How to get144hz on External monitor from G751JY-DH73-CA ?

[mattyfinch]

Title says it all. I have a G751JY-DH73-CA with the 980m GPU. Just purchased a 24" benq 144hz monitor. Using the HDMI out i am only getting 60 hz on 1920x1080.

Going through the settings in the nVidia panel provided no solution.

Is it not possible with HDMI? If not, what do i need as an adapter to make it work?

Thanks.

I had to use a DIsplayPort cable with my 144hz ASUS monitor to get the full available refresh rate. HDMI kept me locked at 60hz.

Am i missing the display port on the computer? I dont see it on the side of my laptop. Where is it?

Its a mini-DisplayPort inbetween HDMI and USB on the right hand side. I bought this - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0034X6SCY/ - and its been working brilliantly!

Except for the graphics glitching and crashing I've been having....but that's been regardless of the display output I use.

so do you run this by itself, or with the hdmi ?

I see the port now. Will go grab the cable, just need to know if i run it alone, or with the HDMI

I personally run with only one extra monitor - one DisplayPort cable from the laptop to the monitor. No HDMI in use at all at the moment. This should get you the 144hz refresh rate, easy! Let us know if this isnt the case - folks around here are generally really helpful!
