Display Overclocking: Unleashing Your Monitor?s Potential

Many PC gamers play with VSync enabled to avoid unsightly image tearing that occurs when the frame rate is higher than the monitor?'s refresh rate. Most monitors are locked to 60Hz, limiting the max VSync frame rate to 60 frames per second. Thing is, 60Hz is a hang-up from the olden days of cathode ray tube technology, but we stick with it, simply because.

Unhappy with this stall in technological advancement, our engineers looked inside today?'s LCD and LED-backlit screens and discovered that many support higher refresh rates. For that reason we?'ve developed Display Overclocking, which allows GeForce GTX 770 owners to quickly and easily overclock their refresh rates via the same third-party tools that control GPU Boost 2.0. And of course, Display Overclocking works with Adaptive VSync too, allowing games to be played at 80Hz or more on a ?60Hz? screen, without tearing, and without the stuttering associated with normal VSync.
