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 Resolution | Recommended Cable (or higher) | Note |
| 1080p (FHD) | DisplayPort / HDMI 1.3 | Supported by most modern cables |
| 1440p (2K) | DisplayPort 1.2 / HDMI 2.0 | Common for high-end gaming setups |
| 2160p (4K) | DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1 | HDMI 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.
