Solved! Help with a laptop and a monitor

[askmesome691]

Hi so i was wondering if this laptop https/www.ultrabookreview.com/19469-acer-nitro-5-review-coffee-lake/ can run on my 144hz screen ViewSonic XG2402 2

the laptop only has hdmi and 1x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C

1. can i get at list 120hz with that laptop on my screen if i buy an adaptor or something to hdmi or usb c?

As a rule of thumb HDMI can only support 120Hz, and here is what I found about USC-C:

Also a 1050Ti will deliver 144Hz only in less demanding games, like CS.

Adapters won't change the restrictions of the original hardware. If you buy a Ferrari body for a Camry you won't all of sudden get Ferrari performance since the core will still be a Camry.

USB C video cards would not be for gaming, they are slower and for basic/business use.
