You should connect the Asus VG248QE via DisplayPort. It offers better compatibility and performance with your GTX 970, especially for higher resolutions like 144hz 1080p. HDMI is available but may not support all features you need.

HDMI isn't the best choice—it's more suited for laptops than high-speed needs. DP HDMI doesn't support 144Hz, and a 390Hz option might be better.

DisplayPort provides 144Hz, whereas HDMI is limited to 60Hz at 1080p. You might want to think about the R9-390 rather than the 970 for a better option.

I submitted my vote for the 390 with extra RAM and top performance. The Nitro option is excellent. You're using HDMI on a 60Hz display, but please adhere to the recommendations provided.

You can't achieve 1080p at 144Hz via HDMI on that screen, meaning you have no options. Opt for DisplayPort instead.

Use the DP because HDMI is limited to 1080p at 60 FPS (or 4K if you need higher). [change 970 to 390 as requested]

Choose DVI for convenience—no need to purchase cables that support 144Hz 1080p.

Thanks for the assistance. I need to get a DP cable. Also, I’m unlikely to switch back to the 970; I rely on NVidia because of my older hardware, and I understand AMD can have issues, so I’d prefer not to face that.

Both perspectives are incorrect; using standard HDMI 1.4 remains the optimal choice. If available, opt for DP.

This applies directly to your comments about display connections. DP offers the top choice, HDMI is the next best, and HDMI 2.0 supports high resolutions and refresh rates. HDMI 1.4 handles 1080p at 120Hz, while DVI is limited to 2560x1600 at 60Hz. You can modify a DVI link if needed. If you don’t have an analog screen, avoid VGA unless it’s truly necessary.
