Pretty much any dual link dvi cable should work.

Use this chart

Which dvi on that chart is your current cable?


Here are the full specs of your monitor.
Yes it requires using DVI-D dual link to use the 144hz

Yes the cable linked from amazon is what you need. Remember to pick the length also incase 2 meters is barely enough for you. Having some extra slack helps. Or you could use this cable, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B2HOVAA

Yeah my monitor is dvi d dual on that chart, and my cable is the same but only supports 60hz according to amazon anyway.

If it's dual link, it has all the pins except for the 4 next to the long pin, which is for dvi-I to vga anyways.

So if u have dual link cable, enable the 144hz on the monitor and within nvidia control panel.

yeah so just to clarify mine is dvi-d dual fourth one down and the cable will work at 144hz?

the gpu, cable and monitor all need to support dl-dvi-d for it to work at dual link speeds

His monitor does not have DP

And requires dvid DL for 144hz

I listed a dp to dvid dl cable above though.

No its not

It's dvid DL to dp
That will support the max dvid allows for
