Club3D CAC-2068 VESA Certified DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.4/Hbr3 M/M Cable DP 1.4 8K 60Hz 2m - 6,56ft

After having my computer for a while, I was starting to experience a sync issue with my primary monitor. At first it was only once in a while (every few months or so). Over time, it increased to about once or twice a week. When I would turn on my computer or when I was toggling which monitors were in active use, my main monitor would suddenly act like it wasn't receiving a signal. Neither unplugging and re-plugging the DisplayPort cable, turning the monitor off and back on, nor restarting the computer would fix the issue. I would have to unplug and re-plug the monitor's POWER cord in order for it to go back to functioning properly.While troubleshooting, I read that DisplayPort, as a whole, is known for being rather fussy. Also, that the cable can actually have a rather large impact how cooperative things are. I was more-so thinking that either the graphics card or the monitor was the issue. Which, I do still think the issue is primarily on the monitor's side of things, from the behavior. But, I figured that trying a new cable was a cheaper first step.I don't remember where I got the cable that I was originally using. Though, I recall it being one that I felt was by a good company. Perhaps I just got a bad run, or something? -shrugs- But, I did some research for what was considered a good and reliable cable and was pointed to Club3D by some tech reviewers that I have pretty high respect toward. So, I grabbed this one.Jumping forward by a little over two years, now. I've had that annoying sync issue happen maybe two or three times, the whole time I've been using this Club3D cable. Which, I use my computer just about every day. So, yeah, definite improvement over the previous cable's habit of once or twice a week! I'm still suspicious that there's a quirk with my monitor. But, things have been behaving well enough for me to be content. So, I haven't bothered to delve any deeper.I haven't had a need for another DisplayPort cable, as of yet. But, when I do, this is very likely what I'll get (assuming it's still available when that time comes). I haven't heard any negative feedback from the friends I've suggested it to, either. So, it definitely gets my recommendation.

Perfect thus far. I had two of my three 4k monitors flickering with some other generic cables. No issue with these.

I already had a 3M cable made by another fairly reputable company that has served me well for a few years. I needed just a little longer as the recent build and work flow pushes the 3M length to its limits, zero slack which will ultimately lead to problems at the connections from strain. My search using the search feature didnt even list this product, had to research cables certified by VESA then find one of an appropriate length. In the end the search pointed to a find a vendor tab which gave me the egg or Amazon. I clicked the Amazon link and it put me right on the product.I had tried a few of the cables from the search, one of them a replacement offered by the vendor. Not one of them worked. The replacement cable at least let me get to desktop with out just a bunch of display...no display...display...no display.....lather rinse repeat. The final cable did however commence to the same behavior once an GPU benchmark was launched, like the microsecond it loaded down. Reducing refresh to bare minimum of 50hz with Gsync on and off and dialing back resolution to 1080P was fruitless across the board.For the record basic machine specsX299 platform 9940X CPU2X Strix 2080Ti GPUs (running at factory settings while testing cable) with Nvlink.AUS PG348Q native resolution 3440x1440 (so not even 4K)Get this Club3D cable and just the packaging was a good start. Well packed in a cardboard box that was spec made for the cable instead of a plastic bag.Opening the box revealed what I already knew to be an excellent choice. Perfectly roled cables with top notch cable management velcro straps. Ends are seamless and the outer jacket superb. It looks like a great cable before even plugging it in. The product images show a thinner cable IMO but thats a good thing. Seeing a cable with some beef lets me know that larger conductors and better shielding was used in the construction.I was so confident that I went ahead with the task of routing the cable through my maze from tower to monitor before powering up and testing. The previous cable I was not as daring.right to desktop on the boot, not a flicker in sight.Set machine to how I use it with full resolution, 100Hz and gsynch enabled. Cards overclocked to the same profile with 3M cable.Ran multiple heavy workload benchmarks from superposition to Port Royal and everything in between.In a single word........FLAWLESS!!! not a blip, glitch, flicker, nothing. What one would expect. I cant say it works as advertised as the specs to much higher to 4K at 144Hz and 8K at 60Hz it works as good as it gets with 3440x1440 100Hz.I understand that going over 3M presents its challenges. However this is a case of do it right or leave it be. Club3D DID IT RIGHT!!!Ive found a new display cable vendor and ill buy their producst without hesitation again and again even if it takes a bit more effort to find. Kudos on making one of the best DP cables Ive ever seen.

stopped my flickering issues!! i had a bad displayport cable beforeThis works great

I've gotten reputable-brand DP1.4 cables before which my Radeon 5700XT hated so much that my entire computer would freeze - not just video. I know that sounds ridiculous but AMD cards, as much as I love them - and especially the original RDNA1 generation - do have known issues with bad or marginal cables.I started buying Club3d based on the recommendation of Wendell from Level1Techs and they've been great. I use them with a L1T KVM switch, no problem. I try not to go beyond 2 meters when I'm using 2560x1440 or 4k.This particular review is for a cable I bought for a friend to replace the no-name cable she had got which was causing flickering. This fixed it for her.

I was having some flickering issues at lower refresh rates and this cable seems to have helped with those issues the Amazon basics cable was having. Would definitely recommend just make sure the cable is completely snapped in. I initially thought it was faulty because of no image but I had to really press it for that click.
