No Displayport, sadly enough.

AND WHO THE F__ IS QNIX

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

Overclockable? 

 

Can someone explain this?! 

 

Refresh rates of monitors can be "overclocked." That is, increasing the refresh rate of the panel. (From say 60hz to 75hz.) It's done very easily in Windows. You simply create resolution inside of Catalyst Control Center, or NVIDIA COntrol Panel, and set the refresh rate to something higher than your monitor. Go until the monitor seems unstable. (Either powering off, visual issues, or no display at all.) It decreases the lifespan of the monitor, but can eek out a few more hz from your display for no cost.

With 700 Series and up on Nvidia GPU's they have a pixel overclocker built in now so makes overclocking them super easy. Before you needed to use a Pixel Patcher in order to overclock them now you just move a slider and good to go. 

 

Everyone who's on a cheap 1080p screen should really consider buying these. Had one for several years and it looked and worked perfectly.

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

the spoiler ends with this -snip-

I didn't even look at that. I saw syntaxvgm saying that it ended eventually and then spent like 3 minutes trying to get to that video, and then I see your post showing exactly what happened at the end. I should do it again because I really do have too much time on my hands

Oh. Damn. It's a VA panel.

 

Actually it isn't... AHVA is an IPS variant, confusing I know... many of the 144Hz IPS monitors that have been coming out actually use AHVA if I am correct

 CPU:  Intel i7-4790K      Cooler:  Noctua NH-D14     GPU: ZOTAC GTX 1070 TI MINI     Motherboard:  ASUS Z97 Gryphon     RAM:  32GB G Skill Trident X     

Storage: 2x 512GB Samsung 850 EVO (RAID 0) / 2TB Seagate Barracuda     PSU: 850W EVGA SuperNova G2     Case: Fractal Design Node 804

or you could get this, its $50 more but has a  higher quality samsung pls panel.

 

I know AHVA is newer than PLS, and I think AHVA can have better refresh rates and such. Despite having VA in the name AHVA is actually an IPS technology, have you read anything comparing it to older technologies?

All i know is that a ahva panel is a bit worse than a ips panel.
