my son wants a new 144hz monitor and thinks he can also run a 60hz one as long side it is this possible he also think display port will give him faster fps than hdmi can some of the experts enlighten me?
 
I assume he will be using the 60hz as a secondary monitor? If so, it's no problem.

HDMI can run 144hz @ 1080p, but you won't get G-sync or Freesync if you are using an Nvidia card. Not all monitors support high refresh through their HDMI port. You have to check with the specifications of the monitor.
 
you can but i had issues running a main monitor of 144hz with a secondary monitor of 60hz. half of the time freesync didnt work unless the secondary monitor was off.

I have now replaced the secondary monitor with a TV that supports freesync and 120hz and it had the same issue (freesync was on but didnt work on the TV unless the monitor was off). I have forced the monitor to run at 120hz aswell so with both screens at the same refresh freesync now works flawlessly on both.

supposdly the next windows update *should* fix most of these issues with freesync and displays of different refresh rates.

as for displayport giving more fps that will not happen, although I do believe displayport is the preferred choice for high refresh rate monitors these days.
 
I run a 144hz monitor along side a 60hz one with no problems. I'm using displayport on the 144hz monitor in order to make use of the freesync with my GTX 1070

Yes, as others have said, your son is correct. Here I run a 120+ Hz 4k monitor, a 100 Hz 1440UW monitor, and a 60 Hz 4k monitor.
