Overclocking R1 display

So I've heard of people Overclocking there displays to get higher refresh rates (60 Hz to 75-80 Hz) is this possible with the M11x R1 display and what are the benefits of getting a higher refresh rates?

Yes its possible, you do it from nvidia controlpanel.
Higher refresh rate give less stress for your eye.
There is some other things there is good too but can't remember what.

 

I have a question for you, at this tread http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m11x/605682-m11x-r1-max-gpu-overclock.html
you overclocked your card pretty much, how did you do that and where did you got that driver???

 

Keep in mind that not all display are really capable of displaying higher true refresh rate.

As an example, I tried to overclock my m17x r3 display from 60hz to 75hz. Although the settings did apply successfully, the image on the screen is noticeably choppier as the screen instead of rendering at 75hz is actually frame skipping (one easy way to tell is drag your mouse pointer from the left edge of your screen to the right edge slowly, if you notice it getting choppy or laggy, it means your monitor can't display that refresh rate)

There are gaming benefits with running at a higher refresh rate (games run and play smoother at 90-120hz than they do at 60hz,) but it's pointless on an M11x. You'd simply be adding unnecessary stress on the display, and there aren't any modern games that will run at 60+fps on an r1 anyway.

 

Can this be done on AMD gpu's I wonder? Anyone tried it yet?

The screens in alienwares are sub par so that's not surprising. They use those glossy panels to make them look better. They don't do mat screens because they know they'd need to spend more to get a quality screen.

 

Actually you can do it regardless of video card. There is a tool for overriding refresh rate of your display. You can Google it. I think its made by toastyx
