Worth overclocking?

[XaZor^]

Hey

 

Just bought a ASUS ROG Swift PG278QE

 

That out of the box is 144hz, but can be overclocked in the monitor menu to 165hz.

 

But my question is. does it change anything like responsetime/inputlag to active the 165hz overclock?

 

Best regards XaZor^

I mean it simply increases the refreshrate which should in turn improve input delay and responsiveness but not by a whole lot. Monitor overclocks like that are fairly easy so there isn't much effort required to do so if you want that small increase in performance.

So to make sure i understand 100% what you mean.

 

by overclocking to 165hz i should get better "response time / Input lag" ?

You will see your actions on screen after you press a button slightly faster yes. Now this is not to say that your actions go through faster after pressing a button it simply means you will see it faster because your monitor will refresh faster. Also I should note that between 165 and 144hz you the gains are very minor.
