i have a lenovo legion 5 laptop with a 1660ti, 8gb ram and a "60hz" display, but i am planning to buy a monitor that has "200hz"refresh rate.
my question is - can i game at anywhere more than 60hz? maybe at 144hz or even 200hz?
specs you'd wanna know - it has HDMI 2.0 and a USB-C 3.2 (DisplayPort™) ports.

depending on the game, you can get above 60 fps

I have written "60hz" I know my fps will be good enough for me. if I wanna play warzone on the laptop hooked to the monitor, will i get 60hz? or 200hz? or a refresh rate above 60hz, but we don't know exactly?
what is the refresh i will see on the monitor when connected to my laptop is the question. (if you want a specific game - warzone, but it doesnt matter)

the fps will vary by game, though the monitor will refresh at its rate, whatever it is

so you're saying i can play my game at 200hz on my monitor although my laptop works at 60hz?

yes. though you probly want to turn off the laptop monitor when you do.

It's no different than if you had a desktop that swapped a 60 hz monitor for a 200 Hz monitor
