hello i think you have a dual external monitor set up, i noticed one vertical and one normal external monitors, did you use any hub for that? thanks

Question. I as well have an acer nitro 5 and when I check my display settings it says 60hz which that is the max my laptop display goes, if I were to connect a monitor with higher hz would I be able to change it to the hz that the monitor runs or will my laptop only be able to run 60hz on that external display.

If I got two external monitors aside from my gaming laptop, should I connect both of them through the thunderbolt port since it has it, with a dual hdmi adapter, or my secondary display through the thunderbolt port and my main display on the hdmi port on the back of the laptop?

Can you use a adapter for displayport because i want to play on displayport and can you please say what sort i need to buy

Thanks!

There is no such thing as "Being built for 60hz". While it's true that GPUs are made with specific resolutions and refresh rates in mind, there is no reason to not run your monitor at it's highest available refresh rate. In other words, No. Don't put your external monitor back to 60hz.

Try using a different HDMI on the monitor. If that doesn’t work, try getting a hdmi to DisplayPort adapter and using a DisplayPort port on the monitor. If that doesn’t work, try plugging another device into the monitor such as a console or another PC. If that doesn’t work, send the monitor back to the manufacturer for a replacement. The board or all of the ports are shot. If plugging another device in gets a signal, send your laptop back to its manufacturer. The onboard HDMI is shot.

I bought a monitor for my laptop and it works perfectly fine on duplicate and extended display options but when I try to play on the monitor by going to second screen only mode the monitor start stuttering like crazy. I have tried restarting while on 2nd screen and the stuttering goes away but as soon as I change the display settings to either extend or duplicate it stutters again. I’ve been looking for a solution for 3 days now and nothing seems to be a permenant fix. I am currently on win10 but I read on a nvidia forum that win11 solve this issue but I really don’t wanna update only to find out that the stuttering didn’t go away. Also does playing on duplicate reduce the performance?

You are GPU bound with the 99%. With it dropping to 27% usage and becoming unplayable, as well as having the lid closed, it sounds to me like thermal throttling. The best way to fix this would be to leave your laptop lid open, and in Display settings select “Only show on 2”

Hi there, I want to get an external monitor because I'm trying to climb games like valorant but I've got to a point where as a 60hz player I'm at a disadvantage to people on 240hz monitors as they can react quicker and have more crispy aim due to smoother gameplay. Instead of buying a whole new PC or gaming laptop, I was thinking of just buying a 144hz external monitor and connecting it up. I already get 90-110fps on valorant, but with an external monitor and potential FPS boost, I'm assuming I'll be able to utilise the refresh rate and have much smoother gameplay. Do you recommend this? Will there be more input delay using an external monitor rather than your laptop monitor?
