Q: Can I connect a DVI-DL Input from my Late 2012 Mac Mini?
Hi all...
I have a question... I have a Late 2012 Mac Mini and I just purchased a new BenQ XL2411Z 24" Gaming Monitor. It supports 1ms and up 144hz. I know my Mac Mini (Late 2012) has a Intel 4000 1.5gb Video Card installed in it. Can I use via either the HDMI Port or the Mini Display Port to connect it to the DVI-DL Port on the BenQ Monitor?
Is there a way to do this and reap the benefits of the 144hz instead of plain 60hz HDMI? Also, is it possible to upgrade a Mac Mini Video Card? (Half-Joking but still curious if it's possible?).
Thanks in advance!!
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), Mac Mini (Late 2012) i7 Quad-Core.

If you Google the specs for the Intel graphics, I think you'll find that limit is set by Intel, not by the OS used.
It's one of the lowest performing graphics chip out there. If you want high end graphics, you shouldn't be using a MacMini.
