    Hi guys !
    I recently bought a new MSI GE62 6QF Apache Pro. I have two serious problems. The first one is that it has pretty bad fps in Diablo 3(60-80 on high settings), when i was having 100+ fps on my 4 year PC. Also in Overwatch I have something around 80-90 fps on Ultra settings, which is ok. The thing is I want to get 140+,fps, because of my 144hz monitor, so I am using the lowest settings possible and I am still getting around 90-100 fps in quick play. It is really weird, because I had about 140 on the same settings on my old PC with 7870 HD graphics.
    The second problem is that i don't really know how to connect my 144hz monitor. HDMI is only capable of 60hz and when i try DVI to Mini Display Port, which should give me 120hz with FULL HD resolution, it is stuck at FULL HD 60hz.

    If you have any ideas how to solve any of these two problems, please let me know. Thanks!

    Make sure the BIOS, EC firmware, and drivers are up-to-date.

    You will need to use an active adapter such as this one below, note people asked about 120Hz support in the QA section.

    The Drivers are up to date, at leat intel and nvidia ones. I was also updating BIOS an EC firmware so i don't know where the problem with the fps is. My friend has got the laptop with same peripherals, but from the different firm and with an SSD disc and has much better performance in games. For example in Overwatch with the same settings he gets 170-190 fps when I have 90-100.
