144Hz Monitor
I bought a 144Hz monitor to play recent games like Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Tomb Raider 2013, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Rader to run nice and smooth. I have a GT 1030 gaming pc and i want to know will my pc support 144Hz or 120Hz? because someone on amazon wrote a review and uploaded a photo of the 144Hz monitor screen shows that they have RX 570 pc and it supports 120Hz. I couldn't buy a GTX 750 ti pc cuz it was $349 and that's too expensive. This 144hz monitor is Compatible with Freesync and G-Sync so it's a real gaming monitor. My GT 1030 is Nvidia GeForce and not a AMD Radeon.

I also did research that the GT 1030 does support 120Hz using a display port connector (which it comes with the 144hz monitor) When i hook up this 144hz monitor i want to set my graphics settings to either max or high on Residet Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remake cause those games stutter and i got the graphics set to low and right now i have a 75hz sceptre monitor and i don't think that's a real gaming monitor. I'm gonna get really mad if this 144hz monitor doesn't smooth RE2 and RE3 remake, but i'm pretty sure my GT 1030 will support 120hz by connecting a DP cord.

I think the problem is your 1030 video card is weak.

You just THINK? Well, This is what someone on amazon wrote on a review "As far as I know this is the only 1030 GT with a DP connector. ... This card, with a proper Displayport 1.4 connector, definitely does support outputting 120+ Hz.". Like i said before this 144hz monitor is a real gaming monitor. I'm gonna see if my 1030 supports 120hz. I'm not paying $349 GTX 750 ti gaming pc and fyi i wanted a 144hz before. You can think what u want, but this is my own choice this is what i think it will support 120hz.

Beautiful to see that priority is on new monitor and not new GPU:bienfusmiling:

Let me stop you there because there is a lack of hardware knowledge. I doesnt make a difference performance wise if you use your current GPU on a 20 year old monitor or a 240hz IPS panel.
Thats not how things work.

And Resident Evil 2&3 Remake on max settings isnt happening either. Not on 1080p, not on 720p and not on 480p. Not with this GPU. :)

What made you think that changing your monitor will make you play these games on higher settings ?

--------------------

To answer your question, yes the GT1030 DOES support 144hz. However, there are only a few models which have a DP port or a DVI Dual Link.
Most models only support 120hz with HDMI.

No it will not. GT 1030 uses a HDMI and DVI-D. I pretty sure you can get an adapter. But it will only support up to 1080p 60Hz. However, the GT 1030 is not powerful enough anyway to make use of 144Hz monitor. You didn't say what resolution it is, but I am assuming 1080p. Even then, at 1080p, I would be looking at 60FPS, more than I would be 144FPS with a 1030. Even then you will have to lower settings in more demanding games to maintain 60FPS with a GT1030. But as far as supporting 144Hz through display port? No. A GT 1030 only has an HDMI and a DVI-D connection.

So you kinda got the cart before a horse.

Having a nice high refresh screen is great, but it is useless without a GPU that can push it. Its not about if the GPU supports output to the screen at a certain refresh, its more about once that connection is made at that speed can it even be used...

With the 1030, even though it will technically connect to the screen at either 120 or 144hz, the problem will be with how many frames it produces in games. The added refresh rate (or how many single images the screen can draw a second) only does you good when the computer is able to send out frames to draw.

Without a good in game frame rate to match the refresh rate (or be near it) the screen will spend allot of its time idle just re-displaying the same image waiting on the next frame from the GPU.

My guess it you spend a minimum of 200USD on the screen, but then nothing on the GPU bodget. If you have the ability to, try and return the 1030 and the screen, then look for a screen in the 80-120$ mark that is 1080p/60, then look to pickup a used or new GPU in the 200-300 bracket, which should net you anything from a 6500xt on the top end of that budget down to a 1050ti on the lower end.

A 1050ti/1650/RX570/6500xt with a 1080p/60 screen will be a good, stable, and enjoyable gaming experiance.

Trying to push 144hz on a 1030 will not.

What GT 1030 do you have? Because from what I have seen, it only has HDMI and DVI-D. So you will need a display port adapter to connect it. And I thought it didn't support 120Hz but I might be wrong.

But what you got wrong was the monitor. If the games stuttered on low settings with your 75Hz monitor, that had nothing to do with the monitor. That is because your GPU is weak and can't really handle those games that well. You should have done some research, or even came on here before you purchased and asked people.

You will get the same experience you got with your new monitor that you had with your old monitor. Getting a real gaming monitor has got nothing to do with it. You have to get a 'real' gaming GPU before you can make you use of a real gaming monitor. Heck, even your old 75Hz Spectre. Which would have been fine. Just need a better GPU to play games with.

Listen to what people are telling you, It doesn't matter if your GPU supports 1000,0000,000htz, you're not going to see more than 10fps in any of the games you mentioned because your GPU isn't made for gaming.

I said that some GT1030 have a DP port like the Asus GeForce GT1030 2G.
We dont know which model youre currently cause you didnt told us.

Isn't like every iGPU since 2018 better than the 1030 GT ?

I know many people who use a 1030 or similar cards with 144 hz displays but none of them are using it for gaming purposes.

Simply because the 1030 GT isn't a gaming card.

Most GT1030s only have an HDMI port and a DVI-D port. No DP port. So it doesn't matter what the monitor has.

And trust me, your old monitor was good enough. You want smooth gameplay? Get yourself a better graphics card. That GT 1030 is not good enough for those games. Once you have a good GPU, then you can get yourself a 144Hz monitor.

But just getting a different monitor will not improve your gameplay, or give you more FPS. you need to upgrade your GPU first.

Resident Evil 2 Remake, the first game on your list, recommends a GTX 760 as the minimum graphics card. A GTX 760, on average, is 52% better than a GT 1030.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider has a minimum requirement of a GTX 1050.

You see where I am going with this? A GT 1030 is not powerful enough for modern games.

And I know graphics cards are expensive right now. And I know people have been selling GT 1030s and GTX 750s for outrageous prices and saying they are good enough for gaming but they aren't. People are getting ripped off.

There is a shortage on GPUs right now. So you have to wait to get a decent one at a decent price, pay outrageous prices, or wait for the shortage to be over.

But getting a new monitor will not improve your gameplay. Only a better graphics card will do that.

They're saying it's like a road supporting speeds of up to 55 mph but your car can't go that fast. So you go to a road with a 75 mph speed limit thinking it will make your car go faster.

This is a great analogy. Made me laugh. Could you imagine? Taking your car on a road with a high speed limit thinking it will make your car go faster? I am going to take my Ford Pinto on the Autobahn and go 200 mph. Yeaahhh!

And to OP, I am not trying to be insulting or make fun. I feel really bad I really do. I can just imagine how frustrating this must be. But you made a comment about not wanting to spend $350 on a GTX750Ti PC. Well, I hate to break it to you, but PC gaming is hella expensive.

A GTX750Ti is lower then the minimum specs for Resident Evil 2 Remake. So, if you want to play modern games at high specs and get smooth gameplay, you have to spend the money. And I mean thousands of dollars.

I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars just in the last 10 years on my PCs. I built a PC last August, and it isn't even a highend PC really, and spent over $2000. If you think that spending $350 is too much, and can't afford it, but you want to play those demanding games at high specs, I hate to say it, and I am sorry, but I think a console, even a last gen console like PS4 or Xbox One would be better suited for you.

PC gaming at high specs and high frame rates is a thousand plus dollar hobby.
