Hello,

Yesterday i just received a 240hz monitor : Asus xg258
But the issue that i have is that i can't set it to 240hz, i connected it through display port and the best frenquency that i can get is 144hz (1920x1080).
My laptop is a Asus g551JM with Optimus technology, so my monitor is connected to my intel graphics 4600 graphic card and i can't set my monitor to be connected at my GTX860M, which only has in its panel "3D settings".
The weird thing is that when i go to my intel graphics panel -> Option and assistance -> Information center -> Numeric display XG258, it shows that it can allows "1920x1080 (240p Hz)"
Does someone know if it's only because intel hd graphics can't afford 240hz or i just did something wrong ?

make sure the monitor itself is set to 240hz? (though monitor settings)

I would have suggested putting the money you spent on that monitor towards building a desktop. I used to play on a laptop connected to a monitor and all it did was cause problems. I don't believe you'll be able to get over 144hz with your current setup.

maybe you don't have a good enough cable?

There is no option in the monitor settings to change frequency

I'm not that sure of my display port version, but i'm pretty sure that it can shows 240hz @1920x1080

can hdmi carry enough bandwidth for 240hz at 1920x1080?

if so, i would try to replicate the problem by using hdmi

Only HDMI 2.0, but i suppose that my hdmi entrance is not 2.0

Obviously not in 6's or hl, but i do have min 300 fps in ultiduo / mge, so that's cool enough

The HD 4600 doesn't support DVI Dual Link so that's right out.
It doesn't support >300 MHz HDMI pixel clock so you can't even get 144 Hz, only 120 Hz.
DisplayPort could work in theory. Same problem as with 120/144 until a year or two ago: Intel doesn't have standardized resolutions for that so you'll have to set a custom one in the driver.
Good luck with that, it's usually broken.

The input lag more or less defeats the purpose of a 240 Hz monitor anyway, but obviously that didn't stop you from buying it.

Edit : for those who has optimus like me, i tried the software CRU to create custom resolutions and i managed to get 215hz, i tried over but i can't do 220hz, it just makes my monitor black screen,

Thx Setsul !
