I don't think it's possible to hit 144hz without display port? Unless it's HDMI 2.0? But even with HDMI 2.0 I don't think it'll work with 144hz.

I would use DVI for 1 and a DisplayPort to DVI for the other

Specs:

 Gaming PC: i5 3570, 16GB 1600MHz, GTX 780 3GB, Transcend 128GB, WD 500GB, Seagate 500GB, Thermaltake 600W Smart, S340 w/ RGB, Windows 10 Pro

 Server: Xeon E5 2650, 12GB 1600MHz ECC, 8400GS, WD 2TB + 1TB + 1TB, EVGA 500B 500W, Windows 10 Pro

 Laptop: Macbook Pro Retina 2013, i7 4558U, 8GB 1600MHz, Intel Iris Pro 1.5GB, Apple 256GB NVME, Mojave

 

 Internet: $70/month For 500/100, Actually get 525/102

I believe (correct me if im wrong) older monitors use DVI Dual-link for 144hz

DL DVI and HDMI if the card and monitors support 144Hz over HDMI.

DL DVI and HDMI can both do 144Hz just fine, though that will also depend on the resolution.

Display port is  a good choise

Not really any point in buying DP adaptors when DVI and HDMI may be able to do it without the need for adaptors. 

 

@Danny7811What GPU and monitors do you have specifically?

I use both the DVI, DP and HDMI port on my monitor, for three separate computers (one webstation Linux, one power efficient Windows machine and my gaming rig) all running at 144Hz so whatever tickles your pickle will do just fine

My Gaming PC: 27833
