I am using a regular HDMI cable running from my video card TO my monitor, and its only letting me run at 60 hz... The ports i have available on this monitor are. DVI, and HDMI, thats it NOT DISPLAY port. Why cant i run at 144 hz with HDMI and what must i do? buy a DVI cable or, Is their an adaptor that goes from HDMI to DISPLAY port because i have a "Premium Display Port Cable" my video card DOES support it but my monitor DOES not have the port. What are my best options? I have a 1080 #1 10 Replies Related Threads

I have a similar variation of your monitor, still 1080p 144hz 1ms all that jazz ASUS touts around, however with no G-Sync support. You are going to need raw horsepower to match the refresh rate. Now this will mostly only benefit you in FPS games, other game types, rts, rpg, mmo, moba, etc. really wont make you better, just a nicer visual experience since high refresh rate equals better personal twitch reaction response time, so this solely resides on your physical talents. \| Intel i9 12900K @5.2GHz \| NZXT Kraken X73 \| Corsair 4000D \| Gigabyte AORUS PRO Z690 \| EVGA SuperNova 1000 G6 \| \| RTX 3090FE @2.1GHz \| 980 PRO 2TB \| 980 PRO 1 TB x 2 \| G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB 6000MHz \| LG 34" UW 1440p 144Hz \| #5

The VG278HE should have come with one in the box. #6

I am fortunately blessed with quick reaction and it made a measurable positive increase in my gaming experience. I run three 144hz monitors... I am planning on going to a single 34" 4k this year. #7

The 1080 should push me up a bit, will have to see. In benchmark it states CPU usage average is around 55% on nearly every bench I have ran. Edit: added info on CPU usage. post edited by Gruntbull_0369 - 2017/03/13 07:47:04 #9
