I am pretty sure your laptop maker likely mega cheaped out on the HDMI port

#

And most older laptops likely route everything through the iGPU

#

So you're basically stuck with it

#

Does it have a USB Type-C port that is listed as DP capable?

#

If not, you're basically SOL. Return the monitor, or replace the ancient relic of a laptop

rapid wedge how can i see that ?

Check your laptop's specification sheet or page, or check your laptop's ports for a type-C port. Not all such ports are capable of DP; sometimes these ports are unmarked too

#

If you are unsure, assume no

#

(Can you show a screenshot of NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage physx?)

#

(It shows how the connectors are routed.)

You're SOL

#

Nothing is routed from the dGPU

#

So just live with 60Hz until you can get a better laptop or PC with an actual port
