Can I increase my Refresh Rate?

[dudeidk1999]

My monitor is = https://www.amazon.in/Samsung-23-5-inch-Curved-Monitor/dp/B01GFPGHSM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1540997596&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+monitor

I read a comment saying that the refresh rate to 90hz. May I know how it is done? Also, will I require an HDMI cable?

Thank you.

Check out Gamer's Nexus' article on it. 90Hz is probably too ambitious, but you can get reasonably far.

My specs are

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

RAM 16 GB

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 (build 17134), 64-bit


Is 75Hz impossible too?

There's a chance you'll be able to. Just fiddle around with the overclock like they say to do in the tutorial and see how far you can get.

Short answer, yes you can. It's a bit hit and miss though.

You need to OC the monitor. You can do this through the NVidia control panel. Set a custom resolution and hz, then test it. If the test passes then that's the first part.

After that you need to confirm the monitor is working at the new hz. You can do this with a tool like this: https://www.testufo.com/frameskipping

I have my 60hz panel (like yours) running sweet at 75hz.

Does anyone of you have discord? I'd like to screenshare and all.

Do you mean streaming? You won't have a great experience as your GPU is a little weak.

I tried testing my refresh rate at 74, it worked but the image is kind of pixelated.

That means you have to dial back the overclock a bit

In that case even 61 gets blurry.

Odd. Maybe your monitor is just a really bad overclocker? It's hard to say.
