Sorry guys i know its a super noob question but display port 1.2 connections on a dell gaming monitor work with a gigabyte gtx 1080 with 1.4 display port? I've never used displayport connections before. Will I still be able to get a full 144hz at 1ms?
 
Solution
Yes, it's fully backwards compatible.

DP is the highest bandwidth and most versatile interface. 144hz (assuming 1080P or 1440P) will run over DP 1.2 just fine.
