00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:14,679
welcome to one of the most exciting videos that I've had to make for you

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:18,160
guys in quite a while how to overclock

3
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:21,279
your monitor using the NVIDIA drivers un

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,640
enabled cards so we have a GeForce GTX

5
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,800
Titan in our test bench here running on

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:32,000
a 30-in 2560 x660 HZ monitor now the

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,520
thing about 2560 x600 monitors is that

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,719
they only really exist as 60 HZ panels

9
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,399
because the manufacturers only R Sim

10
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:45,600
like that uh also it's a bit of a DVI dual link limitation we're led to

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,920
believe that allows you to only drive 60 frames per second or 60 hertz it's kind

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:55,359
of the same thing in this context but it isn't um at 2560 x600 so we'll have a

13
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:59,320
seat and I'll show you guys a cool little trick all I have to do is go into

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,519
the advanced settings within the display configuration here go to Monitor and

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:09,119
boom what are these options not just 60 HZ but 70 HZ 80 HZ now normally in a

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,920
situation like this where you hook a monitor up to your graphics card the

17
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:17,840
graphics card reads the codes on the

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,159
monitor that says I am a 60 HZ monitor I run at 60 HZ like a robot that's how

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,119
they would talk that's how a monitor talks um so what it does is it reads

20
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,799
that information and then it locks everything down so it would only say 60

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,040
HZ so why do I have additional options what I've done is I've gone into the

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:38,360
NVIDIA control panel on an enabled card I've gone to change resolution and I

23
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:40,680
have created myself customize some

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:45,320
custom resolutions here now like all overclocking this may adversely affect

25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:50,520
the reliability of your monitor you are overclocking the electronics inside the

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,560
panel to speed it up to get more frames

27
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:56,799
per second more well no not fra well you are getting more effective images per

28
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:01,159
second why don't I say that images per second because then it's kind of the same thing you are speeding it up so it

29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,920
can adversely affect reliability it could adversely affect your warranty if

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,399
the manufacturer found out that you did that or if you know you're honest with

31
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,200
them about it so all you really do is you try things so you go okay I'm going

32
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:17,640
to create a custom resolution now I tried creating one at 90 HZ like any

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,160
overclocking there's no guarantees that things are going to work so you can put

34
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:25,120
in your horizontal and vertical pixels your refresh rate your color depth your

35
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:28,400
scan type Progressive is what you guys are going to want to use and all of the

36
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,560
timing stuff I would just probably leave to uh automatic now you can see here 90

37
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:36,879
htz isn't going to work while it's this is waiting I'll explain to you guys why

38
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,200
you want to do this so if you buy a high-end graphics card maybe you buy a

39
00:02:38,519 --> 00:02:43,920
GeForce GTX Titan it's probably going to run all

40
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,040
your games at higher than 60 HZ and unless you buy a 3D monitor you can't

41
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:54,080
get one that runs higher than 60 HZ unless it's a CRT these days so why am I

42
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:58,120
running games at 100 frames per second if my monitor can only show me 60 of

43
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:03,159
them that's why you might want to overclock your monitor because that way

44
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:07,080
the monitor can actually show you in the case of this monitor it doesn't run 90

45
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,920
so it went black so we go okay cancel we're not going to create that resolution and instead we are going to

46
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,280
stick with the ones we have I've gone as high as 82 so that's what this one does

47
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,799
rather than push it right to the limit I would go ahead and I'd go back into my

48
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:24,040
advanced settings and I would apply that 80 HZ profile it makes a tangible real

49
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:29,519
world difference in the fluidity of the motion and unlike 3D monitors which are

50
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,080
TN panels This is a VA panel you could do with an IPS panel potentially again

51
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:37,239
no guarantees how far your monitor will go some will go further some will go

52
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,599
less far and you don't see any image quality degradation so with a TN panel

53
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,400
you're going to have uh very sh no it's not hooked up to anything but you don't

54
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,920
have very deep colors you don't have very accurate Colors by overclocking an

55
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,959
IPS or a VA or some other kind of PLS panel something along those lines you

56
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,159
can end up with a monitor that still looks good and delivers more fluid

57
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:00,799
movement than a 60 HZ monitor can so

58
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,239
that 100 FPS or 80 FPS that your video card is capable of outputting isn't

59
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:11,079
going to be as bottlenecked by the monitor because of this overclocking

60
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:15,840
option so I say kudos to NVIDIA for allowing the Enthusiast to do this by

61
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,720
unlocking it at the driver level and I think that pretty much concludes this

62
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:24,759
video thank you for checking out this I was about to say unboxing but it's

63
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,240
