zypher

Hello, I have a Acer nitro 5 an515-54 and I have connected it to a 165hz monitor via HDMI 2.0, but i am still getting 120hz only, i have tried everything (checked display settings, display adapters, nvidia settings etc..) but still i cant figure it out, is it because my laptop doesn't support that high of a refresh rate, or something else pls help

Hi,

This model supports up to 144Hz in certain monitors through HDMI port.

Hello

@zypher

Your laptop has an HDMI 2.0 port. It doesn't matter if your laptop screen is 120hz. It's to do with your gpu supporting it or not. You can use HDMI to dual-DVI cable to get 144Hz, or use DP to HDMI 2.0 cable for 165Hz. Your monitor supports 165Hz only by using DP input.

Hi @zypher for higher frequencies a Display Port (DP) port may be required as long as the graphics card, driver and monitor allow it.

Yes. Adapters and Adapter cables are used to connect DisplayPort over USB Type-C to an HDMI/VGA input on the HDTV. If the HDTV has a DisplayPort input, then a USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter cable can be used to provide DisplayPort display capability.
