[Stevievee]

Hi all, What is the best way to connect the below please? Display port or HDMI. Rig will be mainly used for FPS.

Acer Predator XB272bmiprzx 27" 1920x1080 TN G-Sync 240Hz

KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6144MB GDDR5

Thanks

Steve

Display port

Display port is always best. More bandwidth capabilities than current HDMI.

So one of these would be adequate??

I think that one is DP1.1 given the specs.

Ideally you want a DP 1.2 cable so something like this (and has 5 years warranty)

DP1.2 is certainly the best way to go.

Thanks for help guys. Display port 1.2 it is then.

If you're buying new, acer normally bundle a DP cable with the predator monitors.

It's also worth noting that gsync will only work over displayport
