DVI Problem

[Maxinity]

I bought a pretty old BenQ monitor (XL2411T 2012) that can run 120hz and maybe even 144hz? The guy who sent me the monitor only game me a HDMI cable which does not allow me to reach anything above 60hz, so I used my own DVI cable (Yes its dual link) and all I get is a distorted and blurry screen on anything above 60hz with a message that says "Use the DVI Dual link cable that came with the monitor" can anyone recommend me a DVI cable that will work? I've read that CPO, BENFEI, Cable Matters and AmazonBasics DVI Cables work but some reviews say otherwise, please I really need help

 

TL;DR: What DVI Cable should I get for my XL2411T? (Don't have DisplayPort)

Your video card must also have a DualLink DVI connector ... some newer video cards may only have DVI Single Link.
