I bought a monitor that only supports 144Hz through a DVI port, but my Zotac Gaming 1660 Ti graphics card doesn't have a DVI port. I tried using HDMI to DVI and DisplayPort to DVI converters, but they only work at 1080p and 60Hz. Can anyone suggest a cable or adapter that will allow me to achieve 144Hz?

You'll need an adapter that supports dual-link DVI to get 144Hz. From what I remember, finding reliable adapters that can do this isn't easy. You might want to check out older forum posts for recommendations. Here's a thread that might help you: [DisplayPort to DVI Adapter 144Hz](https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/7k1y9d/displayport_to_dvi_adapter_144hz/)
Try searching for "DP to DVI 144" or "HDMI to DVI 144" in your favorite online shops. Make sure to check the versions of the cables: DisplayPort 1.2 can handle 1080p at 144Hz, and DisplayPort 1.4 goes up to 4K at 120Hz or even 8K at 60Hz. HDMI 2.1 also supports 4K at 144Hz!
Yeah, I looked into it a while back too, and an active converter was the only option I found. It was pricier than the monitor itself!
