Can NVIDIA GTX 960M handle 144 Hz?

[sGaard]

Hi

I have been looking for a monitor for my ASUS G501JW-CN030H which has a GTX 960M GPU. The monitor I have been looking at is the ASUS VG248QE. I have called ASUS Support but they couldn't answer my question. My question is: can this setup handle 144 Hz if I use a Mini Displayport to Displayport cable? I know that the monitor supports 144 Hz but do my notebook support 144 Hz?

It may be able to handle it, but settings may have to be turned down in games and such/it may not work well. I would take A nice 60hz monitor instead.

Okay thanks for your answer but does Hz have impact on a PC's performance?

No, it simply allows a higher displayed frame rate.

On a normal 60hz monitor, any frame rate higher than 60fps will cause frames to be skipped(or cause screen tearing) as the monitor can only refresh 60 times a second.

^ exactly. Your 960m probably will not be consistently over 60fps, so not really worth it. get a good 60 hz monitor, more worth your money.

I am getting over 60 fps in the games that I play CS:GO is 100-150 fps and CoD: Black Ops 2 is 80-120 but I am mostly playing CS:GO

Does any of you know if I can get 144 Hz over the Mini Displayport to Displayport if I buy this monitor
By the way here is a link to a discussion where the "Best solution" answer says that refresh rate doesn't affect perfomance

you can get 144hz over display port

Sorry I didn't mean it impacts Performance - I meant you may have to turn down games settings to get high enough frame rates to make 144hz worth it.

you can get 144hz over display port

Thanks for your answer

you can get 144hz over display port

Even if the resolution is 1920x1080? I know that I have asked this question several times but I just want to be sure before I but a monitor

Yeah it can. HDMI 1.3 will do it too along with Dvi-d

HDMI 1.3 cannot do 120hz or higher at 1080p as far as i know...

 

[ar2uro]

Multiple sources stated it could do 144hz

Edit nvm it can't, my mistake.

Needs to be HDMI 1.4 according to the spec I believe.
