Hi there. Im new to this forum, so if I have posted this thread at wrong place kindly move it.
Over to the case: I have an Samsung monitor of the type: s24c450. I remember a long time ago when I had a gaming desktop PC, the only way I could get 75hz was if i connected to the monitor through VGA cable. Using the HDMI-DVI cable only gave me maximum 60hz.
Now that the desktop PC i sold(long time ago), I am now using a Dell laptop: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/dell-g3-15-gaming-laptop/spd/g-series-15-3579-laptop
with Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 TI installed.
So here is my issue: My laptop only had HDMI, no VGA, no DVI. So to connect to the Samsung monitor, I need to use HDMI-DVI cable, but then i only get 60hz, and for CS:GO it is a huge problem for me.
So here are my choices:
As I got this monitor for free, and easily can get a new monitor, I think i will go for option 2, meaning i will overclock my monitor.
I know that there is a risk of the monitor getting damaged, but what about my GPU(Nvidia 1050 Ti)? Can the GPU get harmed or damaged of overclocking the monitor?
Thanks for answer.

So here are my choices:
- Buy a new monitor?
- Overclock the monitor using the CRU program only. I cannot use Nvidia geforce controlpanel as the latest nvidia software dont let you do this? I can not see the Display category inside there..
