Aurora, GeForce GTX 1080, two 240Hz Alienware monitors
Hello all,
I've searched for a good while online and could not get an answer so I was hoping someone would help me out.
Long story short, I just bought an Alienware Aurora, as well as 2 Alienware monitors with 240 refresh rate. I was able to make my primary screen (Displayport) to 240, however, the 2nd screen I have has an adapter (HDMI to USB) as my desktop doesn't have an HDMI, DVI, or anything else on it and can only be set to either 59 or 60 refresh rate. Is there any way to make this at least 144?
Both monitors are exactly the same. My graphics card is GeForce 1080.
These specs are for my tower:
Rear Ports
1. (1x) SPDIF Digital Output (Coax) | 2. (1x) SPDIF Digital Output (TOSLINK) | 3. (1x) RJ-45 Killer Gigabit Ethernet | 4. (6x) Hi-Speed USB2.0 | 5. (1x) Display Port | 6. (1x) SuperSpeed 10Gbps USB 3.1 Type-C | 6. (1x) SuperSpeed 10Gbps USB 3.1 Type-A |7. (1x) Rear L/R surround | 8. (3x) SuperSpeed USB 3.0
And these are for my monitors:
Ports and Slots:
1. DP1.2 | 2. Audio out | 3. Headphone jack | 4. (4x) USB3.0 + (1x) upstream | 5. HDMI1.4.
Cables Included:
1. DP cable.
2. USB 3.0 upstream cable.
3. Power cable.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

USB to HDMI does not support 240hz 4K TV refresh. Most USB to HDMI support 1080P max.
Minimum hardware needed for 4k 144hz on 1 monitor is at least Titan X Pascal SLI, period end to be CAPABLE of 4k at 144Hz.

60Hz LCD vs 120Hz/240Hz.
4K TV's True Motion 240Hz claimed is actually 120Hz
240Hz rate specification is smoke and mirrors in two ways.
Some manufacturers used LED backlight manipulation as a mechanism which produce an "effective" 240Hz "appearance."
This should be ridiculed because that is not true 240Hz refresh rate.
Those manufacturers with a true 240Hz refresh rate increase the pixel activation speed in the LCD panels
thus redrawing the screen 240 times per second.
It is supposed to cut motion blur in half, but real testing shows only a marginal decrease in motion blur from 120Hz.
Many 120Hz, 240Hz, 480Hz technologies incorporate unwelcome background information into film based material
and are only good for viewing fast motion sports programming.
Fortunately, in all TVs and Monitors tested, the 240Hz rate feature may be turned off.

Not sure I follow you.
The Nvidia GTX-1080 should have at least TWO DisplayPorts (one might be Mini-DisplayPort). Just connect both monitors via native DisplayPort and you are done.
No, HDMI is for HomeTheater. I doubt it syncs much higher than 120.
