The 950M is only HDMI 1.4. In the 900M series, only the 970M and 980M have HDMI 2.0.

Try the thread pinned at the top of this section (if you're on desktop), select HDMI in the first dropdown.

Unless you're hooking up to a 4k display or something like a 1440p 144hz monitor it shouldn't matter.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Speeds? What do you mean?

 

Depends on the model, although unless you're shooting for 4k it shouldn't really matter anyways. 

he means like max Hz and resolution

CSGO @1080p 144Hz pls

 

i don't know how much of that speed you can use with a 950M since I only get 120 fps at 1080p with high settings on my rx 480

I doubt your laptop has 2.0 unless it's new (within the last year) and at least relatively high end, which I doubt with a 950m. You're probably going to need an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter if you don't already have the port

the displayport will still be limited by the hdmi input speeds

Could you tell us what laptop you have? Because otherwise it's kinda hard to tell you if you have hdmi 1.4 or 2.0...

it is in the original post

There are multiple different HP pavilion gaming laptops out there. There are ones with skylake, Kaby lake, and probably Broadwell i5s and i7s as well as ones with GTX 1050s in there. "HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop" is very unspecific. Without the exact specifications and screen size I really can't do anything.

Try the thread pinned at the top of this section (if you're on desktop), select HDMI in the first dropdown.

True. But a USB to DP might

no because usb 3.0 runs at 5gbps, dp 1.3/.4 runs above 35gbps
