overclocking wasabi mango qhd277

[srsparky32]

hey guys thought i'd see what my wasabi mango can do. since apparently ex yamakasi employees started the company i thought it might be good at OC refresh rate. so i decided to bump it from 60 to 70 hz through nvidia custom resolution and it works.

i want to push it to 90 hz but ive never done monitor OC before, i know some basics, but i dont know what happens when you push it too far, and i dont know how to fix it if you push it to far

so can someone with more experience chime in please.


thanks ^^


edit: what happens when you push it too far is that the screen starts to shake and not display properly, fixing it is just a matter of letting the time limit run out to save it or by saying no dont apply.


final refresh rate overclock: 75hz ...wish it could do 90 but ill take anything over 60 right now

I have done a little overclocking in that department. The way I understand it once you get close to the limit you will get dropped frames and mainly artifacts. If you are over the limit it will result in a no signal scenario and then once the timer runs out in the Nvidia driver it will revert and all is well. Damaging the display should not be an issue I believe as if it gets too hot it will throw artifacts and you want to back off on the Hz. I always found the limit going in 3-5Hz increments and then backed it off like 8-10Hz.

Hope it helps

Those monitors are IPS screens, so they will not do more than 75hz. At least not the IPS panels they use (Its the same for all Korean IPS). If you wanted 90 hz, you need the Samsung PLS panel equipted Korean screen.

I read the title so wrongly.

i have crossover monitors. crossover 3020mdp doesnt go above 90hz. crossover blacktune 30x-p driver can do 120hz. i think panels they used are same as wasabi and yamakasi.

seems like 75hz was too much for the panel even lol. after about 10 mins started seeing some horizontal lines here and there. 70hz fine though. oh well, ill keep it there even though probably not going to be much of any difference if at all. strange that the crossover monitors are able to reach such higher hz while sharing the same panel as the wasabi's?

the thing that chaffs my ass is that pcgamer got 120hz on some crappy lenovo AIO display.

did you do the pixel patcher before using CRU?

for some reason my 750ti cant do 120hz on my monitor but my 290x can. but maybe its too much for 750ti. i dont know.

i never use 120hz anyway cause honestly i dont see that much difference. i dont maybe thats just only me.

Do those monitors have more than just DVI- D for inputs?

i just checked both monitors they have DVI-I both of them

Test it with this http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping i got 90Hz on mine but was skipping frames so i went back to 75 and finally decided to stay with 60 until someone makes a 1080p 144Hz IPS or VA monitor.
It was working fine at 90Hz but while gaming it felt like 60Hz and i made the above test.

youre the real mvp. ill try the patch. i had no idea such a patch existed. well i can tell a diff when i use my friends 120hz tv. things seem faster, but more fluid and smooth. kinda like youre there in real time seeing it with your own eyes.


edit: installed the patch. still not great as 80 hz still has problems but seems like 75hz working now. not anymore. still stuck at 70hz. i guess thats the monitors limit??

edit2: do you think i'd get better results with CRU or is nvidia custom resolution the same thing basically

70hz test passed. thanks for making that. also ran 75hz through passed as well. intersting thing to mention though, passed your frame drop test but failed general use test(horizontal lines flicerking) also why buy 144hz 1080p. save and buy 144hz 1440p.

Try other frequencies as well. If shooting for 90Hz and it's skipping frames try 88Hz or 92Hz sometimes you can find stability in that range by eliminating nonworking refreshes by finding some the scalar engine is comfortable with. On that note, if you use V sync heavily it could actually induce frame tearing on screen due to adaptive V sync turning off when under maximum refresh. Example: BF4 on my right runs between 55-65fps most of the time. When I OC the monitor to 75Hz stable it just tears because it is not synced. Oc on the screen only helps if you can push the maximum refresh most of the time. If not V synced then by all mean crank it up. Some games will tear much less such as source based engines etc. Find your sweetspot.

nice awesome info!!!! everytime i set it to 80 hz the screen just shakes up and down kind of like a bad tv would do. so im guessing that going higher would just result in worse screen shake right?

I can get 110hz to work at the desktop on my Qnix, but in games it freaks out a bit. I just put it to 96hz because its perfect in everything, and my single 780 cant push most of the newer games I play now at 1440p higher then 96fps.

 

[droopyRO]

also why buy 144hz 1080p. save and buy 144hz 1440p.

Because pushing 1080p with 144 fps minimum is very hard on hardware you have to use low-medium settings most of the time. For singleplayer Freesync/GSync would be great though.

No you don't. I was doing close to 144 fps all the time in bf4 maxed out at 1080p with my single 780 before going 1440p.

Incorrect. You must have missed out on the biggie that started the trend... Yamakasi Catleap Q270 (with 2b PCB), which is a pure IPS panel. Then theres the crossover 2795QHD, an AH-IPS. These are capable of over 100hz OC without frame skipping. It not only depends on the panel, but also on the PCB that runs it. The Korean monitors that OC usually have a bare bones single input design (DVI-DL) with no OCD, no scalar, only brightness adjustment... which offers a virtually direct connection from GPU to panel that helps in the OC.

To OP... there are very few overclockable korean monitors. These are the Qnix QX2710 (single input model only), the Yamakasi catleap (only with the 2b PCB), and the Crossover 2795QHD at present. There may be others that "report" a higher HZ when you try to OC, but they frame skip.

Thats why I asked about the DVI-D input as the only one to another user who posted. My friend has one of those Crossovers or did, and could only hit 75hz. I know a bunch of other people with the IPS screens that get stuck at 75hz.

Also X-star PLS screens have been known to OC better than the Qnix, and don't frame skip. At least that's what the buzz has been over at OCN.

You can not just say "one of those crossovers" hits 75hz. There are many crossovers but only one OC'able one and it is the 2795QHD (which almost always hits well above 75hz). There are many people who try to OC their korean monitors who have no clue whether it really is OC'able or not and they may get up to 75hz (with frame skipping) and think that constitutes an overclock, but its not.

The X-star = the Qnix. It is the same company that uses the same panels and PCBs in both X-stars and Qnix. Only difference is the nameplate and a slight variation in the stand (which I believe has limited swivel on the x-star). I own the original Qnix QX2710 with the PLS LTM270DL02 panel and it does 120hz. Qnix (and X-star) have undergone some changes over the last year and have been using slightly inferior panels to the originals (LTM270DL07). They still OC but have a higher incidence of PWM, not as vibrant colors, lower quality construction and are basically a lottery buy now (you never know the exact panel you will end up with).

I should also point out that Qnix makes quite different models using the same QX2710 model no. but with totally different panels: the QX2710 DPMulti True10 is a crap monitor that uses a VA panel, "pseudo OCs" to 85hz (frame-skipping). Unfortunately many, many people, incl reviewers, mistake that with the original QX2710 and think its the same. It is vastly different and inferior. When people google QX2710 reviews, the inferior one is what comes up (TFT central and Anand stupidly reviewed the wrong model). Qnix at fault for ridiculously attaching same model no. to different monitors.

I am an active member at OCN and am quite familiar with these monitors. I also own a catleap Q270 (2b PCB) and that does 110hz.
