Hi All,

My monitor only offers DVI-D / HDMI / VGA.

My rig has a USB-C / HDMI / MiniDP 1.2 ports.

anyone know of working adapters/cables to support 144hz at 1080p? trying to find a combo is proving tricky.....is it easier to just buy a new monitor lol.

regards
Adam

the monitor i have is a BenQ XL2411 - im currently using just a HDMI to HDMI cable at 60Hz
Have you tried adjusting it to 144Hz?

Ah, the monitor HDMI is very old so doesn't support 144Hz.

You have to use the DVI port on the monitor for 144Hz, so you'd need a mini DP to DVI or HDMI to DVI.

Something like this should do:


The plug that into the monitor and then use HDMI from the laptop to the DVI-d

Hmm ill give it shot - might take a few days for results.

i was under the impression HDMI could not deliver support 144hz? after various googling tho maybe thats just at higher resolutions like 4k...

Ah, actually you're right, it can only support 120Hz.

You'd have to go DVI-D to mini DP then like this:
