Question Laptop to external monitor 120hz

[siNpppa]

Hey, I try to keep it as simple as possible:

I have a laptop and an external monitor and I want to use my external monitor @ 120hz

Laptop: Asus Tuf Gaming FX505GM @ 144hz (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-TUF-FX505GM-ES088T.369156.0.html)
Monitor: Asus VG236H @ 120hz

Laptop ports: HDMI
Monitor ports: DVI, HDMI

What i've tried:

• Reinstall Graphics drivers
• Set external monitor as primary
• Use multiple HDMI 2.0 cables (and check they are connected)
• Boot my Computer multiple times
• Create custom resolutions
• Set vsync off, disable xbox game bar, override monitor specifications
• Quite alot of different things, my brain has melted

I can set my monitor only to 60hz (75hz with some potato resolutions) from nvidia and monitor settings, so it's NOT only in-game.
Can this problem be solved with a HDMI->DVI adapter, if so, what kind of adapter it has to be? (Not familiar with the male/female-thing)

Thanks in advance!

Contact ASUS support and see if the HDMI out on that system can run at higher refresh rates and at what resolution. Adapters/converters won't help since what you connect them to has to support it first.
