Hi

I bought an acer predator XB321HK monitor, it says on several websites that it is overclockable to 165hz, i can not however get it to overclock at all using the nvidia control panel, any suggestions? am i missing something basic, i contacted acer "tech support" but they were useless.

Thank you

What issue are you facing? it is very straight forwards you make a custom restolution through nvidia control panel and increase the refresh rate, and test it, if its stable nVidia will allow the card to run it...

basically despite even acer saying that the monitor should be able to run at 144hz at 1440p i cant get it to overclock at all using the nvidia control panel, was hoping i might have missed something but i guess, going by that video it must be a hardware problem in the monitor

What is your Graphics Card and what cable are you using?

its a gtx 1080 and its display port, ive tried changing the cables too just incase

Yes but I think that 1440p 144hz you need DisplayPort 1.2a the standard DisplayPort 1.2 isn't enough...

 

@Glenwing is a monster when comes down to monitor knowledge maybe he can see this through with you.
