A couple quick and simple questions [overclocking to 75Hz]
Posted: 02 Apr 2014, 19:31
Hi everyone. I'm new to monitor overclocking altogether, and I just have a couple quick questions.
1) I raised my refresh rate from 60hz @1680/1050 to 75hz @1680/1050 using the standard Nvidia Control Panel. I used "CVT - reduced blank" in order to make it work. Are there any potential reasons NOT to use CVT - reduced blank, or did I do everything properly?
2) I read in some guides that you have to install a new monitor drivers to enable the higher hz in games. I currently just have the standard Viewsonic VG2230wm driver that Windows 7 found and installed when I setup my computer. Do I really need to uninstall that and install a new one, or will games run fine at 75hz as long as Vsync is off?
Thank you! I'm very new to this so any help would be hugely appreciated.
