Will this give me 120hz? I have a 144hz monitor but my PC only has HDMI ports for some fucking reason

Cable doesn't matter, the version of the controller is what determines refresh rate capability. Unless your monitor and gpu both have HDMI 2.0 or better you're stuck with 1080p 60hz.

what do you mean controller?
>>58701244
The fucking HDMI controller you retarded high
Your monitor will say what type,of HDMI it has, and so will your gpu
If it isn't 2.0,you cant get the 120hz
>>58701282
what the fuck are you talking about, the 1.4 cable is the same as the 2.0 cable

That's what he's saying

People will simplify identifying HDMI versions by referring to the port, i.e. "it has an HDMI 2.0 port," but in reality the cables and ports are all the same. The actual difference is the microcontroller responsible for sending and interpreting signals.
For example, I have a 144hz capable 1080p monitor, but it can only accept that signal through either display port or dvi-d. It has an hdmi port but cannot accept beyond 60hz because it's not 2.0 or better. Likewise my GPU can output 1080p144hz through display port or DVI-D, but does not use an HDMI 2.0 port or better and is thus also limited to 60hz through HDMI.
I don't know how to clearify this any further so if you're still confused I suggest drinking bleach to improve cognitive function.

Wrong, bitch boy, some HDMI only handle 60hz
>>58701431
And it is. Only difference is some DRM version shit (and even that may be controller side). Cable itself is the fucking same

he means port
