Q: Use a 144 Hz monitor with a Macbook Pro?

I bought the BenQ XL2411Z for my PC build, but I was wondering how use it at 144Hz with my Macbook Pro (mid-2012, non retina). In fact, I would like to try to achieve more than 60Hz (I wouldn't bother if I were at 100+Hz).

 

I use a Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI converter but can't get over 60Hz, even on Windows 10 via BootCamp.

 

For now I suspect my video card to be the problem: it is an Intel HD 4000.

 

If it isn't the problem, any idea what else it could be?

 

Computer specs:

MacBook Pro 13", Mid-2012

OS X El Capitan

8GB Ram

Intel i5 @ 2.5 GHz

Intel HD 4000

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Mid-2012, 8GB Ram, i5 2.5Ghz
