If you have a hdmi connection, you can connect your fridge if it also has hdmi.

Check your ports, better question is, will your 1050 run much things at 144+ FPS.

Yes, just go to nvidia control panel and change the refresh rate to 144 Hz.

If the HDMI suppots the 144Hz you can connect a 144Hz monitor, it will run at 144Hz.

But Hz and FPS arent the same thing.

The 1050 is an older budget card, which will have lots of troubles pushing 144 frames ever second, even on just 1080p.

 

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
