G751JY 60Hz display hack

Hello,
wanted to report here my experience trying to change panel refresh 75Hz -> 60Hz for perfect 60fps/60Hz smooth gaming.

1. Open NVidia panel and go to Change Resolution on the left.
2. Start from 1920x1080@75 and click the button at bottom "Customize"
3. Keep everything as default and change just Refresh rate: 75Hz -> 60Hz

Make it your default desktop resolution.

At this point many games will already be able to choose this screen resolution but not all (some will still use native fullHD @75Hz). To fix it once and forever I just installed new NVidia drivers OVER the old ones (no driver clean-up first) and from that moment on the "Native" resolution for me and NVidia drivers became 1920x1080 @60Hz, probably tricked by the 60Hz desktop std resolution.

Many games run visibly much better because capped at 60fps (e.g. NFS: Hot Pursuit etc.) and look perfectly smooth finally! Moreover you won't have to reach 75fps to see perfect smoothness on screen, 60fps will be enough and demanding games (yes, even with a 980M) will thank you.

P.S.:
Here is a video on YT with one guy explaining how to make a custom screen resolution through NVidia control panel:

 

You could also try seeing if the panel can cope with 90hz which should also run well.

 

The G751JY IPS panel can be overclocked to 100Hz and "supports" G-Sync

 

Max panel clocks vary from panel to panel even of the same type.

 

No way. I've switched from 75Hz to 60Hz on purpose, to see perfect smoothness (60fps games & 60Hz video refresh sync'ed).
Before (75Hz at default) many games capped at 60fps didn't look very smooth, even with constant 60 fps framerate.

Really supports G-Sync? Interesting... Hopes to see the G-SYNC option available in next official nVidia drivers?
EDIT: confirmed. BIOS 207 adds support for G-SYNC, now waiting for nVidia drivers...

 

90hz as 1.5x should suffer less from such a mismatch, it all comes down to the maths in the end.

 

Believe me, there's a BIG difference when you have FPS/display Hz sync'ed...
Everything different from the exact proportion won't look as smooth as that.
But many users don't understand this and just push resolution refresh frequency to the max thinking it's always the best thing to do. I've read happy users proud to have 100+Hz refresh, saying the x game was running smoothly at 60fps, that simply can't be (LOL!)... they don't imagine how silky smooth can be 60fps/60Hz. For a 100Hz screen, the perfection is 100fps.

 

Then again locking the fps using vsync introduces input lag that many (myself included) can't stand. G-sync is a big help in this regard.
