Help OC x34

[Deepia]

Hey guys,

 

So I've got my Gaming PC put together and everything works really awesome. I seem to be having a problem with framerate drops on my monitor. The FPS will run 60fps and then drop to about 1-20fps and then go back up for a little bit and then drop back down.

 

Now, I don't know if I need a displayport cable to Overclock my monitor or not. Is there a specific displayport cable that I would need to buy? And I am having a LOT of trouble trying to figure out how to overclock the monitor to 100hz(?)

 

I watched a youtube video over a month ago, but that isn't really helping much. Do I need a DP cable to overclock a monitor?

 

If anyone can help or advise on how to proceed I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you for the help.

overclocking it is easy. just going into the nvidia control panel, click change resolution and then click custom. under create custom resolution just keep upping the Hz number by 5 at a time until it comes up with "no input" then dial it back by 5 and youll be fine. i think my x34a runs at 103hz stable. i also use a displayport cable.

Probably. I'm not 100% sure on what HDMI supports, but generally DP is superior. On my rig I cap out at 50hz on HDMI but that might just be the older version of HDMI that the Fury X supports (also 3440*1440).

Ok, I will look into it.

a standard hdmi 1.2 cable will support 4k 60hz, so im guessing it wont support 3440x1400 100hz
