[THE LAST FURIAN]

(pain lol) I seen the box of the monitor so I said frig it I'll get the DP cable outta the box cause I always seen linas using dp cables and he's says there better.So I've hooked it up fired up a game all on same ultra settings I never changed anything and jesus it's bad grainy/glitchy/teary picture. Have I done something wrong is it a bad cable at this rate I'm giving up on it any help would be greatful thanks in advance.

If it works fine with HDMI either your display port cable is dead or the monitor display port is dead. Buy a new cable and see if not the port is dead.

Also forgot to add my gpu has dp1.4 and I think my monitor is only at 1.2 would that make the difference do you think

No.

[Mark Kaine]

Yes. 

 

throw it away dp sucks, doesn't even have a license... they only put it in cause it's royalty free, otherwise there would be no "dp".

It was the DP cable after all thanks for the help guys/gals on a second note is dp not better for overclocking the screen?
