60 hz laptop output display to 144hz monitor

[jynxxistaken]

I am currently using a HP Gaming Pavilion - 15-dk0010tx. I have been on the internet for a while looking for proper specs of this laptop regarding the HDMI port version. To my understanding, 144hz requires the laptop to have a 2.0 HDMI port. I have searched a lot, and most websites only list the laptop has a "HDMI x1 Port"

 

So, main question here, is my laptop able to support 144hz 1080p output? Currently ordered a 70hz monitor instead of a 144 as it is cheaper and I still do not know if my laptop will be able to support 144hz output. The laptop does have a USB C port, guessing could do a USB C to DP adapter for 144hz.

Did not find under under the SKU you mentioned, but all HP Gaming laptops from 2019 onwards seem to have HDMI 2.0. 

 

HOWEVER, HDMI 1.4 can run 144hz without any issues - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

144 Hz has been common for long enough that I would expect that unless HP is using very old HDMI specifications, which is just poor design, I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Now is your GPU in your laptop actually capable of running 1080p144 in the applications you use?

Yes that is the issue, the have improper specifications labelling. Thank you for searching up, hoping to just feel 144 hz without buying a new laptop

A few games/apps are well over 144 hz, but going for a 144hz monitor but having 120-144 fps is not an issue right?

Yeah, weird. But there is absolutely no way a laptop built in the past 5 years has a lower HDMI spec than 1.4

Nope. You might get some tearing now and then, but no, there should be no major issues.

It can be. Adaptive sync features are a must personally if I am playing games at less than 144 FPS on a 144 Hz monitor. This is mostly because of screen tearing, which can be a real problem sometimes. VSYNC can fix this, but it adds input lag and is almost universally considered not a good option. If your laptop's GPU is a discrete GPU from Radeon or Nvidia, they may have support for FreeSync or G-Sync, which are their respective adaptive sync technologies. In which case when you buy a 144 Hz monitor you will want one with support for that feature. Only the most premium monitors have support for both. 

 

If u do have a discrete GPU you can start searching through your graphics card's control panel and find if your's supports it. Ryzen APU's also have support for freesync from what I can tell.
