      Always update. If your game updates do the same with your GPU drivers. Saves you trouble from troubleshooting any bugs or small defects when playing.

    Hello, I wanted to know if when playing with an external monitor the video card gets hotter or deteriorates faster? Is it safe to do it? I ask because I use a 24-inch 144 Hz monitor and I can't get used to playing with a smaller monitor. thank you so much

    • @eder.merino
      @eder.merino 3 месяца назад

      Cry. In that case, it means that the HDMI output is handled by the CPU through the integrated graphics, not the graphics card itself, so you're really limited in options.

I can set the resolution and refresh rate to 4K 60Hz with no problems however if I change the refresh rate to 144Hz, the laptop blue screens. Also, on 1080P it can do 120Hz, but 144Hz blue screens the laptop. Any solutions?

    • @BGDave
      @BGDave  Год назад +4

      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.

Should I use a hdmi 2.0 cable or 1.4 cable and could you link the cable that supports 144hz or 165hz for the monitor. Btw the monitor supports only 1.4 hdmi cables.

      If you’re running your laptop with the monitor plugged in, you should be running with the laptop’s charger plugged in. If you MUST use the monitor without the charger, yes it will use more power, as you’re rendering multiple displays on the laptops processors.

    • @BGDave
      @BGDave  Год назад

      If the external monitor is 165hz, it will be the only screen that can show 165hz. Connecting a 165hz monitor to the laptop doesn’t make the laptop panel 165hz.

    I just bought a new LG monitor, it says to get gsync to work I have to use the displayport 1.4. Now my USB C 3.2 as well as my HDMI 2.1 both are connected directly to my graphics card. If I don't have a displayport on my laptop does that mean I can't get gsync to work? I heard you can use the USB c 3.2 to connect to the monitors displayport. Is that correct?

    • @BGDave
      @BGDave  8 месяцев назад

      Typically GSync doesn't work over HDMI, and if it does it limits you to 60hz. I do not have experience with Type C, especially if it's not thunderbolt 3 or 4. Your best bet would be displayport.

      It will not reduce actual input lag but it will reduce the amount of input lag you feel.

      You can, but if you use your laptop for anything performance intensive, it could cause thermal throttling.
