Overclocking Laptop Display - 75hz to...?
Posted: 15 May 2020, 10:12
After playing a game called World War Z and seeing the grey coloured supressor on a Sniper ghost like a sideways unstablly built multi-layer salami sandwich.. I decided to do some google doodling, and came across our precious little Alien you see to the left on your screen. <3
Blur Busters! You are awesome, I love your tool, it's simply fantastic for gauging my ghosting, and I've been using it quite a bit in the last few hours with my testing.
So I've been reading a few of the posts here, and found you can overclock your monitor on Laptops, which sounds fantastic, and I've given it some goes, however I have some questions to ask.
1: I looked up the model of my screen, apparently it's 60Hz, but when I install Windows fresh with no drivers, I believe it's 75Hz by default.. is it already overclocked, or is it natively 75Hz?
2: I found I can overclock my screen all the way to 103Hz, any higher and instead of instantly transitioning during the test phase via NVidia Control Panel, the screen goes black as if it's loading the new refresh rate. 105Hz takes like 10 seconds, 120Hz takes like 30 seconds. Both are accepted, but the higher I go, the longer it loads.. it seems Explorer seems to need to restart itself, too. What does all this mean?
3: Even though I can go to 103Hz without issue, I'm currently at 90Hz, and will test it with some games. Image below. Could 100Hz be safe?
4: What would I see, what errors or problems would I come across that would be a sign to 'Back off' and reduce my Hz?
More Questions maybe later as these get answered. Thanks!
