I researched around with these two digital display ports but I see mixed answers. My question is for a 144hz monitor @ 1080p, is there a difference between the two. I sometimes see answers that say that hdmi cannot handle 144hz but can 60hz. Is that true? I know that hdmi carries not only video signals but also audio but my main focus of this question is, can hdmi handle 144hz @1080p?

I'm guessing you are using the BenQ or ASUS, but HDMI will not be able to carry 144Hz, the best alternative is to use Displayport as it can carry 144Hz and still carry audio. The DVI option on the monitors will carry 144Hz as well but not carry audio, if you do not even use the audio on the monitor then this won't matter to you. (DVI=144Hz, no audio)(Displayport=144Hz with audio) (HDMI=60Hz with audio) your pick. :)
