dvi to displayport

[Enokkio]

My 1050ti only has a dvi port, so the question is if i have a dvi to displayport adaptor will i be able to use a 144hz monitor at 144hz assuming i get the fps in the game.

You can't do it like that, unfortunately:

Can I use a DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI passive adapter / cable?

 

No. DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI passive adapters / cables do not actually exist. Even though most DisplayPort to DVI adapters you see for sale are labeled as "Dual-Link", all of these are fake, they are only Single-Link DVI adapters in disguise.

The DisplayPort connector has 20 pins, which means it can be used as a Single-Link DVI-D port via a passive adapter. However, Dual-Link DVI requires 25 pins, so a DisplayPort connector does not have enough pins to emulate a Dual-Link DVI connection. The additional DVI pins on "DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI" adapters are not connected to anything at all, they are just for show, for marketing purposes. It is nothing but a Single-Link DVI-D adapter dressed up to appear like a Dual-Link DVI-D adapter.

 

So your monitor only has Displayport and your GPU only has DVI?

Are you sure there are no other ports on either side? HDMI sometimes has the ability to do 120Hz+
