Question Connecting a 360Hz Monitor to a Laptop. USB 3.2 Gen 2 Port Compatibility.

[Eligijussz]

Hello everyone,

I Have Asus Tuf Gaming F17 (2022) laptop, and I'm looking to connect it to a 360Hz monitor. The laptop comes with a Thunderbolt 4 port with DP 1.4 (Connected to IGPU) and a USB 3.2 GEN 2 type-c port with DP 1.4 + GSync (Connected to GPU).

I'm a bit puzzled about the USB 3.2 port's capabilities. It's mentioned that its max bandwidth is around 10 GBit, but it also claims to support DP 1.4. My primary concern is whether this USB 3.2 port can handle a 1920x1080 resolution at 360Hz. I want to make sure I can fully utilize the monitor's capabilities, and I'm not sure if the USB 3.2 port can handle it.

As for the Thunderbolt 4 port, I'd prefer not to use it, as it would prevent me from using GSync.

does your laptop not have DP or HDMI? if it does, use that instead.

It has HDMI 2.0 only.

It has HDMI 2.0 only.

you could probably use that then.

you could probably use that then.

It's limited to 240hz.

It's limited to 240hz.

I suppose using the thunderbolt connection would be your only option for 360hz, but of course that means more adapters.
