Looking to add more monitors to your laptop at 240Hz?
You're facing some setup challenges with your new laptop. The GPU is a 4070, and you're trying to connect two monitors at 240 Hz each. You're seeing only 60 Hz when using the HDMI port, which suggests the cable or port might be limiting performance. Since you prefer DisplayPort over HDMI for your monitors, consider upgrading to a high-quality DisplayPort hub that supports both ports and offers higher refresh rates. This would allow you to extend connections without mirroring and ensure better compatibility.
HDMI 2.1 can handle 1080p at 240Hz. If your laptop and monitor both support it, a quality HDMI 2.1 cable should work fine. The issue might be with the cable itself. Regarding USB-C ports, check the model—some support high refresh rates while others don't. As for hubs, I'm unsure if they can handle multiple monitors at that speed; it likely depends on the hub's capabilities. Were you choosing a laptop because of portability needs? Or do you plan to use it mainly stationary? I usually recommend against laptops if you only intend to keep them fixed, as they offer fewer advantages compared to desktops. Just note that the Amazon search mentions this hub doesn't support 240Hz refresh rates.
Hi, thank you for your message. The spec listed for Type C mentions a 5 Mbps signaling rate. That should comfortably support running two monitors at 240 Hz. Since you have the laptop for portability, it should work well when you're on the go. At home, connecting it to your monitors will give you a seamless experience.
