the one from Nvidia instead?

edit: I think it's too late to return the item anyway....awesome

the one from nvidia will have the exact same outputs, I would keep the gpu and try to advance to a modern monitor, try to sell yours or trade it in with a computer store.

The one from nvidia will actually have a dvi-dl output

edit: I was able to cancel it until I can figure out what to do
