An external monitor with like a 60 hz difference from your laptop will allow more fps, but won’t produce more fps. Say your laptop maxes out at 60fps, your external monitor maxes out at 120fps, you can get up to 120, instead of 60, but your laptop can’t actually get an extra 60fps by plugging in to the monitor
While it is true that the monitor won’t make your laptop render more fps, it will bypass the iGPU in most cases, and cause you to save system resources, thus causing a slight fps gain.
Im having a small issue, when my laptop is connected to my monitor and i go into full screen some games dont look as good as they did when the screen was minimized ive tried a few things so far nothing has fixed it any advice would be appreciated.
Hello thank you for the information I have Asus Tuf gaming 144hz gaming laptop . I’m planning to buy gaming monitor so should i go with 240 hz monitor or 180 which will be better choice coz i play competitive valorant
I have a problem,when I connect my monitor to the laptop using hdmi it doesn't use gtx 1650 like yours it uses the integrated graphics? How do I fix this?
Does it work, when I connect a 1080p gaming laptop to a 1440 gaming Monitor ? I mean can I get the 1440 resolution from the monitor, I'm not quite sure but it should work right ?
Can I connect my Razer Blade FHD 360HZ (screen) RTX 3080Ti GPU i7-12800H to a 4k monitor and game in 4k? Or 1440? Or is the GPU limited to fhd (ie 1080)? I'm seeking to buy a monitor for the laptop, but want to know how high I can go. Want to play MS Flight Sim 2020 mostly in as high a native res as possible. Thank you.
I will buy an RTX 3060 Max on laptop for my birthday and a gaming room next to my chamber, it really helped bc I will buy a monitor to connect my Laptop.
i dont get it! i have 120 fps laptop, if i use 240 fps monitor it should run games at 240 fps?? 🤔 i want to reduce the load over my laptop, will it work ?
i have asus zephyrus g15 with rtx 2060 max q and 240hz refresh rat..im planning to buy a 240hz external monitor do you think i can maximize the monitor specs,?
I'm having the same problem with my laptop and I noticed it when I sold my external monitor Is there anyway to get solve this problem without an external screen ??!
It depends on you graphics processor. If you have anything of the last 2 years or so you should be able to get close to that 144hz in most esports titles.
ok , so i got a laptop to do car stuff - and then thought hmm why not play Dayz on ir ? So after much tinkering - tried 3 different monitors i came to the conclusion it depends on your laptop , graphics card and most importantly your Monitor! Your pc/laptop will only run as good as your Monitor - so , if your monitor is 60hz and your laptop is 120hz you will get max 60 fps no matter what! I now run 3050ti 64gb 850x ryzen 5 6600 usb-c to display port to a Benq 287qm Laptop is 1080p 120hz monitor is 240hz - games look beautiful now! Invest in a decent monitor !!!
@@BGDave i found the issue i was having. when loading into games my monitor would cap its refresh rate to 60. and i just had to tweak somethings. this video was very helpful also!. love the content and hope you have a good day!
@@CelineSZN when using a monitor make sure in ur display settings move the monitor if using a gaming laptop it will have the monitor as 2 drag that infront. then scroll down to only show 2nd monitor. then advanced display settings make sure that whatever the monitors cap is mines a 120 so make sure that ur refresh rate is the max hrz for that monitor. then on this video go to 5:33
chez. what will happen if I buy a 240 hz monitor for my laptop which has gtx1650ti and 144hz and what should I keep the monitor's default display hz in 144, 165 or 140hz? and thanx for ur video it really helped me a alot!!
Maybe u have connected to the cpu instead of the gpu. Go to your Nvidia control panel and in the first block, out of the three blue options pick the second one, it will show you if your external monitor is connected to GPU or CPU. (I don't remember what the options were called lol)
Got 60hz predator Helios 1050ti, shit thermals, doesn't undervolt well, did thermal pasting once but still crosses 90 on aaa titles. Sadly gotta stick to less GPU intense games. Which monitor should I go with for realy good 4k quality, less bezels & moderate gaming?
