An external GPU box would work for you, since the offboard GPU would have a full-bandwidth link to the monitor. Depending on which GPU you put in it, though, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new monitor.

(Razer core X) A single cable goes to the hub, GPU box and all your USB peripherals plug into the hub. The hub itself claims it can run a DP 1.2 monitor, so you could skip the GPU box, if you don't need graphics performance.
