im using hdmi so there is no gsync there was no option for it either in the nvidia control panel.

i mean as long as you get a high quality cable, should work. dont get a cheap one. (i estimate a good one to be around 10-15usd)

ill check when I get home, but why would the problem happen on my laptop monitor that does not have any freesync/gsync?

laptop: lenovo legion y7000p-1060 (i7-8750h + gtx 1060) monitor: Nixeus NX-EDG27X (using hdmi so im limited to 144hz, not the 165 that it can do)

any usbc to a cable can do that. no need for an expensive pcie card.

why do you want to go faster than 5ghz? you'll only get maybe 2-3% more performance. is that worth the additional headaches?

Im getting an exceedingly strange behavior from my laptop. When I boot my computer (after shutdown), everything is fine. my laptop gets the normal 60hz. but if I plug my 144hz monitor in, my laptop display goes to 32hz (still shows as 60 in the display settings), and my monitor goes to approximately 102hz (shows 144 in settings). even if I go to monitor only and disable the laptop screen it shows 102hz. unplugging the monitor does nothing and my screen stays at 32. so every time I have to use my monitor or unplug the monitor my refresh rate gets cut in half until I do a fresh boot. (sleeping/waking does not do anything). im getting the 32/102 numbers by looking at the ufo test. it shows that as the frame rate, but its also extremely obvious by just looking. another weird part is that on the monitor at least, it doesnt stay at 102. it will fluctuate a LOT. ill get random short bursts (for like half a second) of the full 144hz and then back to 102. (I can feel it when I play games). The attached video is what I see when I use my monitor. recorded with my phone in slow mo 20230213_225208.mp4

I will sometimes just let fans go to 100%. shutting it down will turn off the fans so I dont turn it off

its alright guys... I didnt get any of those 3 lmao the nixeus one was 180usd so thats a no brainer (no longer that price. its back to 380 on newegg)

what does this mean? I know it limits the bandwidth, but does that limit the Hz?

Its either the MSI G273QPF or the LG 27GP850-B or Gigabyte M27Q-P. They both seem incredibly similar but the msi has a slight advantage on contrast, and M27qp seems the slowest response times. msi has best stand. Ghosting is quite noticeable to me which is why I need something fast. contrast is also quite important because I watch a lot of youtube so idk if I should go with the LG one. But I am not sure how much contrast matters if I am not in a "dark room". I always have lights on and do not use displays in the dark. Current pricing that I could find: 27GP850-B: $300 (LG website) G273QPF: $260 (Microcenter) M27Q-P: $250 (out of stock currently, but hopefully I can get it when its back in stock) context: I am currently using a 60hz ips display and the ghosting is getting very annoying to game now.

You can try resetting the network devices. if you go to the windows network settings, at the bottom there will be a network reset button.

desktop and laptop both are on wifi? if you open task manager and to go the performance tab, click on the wifi one. on the bottom left. there should be something like 802.11 something something. what is that there?

maybe remove the affiliate part of the link and post the raw version (remove everything after the ?

win11 is going backwards in a lot of ways which I dont like. win11 just looks like win10 with a fresh coat of paint but secretly made quality of life worse. I will be using win10 as long as possible. when it loses support, you always have the option of upgrading for free anyway.
