Can my laptop's GeForce GTX 860M run a 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz display over HDMI?

Hi, all.

I'm looking at this monitor now:

AOC Q2778VQE Black 27" 1ms HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 350 cd/m2 80,000,000:1

The monitor's optimal resolution is 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz.

And here's my GPU's spec sheet that shows that it supports HDMI 1.4b:

(http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-860m/specifications fails to provide that info. Thanks, Nvidia! )

Looking at Wikipedia's HDMI page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison), it says that HDMI *1.3*, an older version, supports 2560×1600p/60hz.

So! Based on all of that, is it reasonable to expect that plugging in that monitor to my laptop's HDMI port will let me run it at 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz?

TIA,
Ali

in theory yes, it should work. in practice you won't know till you actually try.

Thanks, laviniuc.

Is that pretty much how it goes when matching up display components?

normally you can tell based on specs but mobile gpu-s are never a certain thing, even if the 860 is spec-ed to output that resolution it's possible for it to not work depending on how the gpu features are implemented or not on the laptop motherboard.
