Inkriql Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 There are many users who are updating their PC and for different reasons keep the same monitor. But at a point where the performance jump is large, this monitor may not have enough hertz and we need something else. For those that the budget does not give them to acquire a better and faster monitor there is what is called as the overclock to the gaming panel, a simple method that can make us earn some extra and free hertz. The truth is that this technique has nothing to do with the typical settings of each monitor that allow us to increase the refresh rate of the panel from your OSD, but at the same time it is an equally valid way to get those extra hertz, except that by software. NVIDIA allows, like AMD, to choose a resolution and custom frequency through its drivers, which have the key to make us win those hertz through a kind of overclock. Overclocking the panel carries risks that we will have to assume Before starting we have to take into account several points to be addressed: The refresh rate and its increase depend on each panel / monitor. It is not a safe process to perform, some panels do not react well and can be blocked or broken, depending on the specific monitor. They can have counterpoints such as vague pixels, greater OD or derived problems, greater hertz is not always the most optimal. Increase the consumption and temperature of the panel. Logically from HardZone.es we are not responsible for any type of failure and it is the responsibility of each to perform this technique under their own consequences. That said and first of all, we must take into account that we need in this case an NVIDIA GPU, its corresponding drivers installed, if possible the latest available for the graphics card and a monitor connected by HDMI or DisplayPort (if the latter is better) . Said monitor cannot have a G-SYNC module, since said module physically limits both the resolution and the hertz that it can access. NVIDIA Control Panel: the key to force the monitor overclock To begin, we will have to go directly to the NVIDIA control panel, by pressing the right mouse button on the desktop and selecting it. nvidia overclock monitor 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
