170HZ DP/HDMI

I am looking at purchasing a new monitor after just moving over to PC - I am stuck between the Acer Predator 1440p IPS 165hz and the ASUS StriX 1440p IPS 170hz. 
 

I am leaning more towards the ASUS - (I am also running a StriX 2080TI) 

 

My question is - both monitors seem to have a DP 1.2 and HDMi 2.0 

 

From what I have read the DP 1.2 only allows 144hz and same with the HDMi 2.0... so what cable am I needing to use the full 170hz on the ASUS monitor - (or am I thinking to deep because the monitors are 144hz but overclocked to 165/170hz respectively) 

 

or is the overclocking a sham with them as they dont have the required ports? 
 

Will a 144hz DP cable or 2.0 premium HDMi that state 144hz at 1440p work at 1440p on 165/170hz? 
 

If not what cable is needed? 
 

What DP/HDMi port is on the StriX 2080TI? 
 

Help :(
