Your graphics card should have 2 or 3 displayport connections, next to where your hdmi port is on the graphics card.

If you have a display with GSYNC technology, you need a DP cable for it to work. If it doesn't have GSYNC, I honestly understand that it's almost the same whether you use one cable or the other (some say DP is better, you can try it if you want). The difference is whether you can use GSYNC (you need the monitor and the GPU; the GPU has it; it remains to be seen if your display has it too).

If your screen has GSYNC, after purchasing the cable, make sure in the Nvidia CFG control panel that GSYNC is activated, there you will be able to see the difference in the game.

If your monitor runs at 144Hz it means your cable is fine

 

Old cable would make it stuck at 60Hz

And not all HDMI can run 144, need version 1.3 or higher

take this info asket to CHAGPT
1)  No, a direct connection from PC HDMI → DisplayPort monitor does NOT work with a simple cable.
2)  Why?

HDMI (on the PC) and DisplayPort (on the monitor) use different electronic signals.

HDMI outputs cannot convert the signal to DisplayPort by themselves.

So a passive HDMI → DP cable is not enough.
3) How to make it work (if you really need it):

You need an active HDMI → DisplayPort adapter, which:

Converts the HDMI signal (from PC) to DisplayPort (for the monitor)

Has additional power via USB (to power the active chip)

Supports at least 1080p @ 60Hz (some also 4K @ 30Hz or @ 60Hz)

Example:

 HDMI to DisplayPort active adapter (with USB power)
Ex.:

StarTech HDMI to DP Adapter with USB Power

Cable Matters HDMI to DisplayPort Active Adapter
4)  Warning:

They cost more than normal cables (about 30–50€)

Not all work well at 144Hz or 4K, check the specifications carefully

Solution to use only if you have no other ports available
5)  Better alternative if possible:

If the monitor also has HDMI inputs, use those.
Or use a graphics card with DisplayPort output to connect natively to DisplayPort.
