@qubit,
Just because most manufacturers embellish what refresh their displays can handle doesn't make it an across the board blanket truth. Like I said, it depends on what you buy and specifically how the PCB is made. If you let the lowest common denominator sway your thinking, you'll never know what possibilities exist out of sheer ignorance caused by the quantity over quality effect of mass production.
Is this kind of thing available on a mass scale, no, of course not. Is it available, has been, and will soon continue to be, and ongoing as long as the appropriate PCBs can be sourced. Is it an elitist thing, as far as GPU power required, IF you want to use the native 2560x1440 res at anything 100Hz or up, pretty much so.
However if you just want to start out at 1920x1080 at say 100Hz, it could all be done fairly inexpensively, esp when you consider the Overlords go for half the price of Dell's same size, same res display that is not OCable.
And for the record, those Catleaps capable of running between 60Hz-120Hz are not "modded". They are simply a different version with a different PCB, but are no longer available in those versions. There's a big difference between a product having different factory spec and an actual "mod". The Overlord OC version will simply be speced with a different PCB too.
@eidair,
A temporary one size res hurdle at 1440x900 is nowhere near what we are talking about here. It likely has more to do with a less commonly used res than performance strains as per high refresh at 2560x1600. I'm guessing the refresh limitation Nvidia has employed has more to do with their always on Turbo Boost and locked voltage, which may fade as quickly as Ubi's Always On DRM considering how many have complained about it.
Then again, the main ones complaining about it are in a bit of an elitist group, which makes them appear to have a rather small voice. It can't be argued however that avid gamers and flagship GPUs are what drives the kind of gaming hype that sells GPUs on a fairly large scale. So if it becomes a problem to workaround these driver limitations and high res gamers start switching to AMD over it, Nvidia just might wake up and consider a more flexible GPU and driver design.
