Product: HP Omen 15
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone 

I have a question and need help

Today I bought HP Omen laptop from my local shop

And when I arrived home I checked the specs on the left or right hand of the box.

I mainly bought the laptop because of the graphics card. It's an RTX Nvidia card but when I checked the Hertz it's says only 60 which is not much.

I want to take full potential of the graphic card, so is it possible  to bump up the hertz for this particular laptop in the settings?

I haven't checked because i didnt open  the box yet.

 

 

Thank you for the help

Oops, I sent this before I saw Photoray002's response.    Please go by his response.  (although I wonder why it says RTX on the box?).

Hi, I'm not an expert and just kind of active on the forum because I recently purchased an Omen 15.  

 

On HP's website I searched your model, and although in French, this is the best link to a spec I could find / the most detailed.  You have a RTX 2060.   I believe you do have a 60Hz display because of (a) the spec doesn't brag about 144Hz, it just says IPS display, and (b) it says 220 nits brightness, which I believe is true for the 60Hz panel (the 144Hz has a higher brightness, something closer to 270 nits).  I assume you could get the higher rate if you connected to an external monitor ?   (probably defeats your purpose, but it's something).

 

In this link, it brings up 3 columns.  In the column to the right you can download a PDF which has the spec in French.

No you're right @huey_placard. Im headed too many directions today. It is 60Hz and cannot be changed. You have an RTX 2060 that is capable of higher refresh rates and will hold up well while gaming. 

 

You could connect a 144hz external monitor to it. But in order to get a built-in higher refresh panel, you would have to purchase a laptop that has the higher panel already installed, yes.
