Cable Matters/Infinite Cables worth it?

[ognicholaicheck]

I'm running two older monitors from a laptop via USB-C to a Ugreen dock, then HDMI-to-DVI cable to one monitor and HDMI-to-DVI-adapter to the other. Would it be worth upgrading the cables to something like Cable Matters or Infinite Cables if I'm not seeing any issues beyond some screen tearing in YouTube and one of my games, both of which might be due to Nvidia-on-Linux weirdness?

For most digital signals, it's either "working as intended" or it's not working at all. (Or worse, it's intermittently flashing / flickering.) Buying "upgraded" cables for digital signals isn't really necessary unless you're experiencing some kind of problem due to the existing cables.
