Benq XL2411Z supports 120hz on HDMI 2.0 or 2.1?

Post by enrigeek » 01 Jul 2022, 03:33

Hello Guys! :-)
I just upgraded my GPU ( RX 6600 ) and it only has display port / hdmi outputs.
Will my XL2411Z ( with no displayport ) support 100/120/144 hz over HDMI 2.0 or 2.1?
Cannot find recent good info on manual or online

Thank You!

The XL2411Z does not support 100/120/144 Hz over HDMI. Technically even HDMI 1.4 can do it, but the monitor can't. You will need a DisplayPort to dual-link DVI active adapter, the ones with the USB cable for power. Club3D has one for about $50.

Even the best new cables won't help a 10-year-old monitor support 120Hz+ on a 60Hz-only HDMI port.

The XL2411Z is almost a decade old, and many monitors in those days were capped to 60Hz on the HDMI jack, regardless of HDMI spec.

I see Boomchakadah linked the Club 3D CAC-1010 on amazon. Will the Club 3D CAC-1010-A (apparently the "HDCP OFF" version of the CAC-1010) work just as well for doing 120 Hz 1080p on my Benq XL2411z? My graphics card is nVidia GTX 1080 Ti.
