So I'm running a 144 hz ASUS: VG248QE monitor as my primary and a 120hz benq XL 2420t as my secondary monitor. I've done some hard searching and found that my ASUS has problems with the display port cable and sure enough I can't get it to work. However the benq uses it fine, so my question is....
Since the ASUS is on DVI and the Benq is on the displayport, which one should I run games on? Is the difference with the displayport cable enough that I should play tf2 and stuff on the Benq or should I keep the Asus as my primary monitor?

Displayport > DVI BenQ > Asus
Displayport > DVI BenQ > Asus

Unless you plan on going 1440p or you REALLY want to use the BenQ motion blur options their's no reason to drop 200+ for a benq when you already have the asus.
As for Display Port vs Dual-link DVI
Display port has alot more bandwidth and has some nice features. Their's no added input lag vs DVI. If you want 1440p 144Hz you will have to use Display Port for 1080p 144Hz both work just as well from a gaming perspective.

I'm not dropping any more money. I have both monitors in question. I can only use the displayport on the Benq for some reason. I'm asking which is better for gaming. The Asus with DVI since that's all I can use, or the Benq with the displayport instead. The ASUS has a history of not working, and have tried lots of solutions to make it work, nothing works so far.

Use the BenQ and DPort, Dport wont do much now, but its a way of supporting such a great peice of hardware

For 1920x1080 144Hz or lightboost gaming, they're equal. I like displayport more because it's easier to plug in and remove (I use a laptop). Also displayport has more bandwidth.
