What (general) combination is recommended in terms of resolution/FPS?

[UserKV]

Hello Troubleshooters,

On my laptop display (resolution 1920x1080) works gaming fine, but since i use an ext. display (resolution 2560x1440, 144Hz) i experience a lot of trouble (latency through low FPS at 60Hz). Graphics card NVDIA GeForce MX150 should support higher refresh rate then 60Hz while using HDMI 1.4b output. I realize that lower resolution means lower image quality but higher performance in FPS.

I have a few questions:

-What resolution is recommended/FPS combination is recommended?

-Is it possible to use a lower resolution than 2560x1440 on an 2560x1440 display?

-Can i boost my Refresh rate from 60Hz to 144Hz? 

-How do i connect my ext. display to NVIDIA GeForce MX150 instead of the build-in Intel UHD Graphics 620?

When i connect my laptop to my ext. monitor (not by duplicating but by selecting the option 'only show display on 2'), i can't switch to a higher refresh rate in the system settings than 60,03Hz. Is this because i need to lower my resolution setting?

-Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce MX150 (https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-MX150-Benchmark-and-Specs-of-the-GT-1030-for-Laptops.22... )

I hope its clear what my problem is and how i need to adress it. Advice is appriciated.

thanks for checking! So if i keep my display resolution at 1920x1080 @60 Hz on the ext. monitor, with the right HDMI cable the refresh rate can be improved by selecting a higher refresh rate?
