Hey guys,

Just bought a Acer Predator XB1 and its connected to my ASUS ROG Strix GL502VM-FY040T 15.6" Gaming Laptop.

When I load up Overwatch I am limited to only 70FPS however, why is this when its a 144hz monitor? I dont have the DP cable plugged in, only HDMI and this is because my laptop doesnt seem to have a DP input, only a Mini DP.

If I get a DP to DP Mini adapter will that allow me to get a higher FPS?

Thanks in advance
 
Solution

So it does have DP :p Mini DP is a type of DP port, it is exactly the same capabilities just a different shape connector.

Get a DP to Mini DP cable.
