Can MX250 run external display with 200 hz?

[xianead]

Hi! It's my first time posting here and I was wondering if my Matebook 13 with mx250 25 watts can run an external monitor with 2560x1080 resolution @ 144 hz? Thank you!

Sure.

 

Until you open a game.

I won't really care much about the fps since i usually cap everything I just want to know if it will be smooth or if there will be some tearing? I'm not really that knowledgeable in these things so yeah

What's the point of 200 Hz if you're going to cap it below that? Just set the external display to something much more reasonable. An MX250, even the more powerful 25W version, is along the lines of a GTX 750 or HD 7750 in terms of graphics power. It's good enough for basic stuff, sure, but asking it to run 200 FPS is a wee bit optimistic.

What if it's an older game like UT99 or HL?

Yeah I've also been playing more indie games and pixel games which runs steadily above 100 fps so I'm okay

It's because I'm gonna use a monitor now because I'm in college and having online classes so I think it can help me with my productivity especially with my game dev classes. I'm also planning to build a pc in the future when I've saved up and I want to buy something that I can use with the pc as well so I don't have to buy a new one in the future to save some money

it'll be fine, at least for productivity.

For those that might try in the future, I'm currently using the MSI Optix G24C4 with my Matebook 13 and it works flawlessly. Games are also running super smooth and I haven't encountered any problem with connection to the monitor!
