00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:14.679
welcome to one of the most exciting videos that I've had to make for you

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:18.160
guys in quite a while how to overclock

00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:21.279
your monitor using the NVIDIA drivers un

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.640
enabled cards so we have a GeForce GTX

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.800
Titan in our test bench here running on

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:32.000
a 30-in 2560 x660 HZ monitor now the

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.520
thing about 2560 x600 monitors is that

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.719
they only really exist as 60 HZ panels

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.399
because the manufacturers only R Sim

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

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

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

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

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:03.519
the advanced settings within the display configuration here go to Monitor and

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

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.920
situation like this where you hook a monitor up to your graphics card the

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.840
graphics card reads the codes on the

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

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

00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:28.799
that information and then it locks everything down so it would only say 60

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

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:38.360
NVIDIA control panel on an enabled card I've gone to change resolution and I

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:40.680
have created myself customize some

00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:45.320
custom resolutions here now like all overclocking this may adversely affect

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:50.520
the reliability of your monitor you are overclocking the electronics inside the

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:52.560
panel to speed it up to get more frames

00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:56.799
per second more well no not fra well you are getting more effective images per

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

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.920
can adversely affect reliability it could adversely affect your warranty if

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:08.399
the manufacturer found out that you did that or if you know you're honest with

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

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:17.640
to create a custom resolution now I tried creating one at 90 HZ like any

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.160
overclocking there's no guarantees that things are going to work so you can put

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:25.120
in your horizontal and vertical pixels your refresh rate your color depth your

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

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.560
timing stuff I would just probably leave to uh automatic now you can see here 90

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

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

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:43.920
GeForce GTX Titan it's probably going to run all

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

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

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:58.120
running games at 100 frames per second if my monitor can only show me 60 of

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:03.159
them that's why you might want to overclock your monitor because that way

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

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

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

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

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:24.040
advanced settings and I would apply that 80 HZ profile it makes a tangible real

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:29.519
world difference in the fluidity of the motion and unlike 3D monitors which are

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.080
TN panels This is a VA panel you could do with an IPS panel potentially again

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.239
no guarantees how far your monitor will go some will go further some will go

00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:41.599
less far and you don't see any image quality degradation so with a TN panel

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

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.920
have very deep colors you don't have very accurate Colors by overclocking an

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.959
IPS or a VA or some other kind of PLS panel something along those lines you

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:58.159
can end up with a monitor that still looks good and delivers more fluid

00:03:54.040 --> 00:04:00.799
movement than a 60 HZ monitor can so

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:05.239
that 100 FPS or 80 FPS that your video card is capable of outputting isn't

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:11.079
going to be as bottlenecked by the monitor because of this overclocking

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:15.840
option so I say kudos to NVIDIA for allowing the Enthusiast to do this by

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.720
unlocking it at the driver level and I think that pretty much concludes this

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:24.759
video thank you for checking out this I was about to say unboxing but it's