I checked techpowerup's website and 4k is not even a listed resolution for the GTX 1050ti. 1080p is yellow (meaning barely playable) and 1440p is red (meaning not playable). www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1050-ti.c2885
Hello bro My laptop is 144hz My laptop dosen have dp port I bought 240hz gaming monitor my game is giving me 190-200 fps now but i want to buy Dp cable so should i buy Dp adapter to connect it or should i buy hdmi to Dp cable
i am going to us external monitor on my laptop that have 60 fps ,and it over heat when i increase game resolution does connecting laptop to monitor make laptop heat lower with higher fps?
It depends on how you orient your laptop. If you put your laptop under a blanket or close it on your desk, it will be hotter than if you left it opened.
I have ryzen 5 5500u laptop 60hz and gets around 90 fps with one stick of ram, will buying 120 hz monitor useful. Will fps drop and i will get to 120hz right
Buying the monitor and connecting it itself won’t get you above the 120hz mark. I would recommend upgrading your ram to a dual channel kit, this should increase it enough that connecting the monitor allows you to hit the 120fps target.
I have acer nitro 5. I played valorant on that but problem is fps is very low like 75-100. My display 144hz but my laptop can't generate 144fps. If i buy a acer nitro 165hz monitor can i get a 165fps on valorant? Sry my english is not good.
when i connect it to my monitor it is a 144hz and my laptop is 60hz it says LG ULTRAGEAR is connected to Intel R UHD Graphics how do i make it connect to the MX330 in the laptop?
What do i do, i have a low end laptop,and i connected it to a monitor and set it on "Only on second screen". but my fps drops so much;-; , Do u know why the fps drops so much. (Laptop:60hz(complatible with 120hz) Monitor:165hz )
It could be a 768/720p laptop being connected to a 1080p display. This could cause drops. Also check to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
hey we have similar laptops although my Acer nitro 5 has a processor of 11th Gen intel(R) core(TM) i5-11300H but I’m getting roughly 80-100fps on fortnite 144hz… I’m buying a 165hz monitor will it boost my fps and performance???
Im having 220 to 240 fps in valorant. Will my fps drop or increase if I add a monitor? Or its just a different experience on a 15inches monitor and a 24inches monitor
You will gain an FPS boost from the external monitor. I would go out on a limb and say that you won’t be able to tell the difference between 240 and 300hz to begin, so I would base my decision more off of if you want an external monitor or not, and if you want to use your laptop for a more desktop like experience.
I have a Ryzen 5 quad core 3550H, GTX 1650 and 16gb ram. I play Valorant on all low settings and I get 120 fps and drops till 70-80 during intense skill battle whereas on the other hand my friend with same specs but with intel processors gets around 140-150 constant on same graphic settings. I’m getting a 165hz monitor next week , will I get any fps boost ?
You will see a slight boost. Refer to one of my FPS boost videos for further help. Here is my most recent video (Not for valorant, but should still help): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QSwobiIUK3g.html&si=l7zwtaEzTBtjgwC6
hi, i have a 60hz screen laptop, i play lol-csgo-valorant ... should i buy a 165hz monitor? is it good even i get 100+fps in these games? will there be differences? bc even i get 100+fps, bc of 60hz it is not a good experience in valorant-csgo :( not bad for lol.
@@androidgk2009 if you go into your Nvidia control panel you can check if your hdmi cable is directly connected to your discrete graphics, if not it’s either because your hdmi port isn’t directly connected into your discrete graphics and you might have to buy a cable to plug into your lightning port which is usually the port that is connected to your discrete graphics. you also have to make sure that the hdmi cable or lightning port to hdmi cable that your using also supports the hz your monitor has. (Ex. 120hz monitor needs 120hz hdmi cable). I
hi pleas ei need help pls reply i wanted to ask cause i have a laptop its bad but in creative on low settings can get like 120 130 fps but like in arena it cant even stable 60 fps its so unplayable i was trna upgrade but im scared if i buy a monitor and my laptop cat hold it i would waste money i have a 60herts laptopc can i get like a higher refresh rate monitor and still get the herts on the mon itor and play on that herts in game pls reply
You could get high refresh rate on the montior. However I would recommend buying a better laptop that can actually satisfy your monitor before buying the monitor.
