To achieve 144Hz, you must use the correct version of DisplayPort (DP) or HDMI based on your resolution. DP is the recommended interface for high refresh rates.


Cable Requirement Table:

Target ResolutionRecommended Cable (or higher)Note
1080p (FHD)DisplayPort / HDMI 1.3Supported by most modern cables
1440p (2K)DisplayPort 1.2 / HDMI 2.0Common for high-end gaming setups
2160p (4K)DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1HDMI 2.1 is required for uncompressed 4K@144Hz


Note:

  • Hardware Compatibility: In addition to the cable, both your GPU output and Monitor input ports must meet the required version specifications.

  • Pro Tip: If both are available, DisplayPort is generally preferred over HDMI for more stable high-refresh-rate performance.
