Nope. Doesn't work as dual link despite the pins. You'll need an active converter for >60Hz.

Damn it, they are so expensive. Wish the monitor didnt have only dvi and hdmi, which version of HDMI do I need for 144hz 1080p?

That's a Single-Link DVI adapter, it won't work for 144 Hz.

Some monitors support high-speed Single-Link signals (340 MHz) through the DVI port, but this is uncommon and not implemented on any 1080p 144 Hz monitors that I know of.

i had 3 xfx ones that worked for a bit on 1440p surround and died, then ordered cables lol, got rid of those monitors and decided on 1080p surround at 144hz

thx for the knowledge was wondering why I always had issues then

really havent looked into it again til I seen this post
