Monitor Overclocking & 60Hz Screen Tearing

[Havoc2510]

Hello all,

For a while now I've had a GTX 770 and an AOC IPS Monitor capable of 60Hz. The bizarre thing is, while the graphics card is easily reaching 60fps, there are still noticeable screen tears. So, I decided to overclock my monitor and see if this would help.

It reached 75Hz working, though I've lowered it a bit to 72 just to be safe. Now I can't notice any screen tearing, but since I'm using HDMI as my input to the monitor I was wondering if this is just a placebo effect because I read somewhere that HDMI is only capable of 1080p at 60fps .

If so, is there a genuine solution?

Thanks in advance

it actualy works... mine is oc'd to 75hz

hdmi 1.4 which is most common one can deliver upto 120hz at 1080p for 3d content.. i am sure its capable of more for 2d

Hopefully someone will be able to answer this more directly, I just wanted to input that it used to be anyways, that tearing was caused by not having v-sync enabled, I know it's worked for me on my 9500 GT
