How to get 144hz from an HDMI output?

[Doctorfrozo]

Hello!

 

I might be in an unfortunate situation here, so some clarification would be appreciated. I have an Elgato HD60 Pro which routes an HDMI from the GPU and outputs it as another HDMI. I've upgraded my PC and so i've purchased a new 144hz monitor. My concerns come in about how I've been reading that HDMI is not capable of doing 144hz? It seems like I will not be able to take advantage of 144hz and be able to use my capture card at the same time, is this accurate? Any solutions you guys could suggest to me to help would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I can think of that may work is to run DVI to my monitor and also run the HDMI output on my GPU to the capture card at the same time so they are just duplicated as if the capture card is the second screen. 

 

Thank you for reading and for your help!

Could you please give us the exact model of your graphics card, capture card, and monitor?

HDMI 1.4 and higher support it, but the right standard has to be implemented on all devices.

HDMI 1.3+ (so anything with hdmi after 2006) is capable of doing 144hz, it's just that most monitors choose to limit HDMI to 60hz, and make you use Displayport to get the higher rates they offer, so we'd need to know what model your monitor is.

 

 

I'm pretty sure that Elgato is only capable of 60hz though, so it would only output at 60hz anyway.

Thank you this looks very helpful! I will not receive my new monitor until Friday so I will tinker with it then.

Yeah that monitor only allows up to 60hz on the HDMI, you'd have to use the DVI-DL for 144.

 

Should work if you connect the capture card with hdmi and the monitor with DVI like you said, just duplicate the displays.
