    I got the Razer Blade 15 with the 1060MQ, and I love it other then the FPS seems low. It has the 144hz screen, and i got an external 144hz screen as well. I can't seem to break 70 FPS on the new monitor plugged through thunderbolt, and with gsync on. It is very infuriating as my MSI with a 970M is getting 120 FPS on a regular basis with same setup...any thoughts?

    Its TB3 port connected directly to cpu if you want to get 144Hz use mini DP to DP, that port is to dGPU and can run g sync as well.

    No it isn't, TB3 is routed to the PCH which then transfers to the CPU. Only in Alienware graphics amp are the PCIe lanes routed directly to the CPU

    Yes it’s through pch to cpu not gpu, that what I meant. You can get as well high refresh rate more than 60Hz through it but DP on Blade 15 offers better since it’s to gpu and support g sync and 144Hz or maybe more, that’s a better solution than using usb c port.
