device that can switch between 2 PC's while using the same monitor

katka

I'm looking for a device that can allow me to switch between 2 pc's while using the same 144 hz monitor. I've checked online and there are these cool devices called KVM's that can switch between screens using a button BUT none of them cand send 144 hz and most of them have VGA ports. Because my monitor is 144 hz, one PC will be connected via display port to that device and the other via HDM and I want it to be able to send full video 144 hz because one pc is for gaming and the other only for editing (job related). is there such thing? waiting for reply thanks.

thanks bud.

one more question, will I have any ghosting or latency delay or something if I use this kvm for gaming instead of my monitor being connected directly to my gpu? 

or there's no such thing

Any true DisplayPort 1.4 KVM switch can support up to 4K144hz high refresh rate, if both shared monitor and the GPU on connected systems can  support the same version of DisplayPort 1.4 DSC (compression) protocol.  Of cause, you also need very good DisplayPort cables even fiber optical DisplayPort cables to make sure the line of connections are DP 1.4 ready.
