Can HDMI cable do 144hz?

[GotBetrayed]

Just purchased an MSI optix G271 monitor, don't think it comes with displayport. Not sure if the included HDMI cable is good enough for 144hz?

"Display Port: 1920 x 1080 (Up to 144 Hz)"
"HDMI: 1920 x 1080 (Up to 144 Hz)"

From the specs given on the official web, so u jus use the given hdmi cable should be alright

wont have adaptive sync if you use hdmi

Thanks for input guys. So use dp instead of the hdmi provided is better right?
Anyway the graphics card is gtx 1060 so don’t think can drive 144hz.

Depends on games and in game settings. Csgo surely can hit 200. Lol

Anyway, just use dp if you have the cable around and don’t need the syncing features.

Precisely because you cannot reach 144hz in harder to run games that you would want freesync to work.

Pretty sure DP cable is provided

Yes. I read reviews and complaints that display port cable is not provided for this monitor. That’s why.

I also need free sync/g sync compatibility to work.

I mainly play overwatch only.

freesync can work on hdmi even at 144hz

DisplayPort cable not provided with a lot of monitors. Anyway, I had the 1060. If you wanna run OW on 1080p 144hz I think still can run on high. 1440p maybe med-high

Base on your monitor product page, it only states freesync support but no "gsync-compatible" support.

So, HDMI should be fine.

If it is a 1080p monitor, it can go up to 240Hz. I am using HDMI to connect to my BenQ monitor running at 240Hz now.

But for the BenQ, it does not have G-Sync and FreeSync since I am depending on the ULMB. But I've been playing multiple online games on it with no tearing. 240Hz ftw.

 

[GotBetrayed]

Thanks guys. Read that although only got free sync support, g sync works fine.
So wanted to prevent screen tearing. As I only play overwatch mainly so it should be ok. Just worried that gtx 1060 cannot drive 144hz on 1080p which is why I wanted to incorporate the g sync function.

In my own house I use rtx 2060 and LG 32gk850 g full g sync monitor. So I have never experienced screen tearing etc. Not sure how good is this msi monitor etc.

Wa bro... you so power 240 hz. What graphics card?
To be honest I am used to gaming on 2k 32 inch monitor.
Right now is for my grandma house com so is only 27 inch 1080p, not sure what kind of graphic card I should use to drive it etc.

Wrong question. You should ask 'what game's?

Even the upcoming GTX 3080 or Big Navi won't be able to run modern games at 240fps

If you want to use "gsync-compatible" function, must use DP cable to test. Even then monitor might not correctly if it's not on Nvidia's official list.

I only want to run overwatch etc. Other games like dark souls 3 I only play 60fps.
May wanna try running code vein next time at 144fps. 240fps too high lol. Crazy haha but think achievable in overwatch with 3080.

Yes only free sync function... no g sync listed and this monitor is dam new no youtube reviews
