I’ve got a BenQ XL2411z 144hz monitor with HDMI and DVI ports but my GPU only has hdmi and display port. I can’t get 144hz through hdmi, is there any advice on how to get it or should I just get a new monitor?

I've got the same monitor. HDMI won't do 144 Hz, best I could get was 75 Hz with a custom resolution.
You could get an expensive active and powered Displayport to dual link DVI-D adapter, that would support 144 Hz.
As far as i know, only Display Port supports 144hz and above.
I have a 165hz monitor. I got 144 with the HDMI the monitor came with, but had to buy a DP for 165hz
Some searching - An active DP-dual link DVI to get it working..? Search up Dell Bizlink Dual Link Adapter for 144Hz.
HDMI supports 120 sometimes 144 it depends on the type. I believe 1.2 or 2.1 (I forgor) but other than that only Display Port and DVI-D are going to get you 144+
HDMI port on this monitor seemingly doesn't do more then 60hz
use DVI if you can
What about hdmi 2.1? Will that give me 120hz at least?
I think the problem is that your monitor just supports hdmi 1.2 or lower not your GPU or cable
Yeah I would use dvi but my gpu doesn’t have a dvi port
Only the 6000 series from amd and the 3000 series from nvidia have HDMI 2.1.
I’ve got a 3070 but I don’t think my monitor is hdmi 2.1?
