Hey guys, I need a display port to display port cable for this monitor (Running it in a 980) - I was wondering what the best cable was to achieve the best from the card and the monitor?

Sony sell a audiophille grade/visualphille grade display port cable made from Unicorn horns and fairy dust.

A 2M cable only costs you £36,000.

Well worth the money.

I bought one of those and it gave my monitor blacks so deep that it opened a black hole and now I'm drifting through the far reaches of space, it's a bit nippy but worth every penny.

10/10 would buy again.

OP - just use the one in the box, it's fine

If you've got a cable that works, you'll be fine. Some people do have issues with cheap, flimsy connectors but we're talking seriously cheap and nasty.

Personally speaking, I buy digital cables from reputable suppliers for a couple of quid.

Thanks for the sarcasm guys. I meant in regards to it being Display Port 1.2 - I need a cable that can support 144hz and a lot of them only say 120hz.

It's only 120 as the small factory do not have their cables certified to 144. The VESA DP logo costs big bucks compared to basic materials to make the cable.
Just use the overclocked CPU analogy. If one cable doesn't work, bin it. Buy another.

Black holes aren't black FYI.

My joke has been ruined, noooooooo!

I don't have the one supplied, or I wouldn't be making a thread about obtaining one?

Thank you for the serious posts rjkoneill and Jim.
