Hello, i have a laptop with a gpu Nvidia GT840M. Can this video card support 144hz monitor?
Cause on my laptop there is only HDMI and VGA display connections, but if i use hdmi to dvi-d adapter, will it work?
As i saw, gt840m has HDMI 1.4b, so can it support 144hz? Or 120hz? Also i read, if i use display port/hdmi adapter can it hold 120hz?

No. You need either HDMI 2.0, Display Port, or Dual Link DVI for 144Hz. Using an adapter will not help-you need native ports. HDMI 1.4b might have the needed bandwidth, but I've not heard of any 144hz monitors that will work with it. The official monitor specs should tell you exactly what type of cable you need.
