60-70 isn't that noticeable. 70-80 is somewhat noticeable. 80-96 starts to show promise. 96-144 is kinda wasted.
The thing is that bouncing frames around between 60-70, or 60-80 is less smooth than just having it stuck at 60 (with a refresh sync).

So, I would first suggest you confirm you can hold that 72fps for at least 85% of the time you're playing.


Or just buy yourself a cheap Catleap PCB monitor and probe it until you get 96hz.

the s24D300 is a pls panel and there is a noticeable difference going from 60 to 75
its not just about gaming

His first and second post mention games, one as a link the other as a test feedback.
Not seen him comment about desktop advantages, but yes 75hz would be potentially noticeable to him.

He put the word 'games' in his opening post, kinda leads me to think he's got that in mind.

i actually made a post on the 26th :P Im just waiting till 10 is RTM before i attempt it again as it stopped worked in build 10049
 
So are you considering games or ? Tell me more about this stoppage in Windows 10 builds. You are speaking about CRM program?
 
Dual AOC i2267Fw (IPS)

Got them to 66hz (Default 60) Even with patch they wouldn't go higher not even 67 (Im on single link DVI)

I used

http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping

and verified at 66FPS 66Hz

Not bad.

Using Windows 10 10130 ATI patch found and patched mhz limits and CRU had no issues with resets or programming.

you need dual link for anything over 1080p@60
 
tried it again and it works, but since i updated to build 10130 most if not all of my games go to a black screen with sound but no picture. If i alt+tab to desktop i can hold windows key down and see preview screen with game on it (WoW has a picture there) but when i click on it, it goes back to a black screen

Edit: seems to have been fixed with a vcredist reinstall.

WoW worked once and no its back to black screen with sound and visible in preview pane on desktop. Witcher 3 runs proper, so it might be a blizzard problem

Honesty I just made an assumption. Based on the fact my monitor freaks out at anything over like 165mhz pixel clock. I haven't actually gotten off my ass to check my cables. Good information though. I might just pickup some dual link and see if i can squeeze more out of her.

I suspect its not the monitor freaking out its the single link connection running out of bandwidth
that being said you can usually manage ~75hz over single link dvi if you use YcbCr 4:2:2 you do lose some color quality tho in theory
its why we have pixel clock patches

I run the pixel clock patch and it went through successfully but the monitor kicks out if I even attempt .83mhz over. I dont recieve any color wash the monitor simply goes black and says input not supported. Do you think that is an indication of a cable problem? Or is that more the panel itself?

firmware probably has a hard-coded limit
might-be-able to work around it by disabling EDID on the driver side
else the only option is to write a new EDID to the monitors EPROM using IC2
Which still May not give you anything

Cool, I'll look into it thanks.
 
wow and windows 10 dont mix for some ppl, same problem as I had. the only solution for now is windowed+fullscreen. I can verify that the o/c is working again as monitor info shows 72hz and WoW reports 72hz as a supported rate along with 60hz
