The 144Hz monitor operates exclusively at 120Hz.
Hello, I just purchased a 144Hz monitor (ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ) and connected it using HDMI to my Dell XPS 15. The monitor is designed for up to 170Hz, but I can only reach its maximum of 120Hz. My laptop has a mobile graphics card with a 3050Ti and a 1080p display at 60Hz. I’m open to any advice. If you’d like more details about the specs, feel free to ask. Thank you.
Check if Overclocking is available in the Gaming settings of the OSD. It may need a DisplayPort connection. Without it, your laptop might only support 120Hz due to adapter limitations.
it will only reach twice the speed of your monitor's refresh rate (60hz for you). Try using dp if you're using HDMI or vice versa—it might be a cable issue. The system says it's connected to Intel Iris Xe graphics, but that could also be the cause. Check your graphics adapter.
There are HDMI restrictions. You can't exceed 120Hz at 1440p without using DP. For 144Hz, consider a USB-C to DP adapter if you need higher refresh rates.
You understand how to combine several ideas into one message. It’s probably a laptop with no MUX switch, so all video goes through the integrated graphics unit. Likely that’s the case.
If you read it, the person @saejune04 mentioned the laptop uses a 3050ti, not an IGPU.
