Incorrect cable message with usb to dvi adaptater

Hello,

I recently bought a USB3.1 to DVI adaptater so i could use my laptop with my benq 2411z at 144hz (it only has HDMI as a video output).

Everything is working fine and I'm getting 144fps, but my monitor still displays a warning message saying "Incorrect cable. Please use the DVI dual-link cable that came with your monitor". I tested it with two different cables and it still displays the message despite everything working fine when they're hooked up to my desktop pc. I can live with it, but it's pretty distracting.

I tried taking a look in the benq's service menu but there doesn't seem to be anything useful. I also updated both my integrated graphics and nvidia drivers, but no dice.

Does any of you know of a way to fix my problem or how to disable this warning message?

If I had to guess, I'd say that the adapter probably isn't specced to handle your res at 144hz.

I'd just recommend that you get an HDMI cable and use that, or try dropping your resolution or refresh rate.
