My monitor wont change to 144hz

[Bwezzy619]

I have the acer gn246hl 144hz 1080p 24" display. I recently just upgraded to a new pc and now rocking a rtx 2070 super. earlier in the day i bought a display port to dvi cable to change my monitor to 144hz ( https://imgur.com/gallery/Q1cG3zb?fbclid=IwAR3sWhvUm2uqrFbvg_97y3wVqxIFPNq9qJLXhAn6LW0pvecW-LNW3JpLKkQ ) I tried going through nivida control panel and advanced display settings and it wont let me go above 60hz. When i try changing it through nivida control panel i get a black screen then it says no signal. I tried download the driver but when when i try to install the profile nothing happens. I'm not using an displayport to dvi adpater with the original cable that came with the monitor. but nothing seems to help. When i check device manger my monitor reads as a generic pnp monitor which might be the issue but all the troublesoot methods I've tried through various forums and youtube hasn't solved me issue. With my old rig i had a gtx 970 and for some reason had no issue changing to 144hz it might be that 970 had a dvi port on the gpu?  https://imgur.com/gallery/H4NeUsW

 

Can someone please help me fix my issue

 

Ps. Im using the latest nivida drivers and versions of windows

Is DVI output on the cable Single Link Or Dual link?

 

Or to make it simple, which picture matches your cable output

Yes, your GPU only has modern output, meaning HDMI and DisplayPort. The question was about your adapter, that converts DisplayPort to DVI. Is it an active dual-link adapter, like this: https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-DisplayPort-DVI-D-Active-Adapter/dp/B00DYRQXMK/

 

You need dual-link DVI for anything over 60 Hz. Or you need a (modern) monitor, that has DisplayPort/HDMI that can do more than 60 Hz over these inputs.

in the reviews it says it does not work well with my monitor

 

I might go with this instead? https://www.belkin.com/us/p/p-f2cd002-e/
