1. Stop being poor
2. It's worth it
3. It's called having a better experience on your own

Kek, try again kiddo. My scaler wont take anything over 60hz.

You're on /g/. We're both poor nigger.

No it isn't. It literally adds nothing to the tasks I complete on my computer. It's only for gaymen /v/fags

>>58455689
>Stop being poor
So why don't you own a 144Hz 4K display to begin with, richfag?

It's okay because I ironically don't overstock my monitor

>>58455703

Are you sure? Any shit I try goes 76 or maybe 74.

>>58455612
>>58455689

Monitors aren't dying that easily. If it works it works and stays there forever. I've been using overclocked monitors for years.

>>58455939
I am 100% sure, even 61Hz will fuck it up.

>mfw anything above 76Hz makes my monitor complain that "it's too big for me senpai" and completely makes it stop working

>>58454958
I know right, it's crazy.

I've seen most monitors go to 75 (not much more, usually). Makes me suspect that setting a 60Hz "limit" is there because it's a "standard" refresh rate at this point.

Worth it.

>>58456284

fully tested. besides, most monitors pass the test.

>>58456309
Tried to oc my lg27ud58
It would frame skip at like 65hz even
Rarely but it was there like one out of 10 camera photos

>>58456284
Enjoy your down syndrome. Retard.

>>58454958
I already have a 144 one

>>58456285
Same boat here, I was satisfied with my QNIX enough to get a second one, sadly second one can't reach 120hz but can still go up to 110 so not a major loss.

I'm surprised /g/ doesn't talk about korean monitors more 2bh

>>58456353
>>58456285
The overclock on those Korean monitors is placebo because it simply drops the extra frames.

>>58454958
Because overclocking monitors on Linux is a hassle, and in my windows gaymen VM with my gtx 760 60fps 1080 is kinda the max.

>>58456367
Not really, early QNIXs and Catleaps are well known for overclocking fine, if it was just dropping frames then muh games wouldn't be as smooth as they are, and testing with blurbusters shows my two monitors aren't dropping shit.

Later QNIXs with the HDMI encoder do actually drop frames though, but luckily there's still plenty of the old models in stock.

>down syndrome

?

>>58455686
It always amazes me how the human body adapts, because we stare at screens so much now we can see over 40 frames, hence movies being released at 48fps. What next I wonder?

DUDE FUCK YOUR MONITOR UP FOR 10 EXTRA HZ LMAO

>>58456465
Monitors don't get damaged from running at higher refresh rates.

>>58456522
They do.

>>58456444
Telepathy

>>58456543
Prove it.

>>58454958
My monitor is already at 144hz, I don't need to overclock it.

Because my fucking shitty asus rog pg278q 1440p 144hz flickers when it goes over 120hz with g-sync on. This started 2 days after warranty finished. This isn't even my first
problem, previously about a year ago the power supply failed and they made me pay $50 shipping to ship the whole monitor with it. Shitty company.

Because even at 70Hz there is artifacting.

>>58456543
Worst that happened to me was slight burn-in which disappeared after I stopped OCing, your move chump

>no frameskipping, no artifacts, it just works, smooth as butter
what magic is this
also shoutout to Bryce@intel for delivering on the driver that made it possible

>>58457253
DID THEY FINALLY RELEASE IT? I had a Lenovo Y50 that was stuck at 48Hz because of that driver bullshit.

>>58457275
he provided a link to beta version of the driver
4th/5th gen on windows 10 or 5th gen on windows 7
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26504/Intel-Graphics-Test-Driver

>>58457314
Damn, now I wish I kept my Y50.

>>58456522
>>58456543
screens don't care, they either display shit thrown at them or not
their controllers on the other hand...
still its supposedly not dangerous at all, but i still wouldnt do it if you dont need it, simply due to higher load on your hardware. Its also not very noticable unless you OC from, say, 60 to 85-100, and not many monitors are capable of that.

>>58454958
Oh man, I used to have a 19" CRT that could run 1280x1024 at 90Hz. It was sooooo nice on the eyes

>>58454958
Sorry but im not a poorfag and already getting 144hz

I did but I couldn't the notice the difference so I returned to default settings.

>>58457640
60 to 75 is very noticeable in CSGO. Not so much in regular use, though.

I bought into the meme a few years ago back when I was into that PCMR shit and I got a PG278Q. Well, I was going to buy it myself but ended up getting it as a gift. I feel bad with it on my desk knowing that it cost a fuck load of money when I could literally do with any old monitor considering I'm not really that big into current games.

Would it be worth selling, getting a cheap monitor and putting away the cash? Or at this point is it worth so little used that I should just keep it. The resolution is nice for doing work and I do like the screen itself, just feel like I'm not getting the moneys worth.

>>58457756
If you can sell it for more than $500 do it and get a 1440p 60hz ips. I have a pg278q and it's been problematic but when it works it's fantastic. I am a gaymer however.
