I have a Helios 300 ph315-51 (the one with 144hz display). I was thinking about building a 3 monitor setup, one of those beeing a 144hz bigger monitor. The question is: can i plug this dock (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FKTZLBS/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=shawnames-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01FKTZLBS&linkId=3c7288c89229c7d2f802f89be99a4fc1) to the usb-c port (with the smaller monitor, internet, etc) and the bigger 144hz monitor directly to the predator hdmi port and still get those sweet 144hz?

    Good evening Erudriel !

    What EXACT model of your laptop?

    Almost all models in this series only have USB Type C 3.1 Gen 1 which cannot transfer video information.
    Only supported version 3.1 Gen 2 and Thunderbolt.

    As for HDMi will depend on the version too, which should be 2.0

    Erudriel as it was already stated above by @MaClane  your usb-c port its gen 1 doesnt support DP you cant use it as display port will not work its not connected to the DGPU neither the IGPU it can only be used for data, only thunderbolt ports or DP ports will work, the only video output you have its the hdmi
