limited refresh rate 60 ?

[Fawzy Maher]

Hello guys
first i bought a new laptop MSI gf63 with 60hz display 
then i bought a new monitor MSI optix G24 with 144hz refrersh rate
the problem is i cannot adjust the 144hz 
i've tried from the intel control center but the highest refresh rate was 120hz !!
i was looking for a solution to switch my laptop display from UHD intel control panel to nvidia control panel but i can't
also i tried to change the display settings from win10 itself but nothing in my hands
please help !
thanks

Looking at the specs for that monitor, it will only do 120hz over HDMI if you want 144hz you will have to use displayport.

HDMI only does 60hz with a 2.0 cable, use display port instead for 144hz

HDMI is not limited to 60 Hz, and there is no such thing as a 2.0 cable.

Yeah there is? i'm not 100% but to my knowledge that's how it works, there's 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 cables, and the 2.0 cables max out at 4k 60hz
They say the same thing on google/wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

There are different versions of the HDMI standard, different versions of the standard doesn't mean different cables.

Different versions have to mean different cables though? and for example if i use a HDMI cable i have why can't i go to 120hz on my monitor? (i have a 144hz from asus)

HDMI is not a cable, it is a video interface standard. If does define a type of cable as part of the standard, but the cable is not the entirety of what HDMI is, so new versions of HDMI do not necessarily mean the cable has changed, there are other parts of the HDMI standard besides the cable. The HDMI Specification is a PDF document, a new version of the specification just means edits have been made to that document. The edits could be anything. Sometimes they add new cable requirements, sometimes they don't. Some versions had no technical changes at all, just fixed typos.

 

Different HDMI devices have different capabilities. Some monitors are limited to 60 Hz over HDMI, some aren't. It depends on the manufacturer implementation. If yours is limited, it's just a limitation of that particular monitor, not a limitation imposed by the HDMI standard.
