One cable mistake could be killing your desktop PC's gaming performance
Your monitor might be connected to the motherboard instead of your graphics card, and the fix takes only a cable swap.

You may have a great graphics card in your gaming desktop and still be disappointed with its performance because of where the monitor is plugged in.

The same cable can fit either set of ports, which isn't particularly helpful.
