Is there a possible way I can get 120-144hz?

Hello, I have an Acer gn246hl, a 144 hz 1920x1080 LCD monitor. I'm looking to buy the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 as soon as it drops on the 28th. The Vega has 4 ports, one HDMI 2.1, and three Display Ports. The issue is that my monitor only has DVI-D, VGA, and HDMI 2.0 ports. I could use HDMI, but I do not know if 2.0 supports 120hz because I've looked elsewhere and I'm getting really mixed respones. Its a big deal for me to get the 120-144hz because I've spoiled myself with the high frames using the DVI-D connector connected to my RX 580, lower frames are hard for me to play with because it feels so choppy.

Another option is to use a Displayport to DVI-D connector, but they only support up to 60hz as well.

Is there a third option here or is there just no way for me to get 144hz?

HDMI 2.0 has enough bandwidth to support 1080p 144Hz. HDMI 1.4 has enough to do at least 1080p 120Hz. So you could try, but I make no guarantees.

 

( Also what the hell is a "gaming monitor" doing without a display port?)

If HDMI fails you can just use an DP to DVI-D active adapter (though it shouldn't)

All the Display Port money went to the R&D on that 100,000,000:1 contrast ratio on a TN

I was going to blame whoever in charge ordered a bunch of VGA ports and Acer is all "well, we better use them"
