Connecting a 144hz monitor to 15'' retina macbook pro?

Hi, I recently bought the benq xl2411z 24'' monitor which has the capacity to run in 140hz as opposed to 60hz. I have been told that you cannot run 144hz in OSX but you can do it in Windows (bootcamp),

Right now the screen is connected via HDMI; however, I have been told that HDMI is incapable of running 140hz and that I need to use DVI.

So basically, I'm wondering what is the best way to connect the external monitor to run 144hz?

Thanks!

BTW I have a mid 2014 retina macbook pro 15'' with intel iris pro (not discrete graphics).
