Gaming monitor

Hi dear people of the forever friendly and awesome fGunZ community.


I have a gaming laptop (ASUS ROG GL552VW-CN471T)

Can i hook up a BenQ XL2411

And still have smoother and better response time than my laptop monitor?

this sounds like a retarded question but i really don't know ok pls answer

Look up both refresh rates?

yes? I dont see why you couldnt. That benq is much better

Yes, you can hook it up to that monitor but gaming wouldn't be as smooth as it should be.

Your gpu is a 960m so lower than a gtx 750ti and gtx 950 and the BenQ XL2411 is a 144hz monitor..

You can connect the screen to your laptop and use it for every day use.
But when you're gaming you have to lower your game settings to play on 144hz, because your gpu is not strong enough.

60Hz or 120Hz doesn't change my FPS in League of Legends... but it does make it much smoother as long as I run at a stable 120FPS.
But also something simple as making circles with my cursor on the 120Hz monitor vs the 60Hz monitor, 120Hz much smoother and nicer for the eyes.

The only thing you have to keep in mind is that if you buy a 144 Hz monitor but you are unable to reach 144+ FPS you will not benefit the full 100% of the monitor [correct me if I am wrong]. So besides the heavy new-gen games you will benefit from the extra smoothness of the 144Hz, less input lag, etc.. And then there is GSYNC and stuff I am totally unfamiliar with. But Google can be your friend, though.

Try searching something like: "144Hz monitor without 144 FPS"

Correct
Monitor doesn't effect you're fps the only problem is people buy 144hz monitors without knowing if their GPU can maintain 144 fps or above.
Which is why you have to lower your game settings to meet your monitors requirements.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. How do I know if my GPU can manage to keep up with my monitor?
Sorry for the retarded questions, and thanks for yo anwers

Games like lol, rocket league, csgo, etc. Easy to run games.

Either way it doesnt really matter whether it can keep up with your monitor, just think of it as an extra feature.

I used three monitors, my main monitor in the center being the ACER X34. I had two 1080p monitors as bookends and really liked the setup. I have a corner desk and all of the monitors fit pretty well along the walls/turn in the desk without using up too much desk real estate. I had to give up one of the monitors for my daughters computer but all is well, they are coming along nicely.
You can also get some advices from the link.
