Question Questions on faster FPS when connecting Laptop to Monitor...?

[Phatisimo]

Noob question as I’m lost on what to do...

• Just bought a MSI GF65 i7 9750 w/1660ti & 16gb Ram Laptop. Also purchased a MSI MAG27C 27” monitor to connect to the laptop. I used the provided HDMI cable to connect the two. The laptop screen is 120hz & monitor is 144hz (I realize I can only get 120hz both ways)
• Issue is when playing Fortnite my FPS on my laptop NOT hooked up to the monitor is around 250-300fps. When monitor is hooked up with HDMI it caps at 120fps... I also tried a USB-C to DisplayPort cable & it states that’s its incompatible with this setup...
• Vsync is off on Nvdia & Fortnite, and framerate is disabled

What am I missing or what do I need to do to get a higher FPS when my Monitor is attached to my laptop?...

Check the Nvidia control panel and make sure Vsync is disabled. Also in game be sure Vsync of framerate cap are disabled.

I've done both of those already.
