Hello, i have the samsung odyssey G7 (27" / 2k / 240hz) and i have ordered Asus Rog Strix G15 G513QM laptop (3060 gpu) in order to combine these two for gaming.
I recently found out that this specific laptop does not have a DisplayPort output, but does have usb-c 3.2 2nd gen if i m not mistaken?

Can someone tell me with 100% certainty if with a proper adapter (usb-c to DisplayPort) i can achieve the 2k+240hz?
I know HDMI can give 2k+144hz or 1080p+240hz (unless i wrong?) but i want the maximum since i m buying a 2021 laptop.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, very similar setup you've got to mine! Only difference is I've got the QR model rather than the QM.

Yes, your USB-C port supports 2k, and while my model maxes out at 165hz, the Asus Rog Strix G15 G513QM gives you 300hz. You'll be able to take advantage of it with USB-C > DP.

.very clever usage of a USB-C to DP with the location on the rear of the unit. I bugged a bunch of people at Microcenter before I bought the cable, didn't wanna return it ;)

Good luck!
