dvi to display port?

Eugene The Gentleman · February 17, 2020

Hey peeps

So i got myself a new gaming computer. Sadly though that my RTX 2060 doesn't support dvi. And my gaming monitor from ben-q doesn't support 144hz though HDMI for some reason. (yeah its probably 4 years old now)
So the only output on my monitor that does support 144hz is dvi, and my graphics card only has display port and hdmi outputs. I tried buying a dvi to hdmi adapter, but it only does 1080p 60hz. Any ideas? id rather not buy a new monitor this one works fine :/

You need Dual Link DVI cable.

You can convert the Displayport signal to Dual Link DVI with adapter.

Remember to have the Dual link, otherwise it's capped at 75hz.
