Hello I'm trying to figure out if I can run a 144Hz monitor with my laptop. My specs are :
ASUS ROG GL502VM
CPU: i7-7700HQ Quad-Core, 2.8 GHz with Turbo up to 3.8 GHz
RAM: 16GB (8GB onboard + 8GB) DDR4 2133MHz SDRAM
Ecrã: 15.6″, FHD 1920 x 1080
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5

Interface:
1 x HDMI
1 x mini Display Port

I think I have my monitor with Gsync does that cause any problem? Or does it mean I ahve to get a Gsync compatible monitor

Thank you in advance
 
Solution
You'll have 144Hz & Gsync support over mini Displayport. But external monitor has to have Gsync or Freesync to experience the feature externally.

Mini Displayport has same functionality as normal Displayport so an adapter cable is fine.
