Im getting only 60 fps using a 144 hz monitor using a hdmi 2.0 connection

jclancy018 · Apr 5, 2018

I have a laptop made for playing games. Processor: Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad Core Processor (6MB Cache, 2.8GHz-3.8GHz) 45W
RAM: 32GB RAM DDR4 2400MHz | Hard Drive: 512GB NVMe Solid State Drive + 2TB 5400rpm Hard Disk Drive
Keyboard: Steel Series Full-color backlight with Anti-Ghost key+ Silver lining | Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Max-Q 1070 8GB GDDR5 | Display: 15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) 120Hz 3ms 94% NTSC Display. I get very high framerates on the laptop itself but when i use the hdmi 2.0 i only get 60 fps on my brand new monitor. My laptop doesnt come with a DP port or a DVI port so would a HDMI port to DP port Work? Is there anyway to raise the framerate of the monitor?

Is the monitor actually set to 144hz?

it doesnt allow me to change the display settings even though it is a 144 hz monitor. Does using an hdmi 2.0 make that not possible?

Depends on the monitor. See section 5.1 here:

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3675170/connect-120-display-construction.html

Also note, just because your laptop has an HDMI 2.0 port, that doesn't automatically make any connection an "HDMI 2.0 connection". The GPU and the display would both need to support HDMI 2.0.

However, HDMI 2.0 is not required for 144 Hz at 1080p anyway.

The monitor i have is a MSI mag24c ( https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MAG24C ) which says it allows for 144 hz. I have a nvidia gtx 1060 6gb ram in my laptop. my laptop also has a hdmi port capable of supporting 4k @ 60hz which could be hdmi 2.0. i dont know if i have to allow my graphics card to allow high frame rates (mine are capped at 60 fps on the monitor). I dont know if i need to change anything or if i should just switch to using the thunderbolt 3 port to display port.

Follow this guide and tell me if it is set to 144hz already.

Follow section 6 of the guide I linked before, which describes how to set up 120+ Hz.
