Best way to connect two GN246HL monitors to 1070ti with 140hz(available connections in desc)

[Zaughtilo]

Hi, I'm looking to get a second monitor and I would like it to be the same one as my current so they match.
GN246HL is a 144hz 1920x1080 1ms monitor with one connection for all three of these: D-Sub, DVI, and HDMI.
1070ti is a PNY model with one connection for each of the following: DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI 2.0b.
The current one is using the provided DVI-DVI so that is taken on the GPU. I am aware that HDMI is available on both but that can only go to 60hz (if I'm correct, I've heard this from several people) and I don't want that.
What's the best way I could connect the second monitor, with 144hz? Adapters and splitters are fine.

The HDMI port on the GN246HL is limited to to 60 Hz, yes.

You can connect to one through DVI, but the only way to connect to the second is with a $100 DP to DL-DVI adapter.

What about a DVI splitter? Can I split the DVI port on the GPU to allow for two DVI connections?

 

[Glenwing]

No, DVI does not support multiple independent displays. A DVI splitter will only duplicate the same image to both monitors.

Then I might just keep the second monitor at 60hz through HDMI because I don't want to drop another $100 on just an adapter

Then you may as well get the G246HL, the 60 Hz version, and save some money.

I chose your previous answer as the solution, but while you're here, would the AOC G2460PF be a good idea to get instead of the Acer? It's 1ms 144hz and has a Displayport connection to match that of the 1070ti's. Pretty sure it comes with a DP cable as well. It's also same size as the Acer so it should look nice

Yes, I recommend that monitor often.
