Full Version: Overclocking over DP on 34" Ultrawide curve?

Was running 3x 27" QNIX at 100Hz and decided to try out the new LG Ultrawide 34" Curve (LG 34UC97-S). Its got DP, HDMI and Thunderbolt inputs so I wasnt expecting much success but wanted to give it a shot.

With the QNIX's I was pushing even the DP output at 100Hz (via the 330MHz DP to DVI adapter every one here recommends). However with the 34" LG, I cant get Windows to register anything over 60Hz. Its completely ignoring everything I set in CRU.

3440x1440 @ 60Hz is only 312Mhz / 7.5Gbits a second. The DP port is a 1.2 meaning its capable of 15Gbits.


Whats my point of restriction? Is Thunderbolt any use for pushing the Hz up?
