Should I use dual link DVI-D or DisplayPort for a 144hz 1080p monitor?

[Michael Rahmani]

I just got a 1080p 144hz monitor (Asus vg248qe) and it only came with a dual link DVI-D cable and no DisplayPort cable. I was wondering if it makes any difference at all, if I use DVI-D instead of DisplayPort. Is the quality all still the same?

Yes it does.

My brother's 144Hz monitor supports it through DVI. Don't see why OP's wouldn't.

Alright thanks. I'm gonna use dual link DVI-D until I get a DisplayPort cable. Do you think the difference in color depth is huge or only a slight difference?
