Dell overclocking

[OhYou_]

Is there by chance anyone who knows of a way to push dell monitors harder? It seems they have a hard cap at 73hz which is stupid, it's not artifacting, even with loose as hell timings.

Its not frameskipping at all, full 1s shot, 72 and two halves wtf. 

I hate Dell so much it's unreal

What exactly are you expecting from a bare minimum monitor? Why would they make them more capable when that costs them more money for a bare minimum one? This is dell, if they can they WILL charge more for features.

My Asus goes to 86hz and it's a more basic monitor 

This is a clear software limit, it sees 74 and just says timing not supported

Completely irrelevant in terms of that as they should be from different manufactures.. You are trying to have an issue with hardware having hard caps as the panel was not designed to run at that speed so there are some caps in place to prevent it from bricking. Its nice that it can even Overclock to 74hz, but to be expecting it to be able to just do things because you want it to? No.

 

Is it fun to tinker and see how far you can push it? Sure. You will need to do custom Firmware flashing and potentially brick it.

there is no suck thing as bricking a monitor lmao
all lcds can do a lot more than 60hz, its more the controller limitation.
