Q: Well not really overclocked per say, but ran at resolutions passed limits.
such has been declared 1600 * 1200 at 75 Hz on a 17 “
Best Answer: Overclocking will always make a difference – question is, will it be a good or bad difference?
if the system crashes at all, it is probably overclocked too much or undercooled
You can increase the stability of the overclock by running at higher voltages – however, this increases heat (a lot) and can crash/burn the system
Also, your memory and video card need to be able to handle the increased clock speeds or they have to be throttled down to safe levels. Memory is much more tempermental than the CPU – you have to adjust timings and latency – even then, memory requires heatsinks and voltage adjusting to overclock – most overclockers buy special memory that is able to be overclocked
Overclocking takes a lot of trial and error – and sometimes burns parts out. I wouldn't recommend attempting going higher than "1 or 2 notches" above factory spec at first
The monitor has no impact on the FPS – the graphic card does. If the monitor cant keep up, you get blurring and stuff, but the FPS is a function of the graphics system, which is the CPU and the GPU

I have. I used to run my monitor at 1280×960 @70 hz (rated at 60), but I got an ati card and for some stupid reason it doesn't support 1280×960. CRT's are still 4:3, not 5:4.
Yeah its an Ati driver thing. I don't mind I run 1280×1024 anyway…….

Re:I have done it before without problem, but I couldn't notice much of a difference between 85Hz an 100Hz, so I reverted back to standard settings.
Re:With an LCD that doesn't buy anything – anything but native resolution degrades the image.
Re:I'm doing so right now, but plug and play doesn't detect this particular monitor. I'm not even sure if it's a P70. On a second note, my R8500 is listed as 'Other devices' and I can't change my monitor to someting other than default. weird, eh?
Re:No. I don't plan on running out of spec anytime soon.
Re:I stated this in another thread, if the settings were available via DCC/plug-n-play setup, you should be fine. If you are forcing the monitor to accept input it's not rated for, you risk burning it out or otherwise shortening it's life span.
