Hey everyone, I'm trying to overclock my monitor using Radeon Settings. Should I only adjust the refresh rate in the Custom Resolution or also modify it in the Display Settings of the desktop? Because when I set the custom resolution to 75hz and change the refresh rate in the Monitor and GPU properties, it shows an error. Do I really need to tweak the refresh rate in the properties, or can Radeon Settings handle it on its own?

Hey everyone, I was adjusting my resolution to 1280x768 for default settings, which works fine. Then I tried 1280x768 at 75hz, but whenever I change the refresh rate, the resolution drops to 640x480. I just want to test 75hz consistently.

The exact specifications of the monitor are important, but just because you can adjust settings on Windows doesn't guarantee it will work with the monitor.

Ensure you're using the HDMI connection on the monitor first, then gradually increase the HZ in your driver by two at a time. If you notice distortion or an out-of-range warning, lower the HZ by one until the image stabilizes. I had a monitor that only supported 66Hz.

Adjustments are limited to custom resolution options.
