Ocing a 144hz panel?

I just wonder if anyone around here has done it. I was thinking of trying to OC my monitor past 144hz but before I do I want to see if anyone has done it and what (if any) performance gains are to be had.

Kinda pointless to me...It won't OC much

Won't your display interface be saturated at 144hz already?

Yeah I know but the way I see it is why the hell not?

I am of the belief 144hz is not actually the maximum the brain can interpret so not really. Realistically I won't be able to push the frames with my GPU on any games but CS but thats 90% of what I play anyway.

Useless IMO, 144hz is already enough.

Actually they tested Navy pilots and they could detect a single frame outta 200..

Your specs don't really call for OCing your monitor..

Eyes dont look in frames per sec. More in spots. A brain can easily tell the difference between 10K & 1M fps.

I think it is not a matter of what the eye can perceive but what the brain can interpret. Plus any frame above 144 pushed by my GPU is essentially wasted so I definitely see reason to do it. My question is if I will run into any complications doing it with this panel or if whether I will be able to do it at all.

Cause they are navy pilots also that isn't exactly how it works. If i show you video at 200fps and it's all with but one frame is black. You wil notice it. If it's similair colour you will not.

Actually they showed 200 frames and one was a certain picture and they could tell what the pic was..

 

And OCing multi input monitors is usually not worth the task..

Okay thats what I was looking for. I will try my luck later today then however I suspect 144hz panels are just binned from other monitors anyway and 144 was the biggest number most manufacturers could get to make economic sense.

Also to add some monitors dont really allow you to go any higher than 5Hz, most samsung monitors pcb is locking it like my s27a750d.

You can't overclock the monitor.

First of all the panel is not fast enough, and second you go over dual link DVI max resolution which is: 1920x1200 @ 120Hz (as it's 1080p, and not 1200p, you can go to 144Hz)

Like those with 2560x1440 and tried to overclock their monitor, they can't, without frame drops.

because dual link DVI is: 2560x1600 @ 60Hz. So they can get 75Hz, and with some luck with 90Hz, but usually you start seeing frame skipping. Those that reach 120Hz clearly have sever frame skip, whether they see it or not, it's a different story. I think they don't have the hardware to run their game at 120Hz solid to notice.

i would love to know, bandwidth wise what is the actual maximum. Is it really 1920x1200 @ 120 or is there a bit more to be had.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.

no point on OCing that. you'll just get badder washed out colors.

When 2 things meet each other, Quantum stuff happens.
