Dell XPS 15 to 144hz monitor?

[casualnoobuser]

Has anyone else gotten their Dell XPS 15 or laptop similiar to be able to connect to a 144hz monitor? If so what cords did you use and what monitor? (Quick specs i7/gtx 1050/16gb ram) Been looking around the forums and seems like this is pretty uncommon but I want to do this with my machine.

A GTX 1050 supports HDMI2.0 and Thunderbolt 3 (can use an adapter to DisplayPort 1.2), both of which support 1080p/144Hz. Either/Or should work just fine.

I appreciate the reply Bart! So if I bought this http/ display port it should work at 144hz due to my gtx 1050? The monitor i'm looking to pair with is http/

Just looking for quick confirmation before purchasing, again I appreciate it.

The cable won't work, it's mDP to DP. The laptop is populated with Thunderbolt3, which can adapt to DP. Thunderbolt3., from a connector standpoint, uses the USB type-C connector.

The monitor uses HDMI 1.4, so to achieve 144Hz you'll need to use TB3 to DP, yes.

Something like this:
