    Greetings!

    During the process of installing drivers on my laptop i saw something quite out of the ordinary

    The drivers ( i know they are the old one , currently im running the newest AMD crimson relive ones) seem to run my laptops 60Hz monitor to 64Hz

    i was shocked
    later, i reset everything , installed new drivers , bla bla bla .... back to reality... 60Hz display..

    but this idea of overclocking the display woggled my mind...


    is overclocking my laptop default 1366x768 monitor possible? should i really do it? ...well... i dont mind the extra smoothness of the screen...

    has anyone ever overlocked a laptop default display before?

    my laptop specs:




    Processor
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
