Cool, got my monitor working at 165.0 Mhz (67 refresh rate)
feels smoother.
Works at 65 for me, any more and the screen goes nuts. And yeah there's a slight boost in smoothness especially when moving the cursor around, it feels weird.
I made it to 74hz, any higher and is all shitty. Not sure if it will cause damage in the long run, but i don't give a shit, need a new monitor anyways.
After I got my 120Hz monitor, it was like I was experiencing everything for the first time again. Like it says in the article, even just doing whatever in Windows is completely different. I probably just moved a window in a circle for 10 minutes when I first set it up. I don't care if the panel is lower quality, I'd never go back to 60Hz.
I was considering getting a 120 Hz monitor, but considering that I rarely get 120 FPS while playing I didn't really see the need to get one.
I also wanted a 27" 1440P monitor, so yeah, it would have to be one of those Korean screens, although I don't actually think the 120 Hz versions exist anymore?
I went from 60 to 77Hz before my monitor tells me it's not the optimal mode.
I can really notice the difference in some rhythm games.
Lame, it gives me that API error on my GTX 660M. Maybe it's because of Optimus.
Oh god I played around with the settings and now it won't reset from a mode it failed to display. How do I reset this? Currently using safe mode so nothing is broken, but the EVGA program doesn't work in safe mode.

Alright I fixed it by doing a clean reinstall of the graphics driver.
It's just a resolution option, this program just makes it easier to test for what your monitor can handle.
You can do this "trick" by creating a custom resolution in the nvidia control panel under "Change resolution" and pressing Customize and creating a custom resolution with a refresh rate of your own.
You reset this through the nvidia control panel the same way but then just selecting a refresh rate of 60.
You can also reset it by going into the screen resolution options of windows, clicking advanced settings, go to the monitor tab and setting it back to 60Hz
I don't think my monitor is supported because I don't see any difference. I set it at 90Hz. Oh well.
How would you know that it worked? Does your cursor movement become silky smooth?
I can notice a difference from 60hz to 75hz too. Also, it seems 77hz+ is not optimal for my Samsung SM BX2350, so I'll keep it to 72hz, not sure if the optimal limit can cause any damage to my monitor. I hope it wont.
Went down to 47hz. Then up to 76hz.
Gets fuzzy over 61.
my monitor already supports 75 hz in the windows control panel, I don't see the point of this
How do I do this if I have a ATI card?
"There can be a limitation in the image transfer since some cables and standards have a 165 MHz pixel clock limit (DVI single-link & HDMI < 1.4), while DVI dual-link, DisplayPort and HDMI 1.4 have a 330 MHz pixel clock."

When I go past 165 Mhz my screen goes all fuzzy. My monitor's limit seems to be at 67 Hz.
My monitors refuse to display a picture if set to over 62Hz, just get a small box telling me I need to use a supported display mode. (Dell U2412M)
I don't know how long this placebo effect will work but playing Battlefield 3 at 67 FPS is like sex! :v:
Works stable up to 125Hz (~300MHz pixel clock)
164.9 MHz (just under 68Hz) is the upper limit for me. Any higher and everything starts fucking up.
The 120Hz monitor I bought had a nasty side effect, it's only 18-bit with dithering, which looks bad in dim 3D environments.
I'd love to get my monitor to 72hz for 3x24fps.
Though I'm scared of breaking it.

Yes, it will cause damage.
Basically, if your monitor isn't locked to a certain rate by firmware and not actual hardware rates, you pretty much have no business doing this.
I can only go up to 164.9mhz aswell, any higher and my screen goes fuzzy, that's 66hz.
Could it be because of my DVI cable? (someone posted above some cables have a limitation)
Custom Resolution Utility has let you do this for ages.

My little brother has a 60hz samsung that just so happens to have a screen controller that supports 1920x1080 120hz. He's been running it like that for a bit over a year now, works great for him and still hasn't killed off the monitor.
Someone should compile a guide of what screens (and production series of screens) that support what hz.

Single link cables don't let you transfer more than 4.95 Gbit/s @ 165 MHz, but Dual link is just limited by the copper in the cable, as well as what the output device supports.
I just necrobumped this thread didn't I. WHOOPS.
Anyway, I've gotten to 74hz on a DVI dual link (PC) to HDMI (monitor) (not sure what version) cable running. All the other DVI's in the house are single link cables :( Also, does a mini HDMI adapter still support 1920x1080@120hz?
Can't set my monitor above 145Hz from 144hz default, baww.

Oh crap, dat bump.
Also, CRU isn't working for me, I've changed it but no difference?
Nvidia control panel is set to 74hz aswell, no difference. EVGA Pixel Clock was working fine before, now it's also making no difference. Or maybe the tool I'm using ([url]http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping&horiz=15&vert=10[/url]) just stopped going above 60hz
[editline]20th April 2014[/editline]
I think it's just the tool, CS:S is giving me 74fps with vsync on, and it feels slgihtly smoother too
