I just got a 144hz monitor, but Best Buy only had a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. Would that be able to handle the full 144hz? Or should I return it and buy a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable online?

Ok, hdmi 1.4 doesn't support over 60hz. You need dual link dvi or DP

That sucks... I need to return the DP to HDMI cable now.

www.monoprice.com is a great little place for cheap cables along with the seller CableMatters on Amazon Marketplace.
