Monitor Overclock?!

[PFPK]

When i overclock my monitor from 75hz to 100hz via Nvidia settings... does it make my Graphiccard work more? Like it has less performance ingame then? Or does it have no effect at all o.o (Im currently playing with the 100hz)

The video card will render frames as fast as it can and send them to the monitor. Overclocking your monitor has no effect on this.

Ah okay. ty! :D

I doubt monitor overclocking exists at all...

It will only make your graphics card work more if you had v-sync enabled in a game both before and after you overclocked your monitor(increasing the capped frames per second with v-sync from 75 to 100 fps). Aside from that, it has no effect on gaming performance.

Okay i was just wondering, if it may couldnt perform 100% anymore in games, ty for telling me ! :D

They do... People do them all the time. Go to NVIDIA Control Panel and do Custom Resolution.

You can force a higher refresh rate with it. Very easily.

Really? Why do you think so? You can increase frame frequency, but it has nothing with physical screen refresh.

Why do you think it doesn't? Overclocking monitors has been possible for a long time. Unsupported obviously, but doable.

Lol.

FYI all the higher refresh rate monitor are more or less working on the same principles. That's why you have 165 Hz monitor now, previously people OC their 144Hz monitor to 165Hz before manufacturers deem it safe enough to raise the refresh rate. There exist a whole Korean blackmarket using same panels as big brand for cheaper and more Overclockability (they do not restrict the clock rate like most of your brandname consumer grade).

Welcome to the world of Overclocking young Padawan. Heck people even OC USB port.

I was looking at one of those 27" off-brand ones for a long time... but only had a 560ti so wasn't worth it.

I uses crossover 27VV myself, even my i7 and GTX 1080 I found 90Hz the sweet spot for maxing 1440p. The IPS panel they use though is top notch, better than even my old Samsung IPS.

There's a hybrid monitor out now that supports 144hz @ 1080p and 60hz @ 2160p, and overclocking your monitor is fairly simple, evga pixel clock utility can oc desktop refresh but in game it may restrict you.

I can oc my 4k monitor @ 1080p to 75hz but any more than that and it goes from 8bit to 6bit color. If your monitor supports the custom resolution in game then you're golden, there is a noticeable difference between 60hz and higher refresh rates.
