Well i was wondering what cable support 144hz or even higher and what is the difference between single and dual link on dvi cable and if displayport cable good? (Like which one better dvi or displayport?)
 
Solution
Your monitor should have come with a cable. Either a Dual Link DVI, or a displayport cable. The single link cable will not work.

Under standard usage, there is no difference in quality, but displayport can do a few things the DVI cable can't, if your monitor and system support them; such as G-sync, Freesync (A-sync), and sound.

Well my display doesnt come with dvi dual link... lol only dvi single link ^^" and i saw on some of the review that the single dual link doesnt support up to 144hz... that why i'm askin (the monitor is a 144hz one lol) so what you are saying is that dvi dual link (the dvi i and dvi d dual link both is good for 144hz and displayport is a bit better right?)

Sorry for the double post but does it change anything if i use a displayport to hdmi cable? Or displayport to displayport better?
PS: If i use the displayport to hdmi cable on a normal screen it will just work as a normal hdmi ?
