Do cable adapters affect my monitors FPS?

It won't affect FPS, as in the performance of your PC, but it can affect the Hz your monitor can run at.

Let's say you have a 144Hz monitor, but use an adapter that can only do 60Hz, it would of course impact that Hz (refresh rate).

What monitor, connections and adapter would you use?

ok i got a Acer GD235HZ off of Facebook market place but my CPU only lets me use my 2060 display ports and it only has one HDMI and three display ports but the monitor can only do 120hz with the duel link DVI  how would I run at 120hz?

I think that monitor has an HDMI port. Why not just buy an HDMI cable?
