Displays usually come with cables, not GPUs. Also, you should've looked at the listing of what the box contains.

Yes, any DP cable will work with this combo. You dont need a specific cable model for that. Will be just fine

Bought 1660 super MSI gaming X and they didnt bother including any fucking cables, now im stuck again without being able to play. I already risked it buying something during quarantine for nothing. FUCK these guys, what was so difficult about adding some cables? my last GPU is from 2012, I have mini display port, what teh fuck did I know , fuck them all.

You realize this is your error not theirs, right?

 

As above, cables come with monitors not GPU's.  I am certain you didn't get a cable with your 2012 GPU, so why expect one with this GPU?

DP 1.4 is backwards compatible with older DP cables. If you're not playing at 4K, no need to worry

Look in the back of your monitor and see exactly what connectors you have.

 

The page you linked to says the monitor has 2 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort

 

Your  video card should have at least one HDMI connector so IF your monitor has HDMI, maybe it would be better to buy a HDMI cable.

HDMI cables should be more common and easier to find even in local stores, as they're used with TVs, with blurays and all kinds of things.

 

Video cards don't come with video cables, and even monitors often come without cables.

...display cables aren't included with GPUs.

 

Also, status update bro.

But in all seriousness, like other said, the displayport cable you have will work just fine, if not, any recent HDMI cable will do ... hell, even a Dual-Link DVI-D cable will push 144Hz @ 1080p.

 

 

OP, I suggest you look into things like this before going on a rant, knowing what you buy, and what is or isn't included should be part of the pre-purchase research ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HDMI to HDMI, HDMI to DP or DP to DP, the cables will work so there is no need to worry. older or newer cables will work with anything that has one of the three listed above because its literally just an electrical signal from the GPU to the monitor. I am currently using a cable I got from my first xbox 360 (2008) as a cable from my computer to my TV as I have that as my monitor so no need to worry.
