Fast question about monitor. 165hz its advertised or its oc?

[das3erawsdas]

Hi. My monitor is:

https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/AORUS-FI27Q

Its 165hz they said. But 165hz is OC and its not guaranteed or its is?:)

I mean i can choose in nvidia panel 144hz and 165hz. So its not oc ?

It's an OC if you have to go into the Monitor onboard settings menu and enable it.

[das3erawsdas]

I understand, but without touching anything in onboard settings i was able to choose 144hz and 165hz in nvidia panel. So its not oc then? Or?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Ok then choose 165hz and see how it does.

[das3erawsdas]

But its native then 165?

YES

Any monitor can show more than 1 refresh rate as they support more than 1 refresh rate. My 144hz monitors show 144hz,120hz and 60hz. Depending on the resolution I'm using they can show others. 80hz, 59hz and even 30hz.

Overclocking hz on a monitor would not be as simple as selecting the predefined refresh rate.

You can OC and the monitor will support up to 165hz without problems such as flickering. I think the monitor will simply try to go as fast as possible, risking lags if you go higher than 165. It won't lock by itself

100% guaranteed

only get a display over 72hz if it supports gsync/freesync
adaptive sync toggles vsync on/off, on when at or above refresh rate, off when below

It uses adaptive sync like BenQ does, don't buy it.
Go look at something like Acer Predator, ASUS ROG Swift or others that actually have either GSync or FreeSync.

It uses Freesync, just like BenQ monitors do...

VESA Adaptive Sync is Freesync - Freesync is it's marketing name.
There are only 2 kinds of Sync like this, G-sync, and Freesync. One is hardware based (G-sync), and one is software based (Freesync.)

No, it doesn't.
Adaptive VSYNC does.
Adaptive sync is Freesync.

If the monitor is marketed as 165hz (even with 'overclock') then it can do 165hz.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

All it states in its Specs Page is FlickerFree; nothing about any type of FreeSync or other support.

why can you force enable adaptive sync on displays that do not support freesync/gsync

Issue is only on 1920x1080P with 165hz. On 1440P with 165mhz is fine. On 1920x1080P with 144hz is fine. On 1920x1080P with 165mhz i can see on screen small black dots flickering vertical.

If i wanna catch screen its not visible on screen. Just very small flickering black dots on vertical position. Screens not working. Happens only in 1080P with 165HZ.

Visible on desktop too when i am very close.






Just found on reddit somebody had the same issue with monitor:

www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/hib8h7/please_help_i_have_an_issue_with_new_monitor/


So 165hz on 1080P is not stable?

How many times are you going to make this exact same thread?
