overclocking a monitor :O

droopyRO · Sep 3, 2014

If you are playing MP and your rig can handle it 120/144Hz dose seem like an option but when playing singleplayer an IPS/PLS has no equal. Ideally you would have both on your desk, 144Hz for online play and a IPS for singleplayer, movies and work.

so i have followed the instructions and also did the CRU bit and my monitor is reporting a refresh rate of 72hz

games with vsync enabled also show 72fps.

Congrats! Have you noticed any improvements in overall performance and feel?

i've only played d3 so far but it seems to run smoother w/o hiccups

HossHuge · Jan 16, 2015

So I tried this using the Nvidia Control panel method. 2 of my monitors would go to 69hz but 1 would only go to 64hz. I changed my dvi cable to a hdmi with a dvi adapter and it fixed the problem.

I also did it on a shitty 32" 720p tv that I have and got it to 72hz. It made the picture much better.

So whats the recommended way to do this in windows 8.1, with AMD?

I'm happy to try it but last time i looked into it, it involved unsigned drivers and lots of bullshit

Kind of related... My dell shows a refresh of 75hz... Anyway to know if its running at that?

My S2340Ms will accept up to 72Hz (some up to 75Hz) but it appears that the display drops the extra frames. I would leave it at 60Hz or you might find yourself with some level of stuttering.

Powerstrip can measure the hz ur monitor is running mine showed if i remember correct 119,53 hz while running 120hz at 2560x1440.

Mussels · Jan 16, 2015

heh, even 61Hz wont run on my sony. its super fussy about refresh rates it seems.

OneMoar · May 26, 2015

lets start a thing everybody list your monitor and working cru timings/refresh
got a new monitor today a Samsung S24D300
was able to get 72Hz @ 1080 and 75hz @ 900p
which takes it from 2Ms monitor down to near 1ms g2g
over the default of 59 pretty dam good for a 140.00 shipped monitor
you can use this site to verify you aren't getting frame-drops

Toothless · May 26, 2015

My monitor is stock 1600x900 60hz and I'm running it at 1080p 70hz. Awesome for some random HP monitor.

MxPhenom 216 · May 26, 2015

I have Qnix PLS 1440p at 96hz, I can overclock it to 110hz, but its not necessary to me. After 110hz, some more tweaking needs to happen to get it to work. I will have to check OneMoar's link to check frame skipping. Havent noticed much in games.

handy site has a bunch of tests you can use to run your panel though the gauntlet
example I can accually push it all the way up to 75hz but it fails the color shift/checkerboard test that that refresh-rate
72 passes with flying colors

96 seems to be the norm for my panel so ill have to test it when I get back to school/my apartment.

anyone managed to get AMD + HDMI to overclock at all? cant seem to make even 61 work on my HDTV

I am using HDMI some LCD scalars simply don't tolerate anything outside spec
you can try disabling DCC

2560x1440 now available as a default res in all games and windows, works just damned peachy.

That doesn't actually change the panel resolution its basically down-sampling
and I know VSR + CRU don't play nice

different approach, but same effect for me. i wish i could OC to higher refresh rates as well, but at least i get the higher res this way - works great for games like SC2 with no AA options.

AlienIsGOD · May 26, 2015

Haven't been using the o/c as windows 10 didn't like it when it 1st came out. Will try again after 10 goes RTM

broken pixel · May 26, 2015

My overlord panel OC fine with windows 10. Used Toastyx patch and CRU with AMD windows 10 drivers.

droopyRO · May 27, 2015

Dell U2713HM @80Hz 1440p but i dont notice a big difference, either the monitor is fast at 60hz or i`m slow

The fastest games i play ATM are Battlefiled 4 and Project CARS .

OneMoar · May 29, 2015

after fiddling with the fine timings and pixel clock patcher I am rocking 75hz
WOOHOO
thats pretty freaking beastly for a 140.00 monitor

Paid $120 for mine.

My Benq projector doesn't even give me 61Hz.
