Replace screen for higher refresh rate?

tickakicka · Jul 20, 2015

Probably going to sound like a nub question but can I replace my 48hz screen on my laptop for one that's 60hz? I bought a MSI laptop and didn't know it was 48hz until I tried playing a couple games. Really happy about that one. I'm assuming I can but couldn't find an actual definitive answer so here I am. Also forgot to mention 48hz is the maximum the screen can go.

1) Sorry, no.
2) I suspect that it's the graphics engine that is limiting you to 48 hz, not the screen.
3) Is this always, or only in a particular game?

Late reply but it's a couple of games any that just don't work at all with 48hz. Dark Souls is one I don't remember any more off the top of my head. So I would have to replace the graphics card? I don't remember the specs since i dont have the laptop here with me at the moment

It's ok. Most laptops don't have graphics "cards" soldered-in graphics chips or even use integrated graphics. Some can be upgraded, most can't. Depends the model of machine.
