任何游戏爱好者都知道，拥有高刷新率的显示器是高端游戏的必备条件。虽然您可以在单人游戏中使用标准的 60 Hz 显示器，但像 Valorant 这样的竞争性瓷砖需要更多(competitive tiles like Valorant need a bit more)。
那么，除了购买更好的显示器(buying a better monitor)之外，您还能做些什么来跨越这个鸿沟？超频它，当然。在本文中，我们将了解如何超频您的显示器及其好处。
什么是超频？
计算机(Computer)硬件的制造并不精确。例如，如果您购买了两个相同型号的图形处理器，它们之间会存在细微的差异。一个甚至可能比另一个表现得更好。
方框上显示的数值仅代表标准最小值；实际上，每个芯片的功能远不止于此。通过使用第三方应用程序和系统设置来释放这种潜力被称为超频。
超频显示器意味着设置更快的刷新率。如果您的显示器可以处理它，您将能够立即获得好处。请注意，这种增加不会将您的 60 Hz 显示转换为 120 Hz，但它可能会将其带到 70+ Hz 标记。
超频显示器安全吗？
当谈到对处理器进行超频时，总会有警告随之而来。这是因为超频芯片需要使其承受更高的温度和工作电压，这对机器来说可能并不总是安全的。
但是对于显示器，情况就不同了。超频显示器只会提示它更快地刷新。曾经有一段时间，搞乱你的分辨率可能会让事情变得难以修复(tricky to fix)，但现在，除非得到确认，否则Windows会自动恢复旧设置。此外，您不需要专门的工具或硬件来超频显示器。
所以是的。对显示器进行超频是一个非常安全且简单的过程，即使在笔记本电脑上也是如此。
(Overclock)通过Nvidia 控制面板(Nvidia Control Panel)超频您的显示器(Monitor)
如果您的计算机上有Nvidia GPU，则可以使用Nvidia 控制面板(Nvidia Control Panel)来修改显示器的刷新率。请注意，这仅适用于您的显示器由GPU供电，而不是集成显卡。您可以随时从集成显卡切换到您的显卡(switch from integrated graphics to your graphics card)。
- 要访问Nvidia设置，请右键单击桌面上的任意位置，然后从菜单中选择Nvidia 控制面板(Nvidia Control Panel)选项。
- 在打开的新窗口中，前往“显示”(Display )选项卡。
- 选择更改分辨率(Change Resolution)选项。向下滚动(Scroll)，在选择分辨率(Choose the resolution)类别下，点击自定义(Customize )按钮。
- 在打开的窗口中，选择Create Custom Resolution.Nvidia 4
- 现在您可以手动将刷新率调整为任何所需的值。我们建议以小间隔提高它，以准确确定显示器的天花板。每次更改后使用“测试(Test )”按钮检查您的显示是否正确呈现。如果您遇到黑屏或任何其他视觉伪影，请不要惊慌，因为如果您不确认更改，几秒钟后屏幕将恢复正常。
在AMD Radeon 设置(AMD Radeon Settings)中设置更高的刷新率(Rate)
AMD Radeon 设置(AMD Radeon Settings)中曾经有一个设置刷新率的选项，但在Windows 10中已将其删除。所以现在你需要使用像CRU(CRU)这样的第三方工具来实现同样的事情。
提高英特尔显卡设置(Intel Graphics Settings)中的刷新率(Refresh Rate)
如果您的计算机使用 Intel 的集成显卡，您可以从Intel Graphics Control Panel(Intel Graphics Control Panel)设置刷新率。
- 要查找应用程序，请在“开始(Start)”菜单旁边的搜索框中搜索Intel Graphics Control Panel 。
- 打开应用程序并选择显示。(Display.)
- 现在选择自定义分辨率(Custom Resolutions)并添加所需的分辨率以及自定义刷新率。这个想法是创建多个具有逐渐增加刷新率的选项，以便您可以轻松测试并为您的显示器选择正确的选项。
- 返回常规设置(General Settings )以尝试这些刷新率。从刷新率(Refresh Rate.)下的下拉菜单中一一选择输入的值。在每个步骤后应用以验证它是否正常工作。一旦达到使屏幕空白的值，请返回之前的刷新率。这是您的显示器可以处理的最大值。
使用自定义分辨率实用程序(Custom Resolution Utility)超频您的显示器(Your Monitor)
自定义分辨率实用程序(Custom Resolution Utility)或CRU是一组工具，可让您更改计算机在任何处理器、Intel或AMD上的显示属性。使用CRU，可以超频您的显示器，而无需使用 PC 图形处理器的本机控制面板。
- 首先，从Monitor Tests 论坛(Monitor Tests forum)下载 CRU 。
- 解压刚刚下载的文件，得到应用程序的可执行文件。无需安装。
- 运行应用程序会弹出一个如下图所示的窗口。它列出了您当前的分辨率和刷新率等。选择最顶部面板下的添加(Add )（列出您当前分辨率的那个），将出现一个新窗口。
- 从这里为几乎所有显示设置设置(Set)自定义值，尽管我们只想修改刷新率以达到我们的目的。以小增量进行更改(Make)。
- 运行与CRU应用程序捆绑在一起的重启(restart )实用程序来测试新的刷新率。这将重新启动您的显示设置，而无需关闭整个计算机。使用它来快速测试一系列不断增加的刷新率，直到您遇到视觉问题。
超频显示器(Monitor)的最佳方法是什么？
提高显示器刷新率的最简单方法是使用自定义分辨率实用程序(Custom Resolution Utility)。它有助于对正在使用的任何品牌的集成显卡进行必要的修改。对于那些拥有独立显卡的人来说，Nvidia 控制面板(Nvidia Control Panel)是更好的选择。
How to Overclock Your Monitor to Get a Higher Refresh Rate for Gaming
As any gamіng enthusiast knows, having a monitor with a high refresh rate is a must for high-end gaming. While you can get by with a standard 60 Hz monitor for single-player games, competitive tiles like Valorant need a bit more.
