Hello all, I play the game SMITE competitively and I have:

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE (144hz)

For HDMI, the max refresh rate I can get at 1080 x 1920 is 60hz, whereas with dual link I can get 1080 x 1920 at 144 hz. I was told the higher refresh rate makes a difference, but I don't know if the image quality in general is just as good. Wondering what your thoughts are on this...
 
Solution
Use dual link DVI. The image quality is exactly the same (both are digital signals), except dual link dvi supports higher refresh rates (which you want).
