laptop screen conversion with gsync

[Futuremadman02]

Hey all, I am trying to determine if i can take an  Aorus X7 v7 laptop screen with an edp to DisplayPort board and still get the full 120hz and gsync. This is the board I was planning on using is this https://ebay.to/2SP5fmg but i will gladly use another board. thanks!

That board looks like it's a eDP driver, meaning it likely isn't directly transferring DP signals from the output to the monitor. So I don't have much confidence that you can get GSync over VESA adaptive sync this way.

ah darn, thanks. Do you know if there is any way to retain the Gsync signal? and would i still get the full 144hz with that board even if i lost the gsync?

The eDP driver would have to support the feature. At least that's what I can infer from this document: https://www.vesa.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DisplayPort-DevCon-Presentation-eDP-Dec-2010-v3.pdf

ah, I see what you mean, so I would get the full 144hz but not the gsync. Thanks for your help! i wouldn't have ever thought to look for an in-depth analysis of the edp signal itself.
