60 FPS locked on an 80 HZ display?

[addicted 2 jugging]

So I successfully overclocked my 60 hz monitor to 80 hz, and I remember there being an option in ETS2 for 24, 30, and 60. however, now there is just 60. Any ideas on how to get it up to 80? (I already messed with V Sync, but that did nothing)

Gonna need proofs.

Basically what I did was go into nVidia control panel, and created a custom resloution. From there I raised the HZ to 80 bit by bit. I dont have a screenshot of it now, but take my word and I can send you one soon.

Just because you changed it in the graphics drivers, doesn't magically make the hardware change.

Your screen is 60hz, thats its limit.

That's is my belief but I'm not gonna be so definitive. I have a LCD that is able to do 60 and 75Hz. And I found a few articles years appart that explained how to push the screen above 60Hz. So until we got a LCD model and a photo of the LCD's OSD showing the 80Hz ...

The refresh rate is hardware locked. Your screen already had 75hz, you just were not using it. Also you do not get 80hz refresh date displays, they do not exist.

You all are saying its not possible, but I ran tests and yet I can notice a significant difference between the two. Same on games I tested. I would really appriciate some potential ideas I can do ingame to work with

This practice can - and if pushed hard enough (20Hz is hard enough) for long enough, will damage your monitor permanently.

Yes I know, I switch between the two sometimes to prevent that

Well, I can see two ways:

You hack the displays firmware table, add an entry and if you are lucky the hardware will work with it. Or it will burn some IC.

Or you are more lucky and the hardware is capable and just the frequency is disabled softwareside by the manufacturer. You'd have to hack the firmware still, I guess.

When the higher setting is enabled, you can access it in the driver. I do not think you can aimply override a TFTs blocked or push a not defined frequency. The firmware will only accept what it thinks is compatible. It's the nature of PnP. Aside from panel technology not made to freely choose frequencies.

On older CRT displays you could feed 85 Hz to a 60Hz tube, but they died doing so. I killed one. :) If an engine is locked at 2200 rpm, more throttle will not help. It just ignores it.

Correct me, if I'm wrong.

Well that sounds like it could cause more trouble if I mess up :D Thank you though, but all of that doesnt seem worth 20 fps lol

Even if you did mange to do it you have to ask yourself..do I want to euthanize my monitor? Some ASUS monitors (as per the one I own) have an overclocking function built in and direct from the crew themselves they do not recommend running them in OC for long periods.
Maybe you should settle for a smooth 60 (rain, sun, traffic, cities) and tweak some awesome graphics :) not everyone was born with a 90Hz monitor.... 😋

umm you might be little confused here. or maybe it was a typo.
The refresh rate is how many times per second the entire screen area is updated. If your monitor's default refresh is 60Hz then it is 60Hz all the time regardless of whether you're playing ETS2, DooM, Tic-Tac-Toe or writing a letter in Word.
Frames Per Second is dictated by the application's software and/or graphics card hardware/drivers.
Have you tried the 1.35beta that is available for ETS2? It ships with DX11.
My fps in cities doubled with DX11 enabled. Still 60Hz refresh.

Ok yeah I misunderstood you. Thank you very much. I am thinking about getting the beta

Some recording programs (eg. Fraps) let you set a framerate limit while recording. I imagine there might be another external program allows you to set a framerate limit without the recording part, and setting it to 80 might liberate your monitor somehow if you're sure it's capable of 80.

80 is one of the available settings for the Dell 1025HE.

Not impossible but highely unlikely. If your display is a LCD with a DVI or HDMI plug, then your 80Hz goes against every standard, norms, definitions and white paper for the past 20 years.

NB: a screenshot of the nVidia control panel is not a valid proof at all.

It's ... just wrong. Fraps include a framerate limiter for a smooth playback at a later date, because it's easier to do less if you can do more, but not the opposite. I mean, if your car can do 80mph, then it can do 40mph without a doubt but 160mph is not guaranteed.

That Dell 1025HE is a CRT Monitor and those could have a refresh rate of 200Hz and 80Hz for a CRT is the norm, not an exception, whereas here, it's about pushing a 60Hz monitor above that, ergo not likely a CRT but a LCD, whom are limited to 60Hz by their electronics and their firmwares.
