ASUS VG248QE - 2 questions

[Ruttlik]

Hey there,

 

I have a bit of knowledge about all the ports and the 144hz situation but I have 2 questions.

 

Question 1:

I currently own a Asus VG248QE and have that plugged into my GeForce GTX 970 through a Dual Link DVI-D connection and works perfectly fine. I've been wanting to buy another monitor (the same one) and was wondering how I would connect that one into the GeForce GTX 970 aswell as my other one so that I would have 1920x1080 resolution and 144hz on both monitors.

 

Question 2:

I currently own a Asus VG248QE and have a Lenovo Legion Y520 laptop. That laptop only has a HDMI and a USB-C port. As far as I know you can't reach 1920x1080 144hz through HDMI so my question is. Is there any way to connect my ASUS VG248QE to my laptop through a USB-C by using some sort of adapter/converter and still get to see 1920x1080 144hz on the monitor?

 

 

Thank you for any help!

Q1: Yes, but why would you have two gaming monitors when you can only use one? Why not get 3?

 

Q2: Probably not. Is the USB-C even able to give a display signal?

Q1. Just use a DisplayPort cable. That's how I've got mine connected.

 

Q2. I doubt it. Even if you could get a display signal over the USB-C, because it's only USB3.1 you wouldn't get the 144hz. You'll just have to deal with 60hz or whatever you can manage over HDMI.

Thanks for the reply,

 

I only have 1 gaming monitor atm and my question is if it would be possible to connect another one into the GTX 970.

 

This is what i found that the laptop has on the platform specifications: One USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, one Type-C (with the functions of USB 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2), HDMI (1.4), Ethernet (RJ-45), audio combo jack.

So yes it is a USB Type-C with a USB 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 display signal.

Use the Display Ports on the GTX 970.

 

Unless of course your I/O is based off the Kepler era of one DP, one HDMI and two DVI ports. Why some board partners went that route idk...

Well the GTX 970 only has 1 of each of these followings outputs: DVI-D, DVI-I, HDMI and DisplayPort. So if I had 2 ASUS VG248QE monitors and connect one through DVI-D and the other through DisplayPort, do you think that I will be seeing 1920x1080p 144hz on both of them?

DP and DVI-D will work. I've done that with before with XL2430T's. As long as DVI is dual link you're good to go.

 

The nvidia reference design had the "proper" I/O config of 3x DP, 1x HDMI and 1x DVI.

If your laptops USB-C port supports Displayport you can use a cable that goes from USB-C on one end to displayport on the other, I use that cable on my Razer Blade to connect to my VG248Q and it works great at 144Hz.
