I want to purchase a 144 monitor and attach it to my lenovo g70-70 laptop, but my laptop does not have dvi port..have a vga port I think. So can I use an vga to dvi adaptor in order to connect it to that monitor? ( i want to get 144 hz that the reason I want to buy it)
 
I have this port besides hdmi .https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lenovo+g70+vga+port&client=ms-android-samsung&biw=360&bih=559&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwisk7bLuY_KAhVDvBoKHUvUAikQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=38bxQ7aPwENZSM%3A. And if I use hdmi with dvi adapter i will have 144 hz with that graphic card?. Thank you.
 
laptop has hdmi port on it so see what port is on the monitor. if monitor has hdmi on it as most likely then just need hdmi male to male cable.
