[Danny7811]

Hello! I have two 144hz monitor and I wanna connect one monitor with one hdmi 2.0 and the other one with dvi but the monitor has dvi-i dual link and the graphics card support dvi-d dual link, so can I use a dvi-i to dvi-d cable does it still support 144hz?

 

my monitor has 1 dvi-i port, 1 hdmi port and one vga port

Oh but the dvi cable doesnt support sound so, can I use hdmi to two hdmi does it still support 144hz?

DVI-I and DVI-D are identical when it comes down to the digital output, only difference is that the I also carries analog signal if needed, therefore dual link DVI-D to dual link DVI-I will still provide you 1080p144hz.

HDMI will support 144Hz as well. You can also use DisplayPort if your GPU/monitor support that.

It depends on the HDMI revision, could buy a Dual Link DVI to HDMI cable like these:

 

 

They carry out sound, I was rather amazed when I first saw it work on my old GTX 560 Ti, connected DVI-I of the GPU on the HDMI of the TV and sound! much wow!

I feel like the gpu have to support audio out from the dvi port which i remember was a thing on old video cards but not sure if new ones still do that. 

much in the same way new gpu's no longer output analog signals via the dvi port

That was a feature of DVI-I which is present up to Maxwell cards, only Pascal ditched it for the DVI-D only.

I mean audio transmission via dvi i think isn't universal. At least that's how it is on my hd 2000-3000 series cards as back in the day those cards didn't have native hdmi , and nvidia gpu didn't either and needed audio passthrough from the motherboard before they started using their own onboard audio

Some DVI-D sources use non-standard extensions to output HDMI signals including audio (e.g. ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series).^[9] Some multimedia displays use a DVI to HDMI adapter to input the HDMI signal with audio. Exact capabilities vary by video card specifications.

basically i don't think modern gpu's output audio via dvi anymore now that they have native hdmi.

I'm running audio over dvi on 2 pascal cards right now.
