Are there any drawbacks to using a DVI dual link with a 144Hz 1920x1080 monitor? (xl2411p)
Are there any drawbacks to using a DVI dual link with a 144Hz 1920x1080 monitor? (xl2411p)
So my RX 580 doesn’t have a DP connection, so I’m using a DVI dual link from the GPU to reach 144Hz. My monitor is a Benq XL2411P.
My concern is whether using DVI will cause any issues, and I’m worried it might not work properly. My resolution is 1920x1080... Thanks!!!
It might be that your HDMI cable is only version 1.4, which restricts its performance and causes issues with many low-cost cables as well. My son’s 1070ti with dual-DVI works fine at 144Hz without any problems or blur. Regarding motion blur in games, I usually turn it off in the game settings since I don’t like it. For audio, just connect your motherboard output to speakers or headphones, or use a USB headphone/speaker if you have one.
How do I confirm if my audio will function properly? My HDMI only supports 90Hz, is that typical? And I read someone mention a monitor issue where 144Hz causes blurriness—will I experience the same?

For audio, connect directly to your motherboard’s audio output to speakers or headphones, or use a USB headphone/speaker if available; some devices also support digital or optical inputs depending on your motherboard’s capabilities. Could you clarify what you’re connecting for sound? That would help suggest the best setup.
