Hello,
I have a Macbook pro 16" (2019) and are about to buy a gaming monitor AOC 24G2 (1080p, 144Hz).
The problem comes when I have to find a cable (for connect the monitor to the MBP) that supports the fast refresh rate.

I do belive that the bandwidth in my USB-hub is to limited (AMAZONE LINK) So what cable should i buy?
I think a cable USB-C to DP or HDMI is the way to go.. But is there something that i need to look out for?

If you choose HDMI, note that HDMI 1.4 supports only up to 120Hz, so any adapter would need to support HDMI 2.0 (assuming the display does as well), otherwise DisplayPort.

Hmm do alle USB-C to DisplayPort cabels have the bandwidth to support 1080p, 144Hz signal?
