Image Look at this, OD120!!!

I don't remember how I managed to make it work, I think I did something like setting OD80 and then I enabled OD Strong Weak ON, anyway it looks like something inbetween OD60 and OD80, which is surprisingly good, it is definitely the right Overdrive for 240hz!

EDIT: Ok I replicated by setting OD60, OD Strong Weak was ON by default, I set it back to Off and then back to ON and it worked! OD120 FTW!

EDIT 2: It doesn't matter what OD you use, OD Strong Weak OFF sets the OD to 0, OD Strong Weak ON sets the OD to 120.

Edit 3: OD120 looks good for 280hz (altough I'd argue that it is much better for 240hz)
You cannot change ELMB overdrive with OD120, it is still stuck at OD80.
Idk if it's placebo but it definitely feels much more responsive with OD120.
