![]() In the table below, you will find all the currently available adapter combinations for 1080p 144Hz or higher. ![]() In case your 144Hz monitor and graphics card do not support 144Hz over the same port type, you may be able to use an adapter. If you need a cable longer than 33ft (15 meters), you’ll need to look for an active cable. DisplayPort cables are backward-compatible as well. For DisplayPort 1.2 devices, you’ll need a DisplayPort cable that’s rated for 21.6 Gbps and HBR2 bit rate class.įor DisplayPort 1.4, look for a cable rated for 32.4 Gbps and HBR3 bit rate class. Just like with HDMI cables, there’s no such thing as a DisplayPort 1.2 or 1.4 cable. The USB-C port sends the DisplayPort signal for audio and video and can simultaneously charge (if the device supports power delivery) and transfer data to the connected device. So, mini-DisplayPort 1.2 can do 75Hz at 4K, 240Hz at 1080p and so on.įurthermore, mini-DisplayPort is now being replaced by the USB Type-C port on newer displays. The main difference between DP 1.3 and DP 1.4 is that the latter supports DSC (Display Stream Compression), which allows it to deliver 144Hz at 4K, 120Hz at 5K and 60Hz at 8K - but with compression.Ī mini-DisplayPort (or Thunderbolt) connector can output the same amount of bandwidth as the DisplayPort implementation it is based on. DisplayPortĪpart from an HDMI port, most gaming monitors also come with a DisplayPort 1.2 port which offers native support for 240Hz at 1080p, up to 165Hz at 1440p and up to 75Hz at 4K.ĭisplayPort 1.3 and DisplayPort 1.4 provide the extra bandwidth required for 240Hz at 1440p, 120Hz at 4K, 60Hz at 5K and 30Hz at 8K. If you need a cable that’s longer than 50ft, you’ll need to look for an active optical cable. You can also use a 10.2 Gbps cable with an HDMI 2.1 device, but you’ll be limited to the 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. So, you can use a 48 Gbps cable with an HDMI 1.4 device with no issues. ![]() Lastly, for HDMI 2.1 devices, you’ll need a cable rated for 48 Gb/s with an ‘ Ultra Certified Cable‘ or ‘ Ultra High Speed‘ label. So, for a 1080p 144Hz monitor with HDMI 1.4, look for an HDMI cable that’s rated for at least 10.2 Gb/s, labeled as ‘ High-Speed.’įor HDMI 2.0, you’ll need a cable rated for at least 18 Gb/s and labeled as ‘ Premium Certified Cable‘ or ‘ Premium High Speed.’ Instead, you should look for an HDMI cable with enough bandwidth to support your monitor’s maximum screen resolution and refresh rate over its HDMI port. Note that there’s no such thing as an HDMI 1.4 or 2.0 cable. Be sure to visit our article on misleading/confusing HDMI 2.1 specifications to learn more. However, to see just how much bandwidth an HDMI 2.1 port has on a monitor will depend on its implementation (FRL6 has 48Gbps, FRL5 has 40Gbps, etc.). The latest HDMI 2.1 adds native support for 144Hz at 4K UHD and 60Hz at 8K. HDMI 2.0 is also fairly standard and can be used for 240Hz at 1080p, 144Hz at 1440p and 60Hz at 4K. So, make sure the exact monitor you’re looking at supports 144Hz or at least 120Hz over its HDMI 1.4 port - or just look for a 144Hz display with HDMI 2.0. In fact, most 144Hz monitors are limited to 120Hz over HDMI 1.4, but some monitor manufacturers will utilize custom timing parameters and pixel rates to use the full potential of the HDMI 1.4 bandwidth, thus getting 144Hz at 1080p. However, keep in mind that some monitors have limited bandwidth over HDMI 1.4, making it max out at 120Hz or even at 60Hz in some cases (mostly G-SYNC and older monitors). Nowadays, most monitors, TVs and graphics cards feature at least an HDMI 1.4 port, which is enough for 144Hz at 1080p, 75Hz at 1440p and 30Hz at 4K. ![]() ![]() Only the Dual-Link DVI-D port can do 1920×1080 at 144Hz or 2560×1440 at 75Hz, while other DVI ports max out at the same bandwidth as VGA. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a more common and widespread connector, but bear in mind that not all DVI versions are the same. ![]()
