How to use laptop as another monitor *HIGHER* than 60fps?

Hello,

 

So my goal is what the title entails. How can I use my laptop monitor which runs at 144hz as another monitor for my desktop? I want to use the power that my desktop has to run games at 144fps, and only my laptop has the capability of 144hz. Every screen extender software that I've tested only runs at 60fps which equals 60hz, obviously.

 

Is there anything I could do that enables that 144hz?

 

Thank you.

You can't. Laptops can't be used as display outs AFAIK.

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Correct.

Laptops don't have video in ports, only video out.

 

You can use iPads as displays with Macs, though.
