dp to dvi 144hz without spending £100+

[Goody1996]

so i have a gtx 1660ti and i manged to pick up an acer GN246HL for £70

 

my problem is the gtx 1660 ti has 2 x dp and 2 x hdmi

 

the monitor only supports 144hz on the dvi

 

the only solution i have found is a dual link dp to dvi which is very expensive is their another option 

 

any response is much appreciated

Sorry for the late response but I found the answer although I don’t use it any more you need a dual link dvi cable so Bassicaly a dvi to display port (powered) they are very exspensive I found one on eBay for £60 and I can confirm it works.
