No option for 144hz, what have I done wrong!

[Damien.]

Evening,

I am having trouble getting my new monitor to run at 144Hz.

I have the monitor connected to my 1080ti via a DP>DVI-D cable but when trying to up the refresh rate in the Nvidia control panel, the only option I have is 60Hz.

What am I doing wrong or is the GPU/monitor combination not being compatible.

Tried both but no joy.

I fear my DP>DVI cable isnt up to the job.

I might return this monitor and get one that will have a Display Port.

Without an expensive active adaptor you probably won't get the bandwidth from DP to DVI to run it at 144Hz - I'd definitely return it for something else if you don't have native DVI-D output.

Yeah much to my frustration this is what I've found out after some research.

It's my fault for not looking into it more before clicking buy.
