Dell G7 144hz external monitor capable?

[munsonberry]

So i just picked up a dell G7 laptop and want to use an external monitor. The G7 is equipped with an HDMI 2.0 port as well as a thunderbolt 3 port. my question is will the 2.0 HDMI output 144hz to a compatible monitor? If not how would i go about getting 144hz? The little info i know is the HDMI port is capable of 60hz @ 4k however im only looking to get 1080@ 144hz. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
