Hi Guys
Just got my ACER Predator X34 and I need a 3meter cable that will work at
3,440 x 1,440 @ 100Hrz . Just got one off Amazon and will not run at 100Hrz

Got any links to a 3M cable that will work ?

PS... This monitor blows your socks off!!

Are you sure the monitor is configured to run at 100hz? Do you know if the DP cable is the same DP version as that of the monitor?

I'm using 3m UGREEN cable with that monitor and it works perfectly at 100hz with gsync enabled.
Paid about £7.50.

.

The stock cable that came with the monitor works perfectly just way too short.

Yes was a 1.2 version cable

Thats CRAZY as I also purchase a UGREEN 3 meter cable and I can not get it to run @ 100Hrz But swap out to the original cable and 100 Hrz option in Nvidia control panel is there.. WTF!

I didn't think display port cables were any different for versions of DP.
I'd be inclined to get one from OCUK, then at least you can chat to people who know what they are doing ;-)

Accell cables are VESA certified and are guaranteed to work. VESA owns displayport.

Don't think that's possible but I bought mine on Amazon as well.
