    You can't make it working. Display need to be 3D compatible and it's dying technology nowadays.

    That depends on the panel, same as with CPU. One can do better, other can do worse.

    You can also overclock using Nvidia drivers, no need to use CRU.

    nope CRU is needed because some games just dont see the new screen refresh rates and it stays with 60 hz with the nvidia screen overclock :) and CRU fixed this for me
