1080p Gaming With BenQ XL2411T 144Hz Monitor - HDMI Cable Or DP>DVI Cable?

As per title, I’m gaming at 1080p on a BenQ XL2411T 144Hz Monitor which is getting the pixels thrown at it by a Vega 56 GPU.

The monitor has DVI and HDMI inputs and the GPU has DP and HDMI outputs. After taking advice at the time of getting a previous non-DVI GPU, I was using a DVI<>DVI cable with a Star Tech DP>DVI adaptor at the GPU end and seeing frames rates above 100fps on the RTSand SP FPS games I play.

However, I was getting intermittent and then permanent “no signal detected” messages today when I booted the PC. PC appeared to be booting normally, but without any output to the monitor. Switching to an old HDMI cables fixed this straight away.


My questions are:

1. At 1080p, what (if any) limitations does an HDMI cable bring with it?
2. What’s the best DP>DVI cable available?

Thanks in advance.
