Hello,

I have an Alienware 14 with an Nvidia GeForce GT 750M graphics card. I bought an Asus VG248 monitor that can project 144hz, however when I check the settings it says it is running at 60hz.

My laptop does not have an DVI port only an HDMI & mini display port. I don't know much about monitors, so with the little research I did I was able to get a free HDMI to DVI Converter.

So is the issue the converter or the graphics card not supporting 144hz?

yes its. As far as i know HDMI only can give you 60Hz, same goes to DVI 60hz.

What do you need to do is to get Displayport or dual link DVI. to get 144hz.

"*To activate 144Hz function (in 2D mode), both DisplayPort (or Dual-link DVI) and a selected graphics card with the latest driver are required. Please kindly contact the service center of your graphics cards companies for further technical supports. "
