Can my integrated Graphics run 1440p 144hz and 4k 144hz?

[Aymvnz]

I have a Core i7 1065G7 CPU with Intel Iris Plus Graphics as well as an NVIDIA GeForce MX330 laptop GPU. I have a 1440p 144hz monitor and it's stuck at 1080p. Does my PC support higher? (also if possible does it support 4K?)

[n_scott_pearson]

In some respects, the answer depends upon whether the iGFX or the dGFX owns the display output(s). In most cases (but not all), the dGFX outputs through the iGFX and the iGFX owns the display outputs. The iGFX capabilities are likely the lower of the two. 

Before I continue, when you say 1440p, I presume that you mean a WQHD 2560x1440 monitor, correct? If it is instead an UWQHD 3440x1440 monitor, answers will be different.

The HDMI limit is 4096x2304@60Hz. This means that you should be able to support your WQHD monitor at 120Hz or, in perfect conditions, perhaps 144Hz.

The DisplayPort limit is 5120x3200@60Hz. This means that you should easily be able to support your WQHD monitor at 144Hz or even higher.

Now, if this isn't being achieved, each first thing to look at is the quality and capabilities of the cable. Secondary issue with this is port type selected (HDMI vs. DisplayPort).

The third thing to look at is the driver. What driver version do you have installed?

That's a good start,

Thank you! My monitor is WQHD, my laptop does not a have DisplayPort connection. My primary use would be Gaming at 1440p 144hz and I wanted to make sure it was able to work. Do you think if I get a 4k 144hz monitor it would be supported as well as be able to run AAA Games?

[Aymvnz]

I also presume by iGFX and dGFX you mean dedicated and integrated gpus, if so, my computer only has IGPU outputs and inputs does this still work with 1440p WQHD 144 Hz or no.

[n_scott_pearson]

They're called Discrete and Integrated, but you have it right.

I have seen other laptops where the resolution of any attached monitor is limited to that of the laptop's embedded display. To see if this is the case, you need to contact the vendor for this laptop.

I don’t know if my computer keeps the resolution of my computer for external monitors. I have connected it to my 4K tv, and it has been able to go up to 1440p as well as 4K but at 30hz(that is the max refresh rate on my tvs hdmi ports). my laptop is an HP Envy notebook. Does this mean it is compatible or just able to output WQHD 144hz?

I suppose your Laptop is model 9YN71EA. Please refer to this:

https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06598442.pdf

HDMI 2.0 = 18 Gbps maximum bandwidth.

4K @ 144 Hz is not possible.

4K @ 60 Hz RGB 8 bpc ... OK

4K @ 60 Hz YCbCr 4:2:0 10 bpc ... OK

2560 × 1440 @ 144 Hz RGB 8 bpc ... Borderline. But this resolution is not standard according to CTA, so it may not be compatible with your TV. Which model is this?

But there is more:

Nvidia GeForce MX330 is Pascal architecture. Intel Iris Plus is part of the Ice Lake architecture.
Both theoretically provide DisplayPort 1.4 (HBR3, 32 Gbps) and HDMI 2.0b (18 Gbps).

To take a closer look at the system

• please run the Intel System Support Utility (SSU) for Windows and attach the export file here.
• generate a Report for Intel Graphics Drivers as well and attach it here.

It would be best if you ran both diagnoses twice, once with the TV and once with the monitor.

[Aymvnz]

Yes, that is my laptop, so your saying that i should get a displayport to type C adapter and use that instead? My TV is the Samsung 7 Series 4K UHD Powered by TIZEN Chip. (I plugged both devices with a hdmi connection)

here are the summarys

[n_scott_pearson]

No, you have the 'to' stated incorrectly. You need to make sure that the 'to' is correct. An adapter that says 'XXXXX to USB-C' has the signals going in the wrong direction and will not work. You want a USB-C to XXXXX adapter, where XXXXX is either DisplayPort or HDMI. Again, you want to purchase either a 'USB-C to DisplayPort' or a 'USB-C to HDMI' adapter.

Let me first summarize what we can see from the diagnostic data.

The connection type is always HDMI.

The monitor is a Samsung C27F390 (1x VGA, 1x HDMI 1.4), made in week 6 of 2021, maximum resolution according to the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is: 1920 × 1080 @ 72 Hz (DTD5).

--> Are you sure the monitor should be capable of 1440p?

The TV is also a Samsung, made in week 1 of 2020, maximum resolution according to the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is: 3840 × 2160 @ 60 Hz (16:9, CTA VIC 97, YCbCr 4:2:0, maximum TMDS clock = 300 MHz).

Please set the HDMI port to which the laptop is connected to HDMI UHD Color = ON

This raises the signal to HDMI 2.0 level (600 MHz TMDS) and you should be able to display 4K @ 60 Hz with HDR via the laptop. This is the maximum possible for this TV. If you have any problems, please replace the cable with a Premium High Speed HDMI cable.

Conclusion:

In this your case, the USB-C > DisplayPort cord will not help because the monitor does not have a DisplayPort connector and neither does the TV. HDMI 2.0 bandwidth (18 Gbps) is sufficient.

OH **bleep**, my bad for not specifying. I meant that I’m going to buy a monitor that is 1440P (with AMD freesynce or nvida gsync) and I wanted to see if my computer would run that at 144 hz. again I’m so sorry, so are you saying. that my computer can run 1440P 144 Hz and there is no need for the adapter or is there a need for the adapter? once again, I’m so sorry for the mishap. The monitor i am getting is displayport compatible so theoretically my computer should be able to run with a USBc to displayport or just hdmi. I also don’t know how to change the advanced display settings on windows 11 as the menu is different

[MUC · Accepted solution]

No problem!

As a 144 Hz monitor, it should feature a DisplayPort 1.4 port that works according to the HBR3 protocol. You should then use something like this: USB-C > DisplayPort Cable (32 Gbps)

Since both Nvidia Pascal and Intel Ice Lake do not support Display Stream Compression (DSC), only uncompressed transmission can take place: 

2560 × 1440 @ 144 Hz RGB 10 bpc (HDR) = 23 Gbps ... OK

Calculation based on VESA Coordinated Video Timing Reduced Blanking. So this should not be a problem.

But please note that the laptop's graphics performance is limited by its compact design. It's possible that 1440p gaming won't run smoothly with such high refresh rates.

Don't hesitate to contact us again here.

Thank you so much! https://www.walmart.com/ip/GIGABYTE-G27Q-27-144Hz-1440P-Gaming-Monitor-2560-x-1440-IPS-Display-1ms-MPRT-Response-Time-92-DCI-P3-VESA-Display-HDR400-FreeSync-Premium-1x-DisplayP/230808616 this is the monitor I am going to purchase, do you think my computer can run GTA5 smoothly with the monitor? (that is the most hardware-demanding game I have).

[MUC]

This is an 8-bit panel with a DisplayPort 1.2 (HBR2) connector. But that doesn't matter. With 8-bit, the required data rate is reduced accordingly:

2560 × 1440 @ 144 Hz RGB 8 bpc (HDR) = 17.64 Gbps... OK (CVT-RB v2)

This should even work with the monitor featured HDMI 2.0 ports and you can just try your existing cable before buying something new.

Running games depends on many system factors, unfortunately I can't estimate that, you'll have to try it out.

[Aymvnz]

Thank you so much!! i will definitely be buying that one then. you guys have all been such a good help. i will try usin my laptop with the hdmi port as you said and then i’ll see if i need a adapter
