Does my Vostro 5481 supports 144Hz monitor?

@doraonay  What resolution is this display and what kind of cable are you using to connect the system to it? That can be a limiting factor since not all options allow the same amount of display bandwidth. I’m also not sure Intel GPUs support 144 Hz. I’ve seen at least some systems with Intel GPUs run 120 Hz, but never positive confirmation of 144. However, if you’re planning to use this for gaming, be aware that you wouldn’t be able to use things like G-Sync or Adaptive V-Sync, which means you’d only be able to choose V-Sync fully on or off. That can be a problem running very high refresh rates, because with V-Sync off, you’ll likely see frame tearing since that’s what V-Sync was created to fix. But if you turn it on, then you’ll need to make sure your GPU can always sustain a frame rate at least equal to your display’s refresh rate, otherwise you’ll see judder — and with 120 or 144 Hz, expecting a basic, non-gaming laptop to sustain that kind of frame rate is unrealistic unless you’ll only be playing old games, and even then you’d probably need to specify very low graphical detail settings. This dilemma is precisely why G-Sync was created, but you can’t use it on this system.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I'm using the monitor for my gaming pc and with the cable, I can get 144hz at 2560x1440 resolution. Even while browsing I love having high refresh rates. If I lower the resolution a little, maybe I can get a higher refresh rate. I hope intel supports it and it works

Dear Dell Support,

I recently bought a new, 27" display that supports 144Hz on FullHD and on 2.6k resolution. I am considering buying a new laptop that supports 144Hz on bot 1080p and 2.6k resolution, unfortunately my old laptop doesn't work on this refresh rate. I need this refresh rate to lower my eye strain as I need to work for long hours in front of computer. I would like to find a new laptop, which is also the cheapest (in terms of chipset) but still good built quality.

On another forums I saw that Intel HD 520 / 620 should already give me these resolutions with the desired refresh rates. I borrowed from friends two laptops, one with HD520 and another one with HD 620, but they both supported up till 60Hz on FullHD. I also read a forum thread (https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-Graphics-520-how-to-get-higher-refresh-rate/td-p/556659) in which the customer was advised that HD520 should support these resolutions with 144Hz, but in reality it doesn't work as the manufacturer didn't include/integrate (solder?) this feature. I am wondering if these chipsets would be supporting these resolutions from Dell, or if not, then which model line of yours could be working for me.

Thanks for your kind help in advance.
