[p1k1p]

Hello guys, i have benq xl2411z monitor and sapphire 7970 graphic card, can this support 1080p at 144 hz and 4k resolution? I'm using dvi cable so 1440p is max resolution i can get with vsr

So with cable I linked I can do 4k 60hz and 1080p 144 hz? Just need to be sure

 

Thanks in advance

yes but your screen doesn't support 4k at all

wait you're talking about vsr, but your gpu isn't powerful enough to drive 4k60hz even in games like csgo

VSR is a form of anti-aliasing, it doesn't give you 4K support. It renders the game in 4K on the computer, downscales it to 1080p, and sends that 1080p image to the monitor. The signal leaving the graphics card is 1080p 60 Hz or 1080p 144 Hz, not 4K. This is known as SSAA, or Super-Sampled Anti-Aliasing, it's been around for a long long time. It's just been implemented as a global option and advertised with the "4K" buzz word because there's 4K involved somehow somewhere in the process, and that's what's popular thing these days.

 

Furthermore, I don't know why people here are saying that cable can support 4K 60 Hz. Even if it were a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converter (it isn't), the XL2411Z doesn't support HDMI 2.0. There would be no possible way to get 4K 60 Hz on that monitor, since none of the inputs it has are capable of receiving that signal, it wouldn't matter what converters you used to get there.
