Cant play on 144hz somehow? i need your help <3 !

[ereeo]

Hello LinusTechTips Community, i have the following problem my Graphicscard (Gigabyte RTX 2060) has HDMI And DisplayPort but no DVI and my Display (BenQ XL2411) has DVI, VGA, HDMI. Today i was at the store and the seller told me that i can reach up to 120-144Hz with a new hdmi cable so i bought the the cable he suggested a DINIC Premium Cable that supports 4K2K Quality 3D and more the guy also said it supports 120Hz for sure and then i come home and nothing changes first it says my maximum hz amount is 60. Then i tried to create a custom res which worked first i can go up to 90hz but its still not 120 - 144Hz if i go higher than 90 i get a bluescreen and it changes back to my old res, i really dont know what to do is  there any way to get more than 90Hz? The res is use is 1920x1080.

 

At somepoint it worked to create a custom res with 120hz and when i tried to use it the res automatically changed back to 90hz i dont know whats wrong i am freaking clueless and really need your help guys, and sry for my bad english <.<

Are there any refresh rate settings inside the OSD of the display?

[thinwalrus]

Use display port. That monitor might not support 144Hz from hdmi.

Mate your monitor is too old for such a new GPU, you will have issues without an active Display Port to DVI-D Dual Link adapter to achieve 144hz.

 

This has been a big time issue around since RTX launched as many like yourself decided to upgrade with considerably old displays.

 

Things you can do with your pointless bought brand new HDMI cable is go to nVidia contorl panel and try to overclock the refresh rate manually and see how far it goes, cheers.

Displayport or DVI-D for 144hz

Scroll down to PC resolution. For some dumb reason nVidia sorts broadcast resolutions at the top, then PC resolutions at the bottom.

Aah I did a quick google search and looked at 2411p  

 

You will need to use dual-link dvi for high refresh rate. Either buy an active adapter(expensive and hard to find reliable ones), swap to a card that has dvi-dl or swap the monitor.

1400x900 is the highest it supports, what a bad joke...

To use the 144Hz you need to use a dual link DVI cable. Since your GPU doesn't have a DVI you have to convert a DisplayPort to DL DVI.

Luckily, the adapters are cheap and work flawlessly. As for the guy who scammed you with the cable, I don't think it was intentional, I'd say he was misinformed.

It's 1080p 144hz. HDMI 2.0 can handle that just fine. He needs to select the actual PC resolutions instead of the "TV type" resolutions that are at the top of the nividia list.

How expensive is it ? and swaping is not a option right now <,<

could you send me a link of a DP to DL DVI adapter which supports 144hz i cant really find one the descriptions doesnt give any information about how much hz it supports

But his monitor does not have HDMI 2.0.

But there is no 1920x1080 at PC Resolutions thats my problem

iirc, HDMI 1.4a is technically the first standard to support 1080p 120hz ( and I think 144hz)

Either way, if BenQ sold a monitor with only one interface that can reach it's full res and speed I'd be pissed. I would hope the monitor has at least 1.4b

It's either of these for 144hz, if there's an option to i would return either for one that has the other connector, otherwise you can use active adapters, but they're around 100$

This means =? there is no chance to reach 120hz?

i heard the cheap ones doesnt support 120-144hz and i dont find any that supports 120-144

If it's a DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI then it supports 144 Hz.

 

It's cheap compared to replacing the monitor or the graphics card.

After doing some more research, you have to use the DVI port on the monitor to get 144 hz. Displayport to dual link DVI and and Dual link DVI cable is probably your best option.
