Which Display Connector for 144Hz 1080p

Tyerker · Jul 8, 2015

Just got the Acer 144Hz 1080p monitor in the mail yesterday. It does NOT have a Displayport (which I knew when I purchased it).

I have tried doing some research, and it appears that Dual Link DVI would only support up to 85Hz. Is this correct? I would need to use HDMI to actually output 144Hz @ 1080p?

HDMI can properly handle it, though, right? Or did I just waste my money since it doesn't have Displayport?

What HDMI revision is your GPU?

I can't seem to find what version of HDMI it's using... It's an EVGA 780ti Classified. I have a 1.4a cable, but can't seem to find what the port on the card is.

Hmm, I'd say since you have the cable to just try and see if it works.
HDMI will have a better chance than DVI for sure.

HDMI is unable to do 144Hz in any revision. Dual link DVI cable is what you would need if not using Displayport.

Thank you for the heads up. I have found so much hit or miss / conflicting data online. From what I was able to glean out of all of it, it looked like HDMI could only do about 80 Hz @ 1080p. So Dual-Link it is.

Well take it from someone using 120 and 144Hz panels

HDMI = no go