It's a bad idea in my experience as you laptop will just overheat as cpu an gpu temps sky-rocket an laptop will reboot randomly as it's not designed to game on a larger display at higher resolution
The way I keep my laptop oriented, it still maintains proper cooling, in fact better in most cases because I have something elevating the back off of the desk so it can suck fresh air in easier. As for the display comment, the display size has nothing to do with it. The resolution (as you mentioned) can affect it however, but it doesn’t because the external monitor I have, has the same resolution as my laptop’s internal display, so no issues here. I have been using this setup for years and it has worked beautifully.
It should slightly boost your FPS. The best plug and play way to boost your FPS significantly for your laptop would be to install a 16gb kit of ram. Here is a reliable kit on Amazon: www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-PC4-25600-Unbuffered-Notebook-Computer/dp/B08T1D76WH/ref=sr_1_4?crid=37Q7U9Q4O6QVD&keywords=2x8gb%2Bsodimm&qid=1689312467&sprefix=2x8gb%2Bsodimm%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-4&th=1

Hi, I play valorant and got to a rank where I'm at a disadvantage being at 60hz because everyone else have powerful PC's at 240hz. I already get 90-110 fps, And given that external monitors boost FPS I'm hoping to get aroud 130-150fps with the monitor. I don't care about the fps boost, more so just about having more than 60hz for smoother gameplay as it will really help my aim out. If I get an external monitor, do you genuinely feel its far better difference than playing on 60hz? is there any sort of input delay?
I THINK the input lag should be minimal since is a wired connection, also if you have some input lag probably the difference between the input lag of your laptop’s screen is higher than the gamer monitor with the input lag added
The difference going from 60-144hz is INSANE. It feels like a whole different game/pc. I do believe you could achieve 144fps with the boost fairly well.
Nice video bro but i have a problem. I have a laptop MSI GF63 thin 11UD which have an intern screen 144hz. I bought a msi 170hz gaming monitor but Im stuck at 120hz when I connect the monitor to my laptop. How can i get at least 144 hz ? Btw the monitor came with a display port cable but the msi laptop doesnt have one :(
@@botplays8977 HDMI 2.0 can manage up to 240 hz, 165 hz on 1440p tho? It's probably were the dedicated grafic card is located, or look the version of the port.
@@botplays8977 In that case your indeed right, dunno what could be the solution if thats the problem, it's key to look the specs of the monitor to match with the device.
@@BGDave laptop specs Intel i5 10th gen gtx 1650 16gb ram and 60 hz display If eye get external monitor like 120 to 144hz how much fps me get in pubg pc, war zone etc Thanks thanks
Don't buy a higher refresh rate monitor if your laptop can't push out more frames than the refresh rate of the monitor. It's actually a better deal to get a 60hz/75hz one if you struggle with frame rate, as 60 fps will look better on a 60hz monitor than on a 120hz one.
While that might be true, there is some invalidity of that statement. If you have a LAPTOP that supports Optimus, you will be using extra resources sending frames to the internal display. By disabling Optimus, you don’t have to use the iGPU to send frames to the display. Which in turn means you don’t have to use the system RAM that the iGPU needs to function. Therefore increasing fps ever so slightly. Also, it is hertz (hz), not "heartz (htz)".
@@BGDave fps is the game frames per second, hz, is the monitor frames. It’s completely different. Wouldn’t make sense for the pc GPU to boost the hz up right. Wouldn’t make sense if the hz boost your GPU to.
I know what the difference is. I built my pc. While you’re correct that having a gpu connected to a monitor wouldn’t boost the monitor hz (well actually it does because without a GPU there is no signal to the display), you are incorrect that having a monitor connected to the GPU does not boost frames. You are completely bypassing another part of the computer, therefore freeing up more resources to the game. Refer from 5:32 to see why it happens.
