21:9 Lenovo ultrawidescreen does 90Hz via overclock

Jim Norris tweeted he successfully overclocked the Lenovo B750 ultrawidescreen all-in-one all the way to 90Hz refresh rate.

It is an all-in-one, so the computer and display is integrated. No opportunity for GPU upgrade, alas! It has a Geforce GTX760M, so it would be hard to drive it at 90fps@90Hz except in older games such as Source Engine games -- however, 90Hz makes a noticeable improvement to motion on an IPS LCD, as reported by QNIX users overclocking to 96Hz.

that's pretty cool...
not clear whether it natively supports 90hz or whether he overclocked it to 90hz. in the latter case it would not necessarily be consistent between monitors, unless a 90hz limit is imposed by design.

Oh no, it definitelly was overclocked and in no way it shipped with a 90hz option.
Companies still dont know what refresh rate is so they will keep peddling the same 60hz trash for decades to come. And when this generation takes over, well prob drop to 24hz... for CINEMATIC effect with pretty graphics.


Either way i fucking love this. 90hz 21:9 ips! need to find out what panel that is...

It saddens me tho, that for proper 140hz+ or even 200hz+ 21:9`s we will have to wait for oled.
