Hi !

I recently bought a laptop (4k AMOLED 60 Hz), with a rtx2060, and a 144hz, 1080p screen to use as a main display, and I wondered what cable I should use, because I only have an HDMI port, as well as a thunderbolt port on the main laptop, and a hdmi, dp and dvi port and the second screen. Right now, I am using a crappy hdmi to dvi cable that gives me 30Hz on the second screen. What cable should I use to get 144Hz, or close, on the second screen, ? Is it impossible because I have a 60hz screen on the main laptop ?

Thanks in advance,

Michel_baie