So what can you do to cross that gap – apart from buying a better monitor? Overclock it, of course. In this article, we will take a look at how to overclock your monitor and its benefits.
What is Overclocking?
Computer hardware is not manufactured to precision. For example, if you buy two graphic processors of the same model, there will be slight differences between them. One might even be able to perform much better than the other.
The values displayed on the box only represent the standard minimum; in practice, every chip is capable of much more than that. Unlocking this potential by the use of third-party applications and system settings is known as overclocking.
Overclocking the monitor means setting a faster refresh rate. If your monitor can handle it, you will be able to reap the benefits instantly. This increase isn’t going to convert your 60 Hz display to 120 Hz, mind you, but it might take it to the 70+ Hz mark.
Is Overclocking Your Monitor Safe?
When there’s talk of overclocking a processor, there will always be warnings that go along with it. This is because overclocking a chip involves subjecting it to higher temperatures and operating voltages, which may not always be safe for the machine.
But with monitors, it is different. Overclocking a monitor only prompts it to refresh faster. There was a time when messing with your resolution could make things tricky to fix, but nowadays, Windows automatically restores the old setting unless confirmed. Also, you don’t need specialized tools or hardware to overclock a display.
So yes. Overclocking your monitor is a perfectly safe and easy process, even on laptops.
Overclock Your Monitor Through the Nvidia Control Panel
If you have an Nvidia GPU on your computer, you can use the Nvidia Control Panel to modify your display’s refresh rate. Note that this only works if your monitor is being powered by the GPU, not the integrated graphics. You can always switch from integrated graphics to your graphics card.
- To access the Nvidia settings, right-click anywhere on your desktop and select the Nvidia Control Panel option from the menu.
- In the new window that opens up, head to the Display tab.
- Select the Change Resolution option. Scroll down, and under the Choose the resolution category, hit the Customize button.
- In the window that opens up, choose Create Custom Resolution.Nvidia 4
- Now you can manually adjust your refresh rate to any desired value. We recommend raising it by small intervals to determine your monitor’s ceiling accurately. Use the Test button after each change to check whether your display is rendering correctly or not. In case you encounter a black screen or any other visual artifacts, don’t panic, as the screen will revert to normal after a few seconds if you don’t confirm the change.
Set a Higher Refresh Rate in AMD Radeon Settings
There used to be an option in the AMD Radeon Settings to set the refresh rate, but it has been removed in Windows 10. So now you need to use a third-party tool like CRU to achieve the same thing.
Increase the Refresh Rate in Intel Graphics Settings
If your computer uses Intel’s integrated graphics, you can set the refresh rate from the Intel Graphics Control Panel.
- To find the application, search for Intel Graphics Control Panel in the search box located alongside the Start menu.
- Open the app and select Display.
- Now select Custom Resolutions and add the resolutions you want, along with your custom refresh rates. The idea is to create multiple options with gradually incrementing refresh rates so that you can easily test and select the right one for your monitor.
- Head back to General Settings to try these refresh rates. Select the entered values one by one from the drop-down menu under Refresh Rate. Apply after each step to verify that it’s working. As soon as you reach a value that blanks out your screen, return to the previous refresh rate. That’s the maximum your monitor can handle.
Using the Custom Resolution Utility To Overclock Your Monitor
Custom Resolution Utility or CRU is a set of tools that allow you to change your computer’s display properties on any processor, Intel or AMD. Using CRU, it’s possible to overclock your monitor without bothering with the native control panel of your PC’s graphics processor.
- First, download CRU from the Monitor Tests forum.
- Unzip the file you just downloaded to get the application’s executable file. No installation is required.
- Running the application brings up a window like the one below. It lists your current resolution and refresh rate etc. Select Add under the top-most panel (the one listing your current resolution), and a new window will appear.
- Set custom values for almost all display settings from here, though we just want to modify the refresh rate for our purpose. Make changes in small increments.
- Run the restart utility bundled with the CRU app to test the new refresh rate. This restarts your display settings without having to shut down the whole computer. Use this to quickly test a series of increasing refresh rates until you encounter visual problems.
What is the Best Way to Overclock Your Monitor?
The easiest way to increase the refresh rate of your monitor is to use the Custom Resolution Utility. It helps to make necessary modifications to any brand of integrated graphics in use. For those with discrete graphics cards, the Nvidia Control Panel is the better option.
