Overclocking Refresh rates : Asus VE248H

Hey I am new to overclocking monitor refresh rates, seen as I am pretty badass when it comes to overclocking hardware and really like to push my hardware to the limits.

Now as far as I am aware this is a pretty strong premium monitor without getting into IPS territory and was just wondering what is your overclocking range going to be, what can I expect to get because I managed to get to 66.6 Hz using custom resolution before my monitor would display out of range. Is there anyway to increase my maximum range or is there limitations when increasing pixel clock rate?

Even if you can get the screen to display an image with forced timings there is absolutely nothing to say it will display the image properly. Most actually just drop the additional frames anyway making it largely pointless.

Image is displaying perfectly well; if not a little more crispy in desktop mode just looking into running in 3D applications now. I am also using LucidLogix VirtuMVP with virtual vsync so hopefully the two will work well together to create the effect I am after.

A lot of the time the interface chips can't handle it and the actual monitor will drop frames internally. Very common but in some cases it will work ok

Good to know it's something I will watch out for; I am running Battlefield 3 @ ~100 - 120fps with virtual vsync enabled @ 1080p, 66.65 hz which is about the maximum I can pull out of the monitor. It is very fluid with no tearing and it looks ultra sharp I can wiggle the mouse around like crazy and I don't miss any frames so it is working well for what I intended it to do.

It is just something I recently became interested in with the introduction of Titan's pixel clock rate overclocking, thinking it should be possible for all 6xx GPU's and this is where I ended up. I just wondered if anyone had any tips for pushing it past the point where I am into "out of range" territory. Obviously there is noway I can increase the voltage on a monitor heh but it's an Asus incredibly well made and not a cheap one; I got a 10% increase over stock refresh rate which is good.

When I take into consideration a successful overclock in terms of CPU or GPU a 5 fps increase is a good increase. so a 6hz refresh rate increase means potential I can put those 5 extra fps I am squeezing from my graphics card to better use, this is really important if I am overclocking for higher gains and responses in gaming rather than gains for benchmarking.

67hz is a pretty typical upper limit for overclocking most LCD monitors. To go significantly higher you need a monitor like the Overlord Tempest X270OC or the Yamakasi Catleap Extreme 2B.

As for frame skipping, this can be checked using the Refresh Rate Multitool software (search Google - it's on a (H)ard Forum thread).

That sounds like an awesome tool like I said before I am using VirtuMVP vsync which I paid for [ not the motherboard freebee version ] so it would be good to see my frame rate actual because virtual vsync allows me to render frames upto 120 + fps while maintaining vsync with no screen tearing.
