GPU shouldn't matter.

Also, right now I am in 1920*1080 60hz windows 10 laptop, if I change to 1920*1080 75hz; is there any problem in the long term to the durability of my screenmonitor?

And all this changes that I make in os windows 10 will be applied to other operative systems because I have dualboot?

There are no viruses. False positives from a few sources happens a lot, especially with lesser-known antivirus software.

There's no data on how higher refresh rates affect lifespan, but 75 Hz is normally not a problem.

Changes are local, so they won't affect other operating systems.

@ToastyX, For a few days I've been struggling with a problem. I am trying to connect my laptop (LENOVO Y720-15IKB) to my BENQ XL2411Z 144hz monitor. My monitor only supports 144hz over DVI-D, which my laptop doesn't have.
To solve this, I've bought an Apple A1306 Active mini-displayport to DVI-D adapter, which I tried to use but to no avail. The adapter works fine on my laptop with any resolution up to 1920x1080, but as soon as I crank up the HZ to anything above 65, the image becomes all blurry and my monitor says "Incorrect cable, please use the DVI dual link cable that came with your monitor" and keeps flickering. I have also noticed that even if I try to run my monitor at any refresh rate above 65hz on any resolution, even 640x480, it doesn't work, the monitor displays the same message and flickers.
How can I fix this? my DVI-D cable works just fine delivering 144hz on my old pc.
Thank you in advance for any help offered.

You need a better adapter. The Apple one is not very good. Just make sure the adapter has USB for power because the ones that don't are single-link.

The adapter does have USB for power,as I said, it's an active one, and also uses dual link. it's rated for 2560x1600.

I know, like I said, Apple's adapter is not very good. Pretty much any other dual-link adapter won't have issues with higher refresh rates.

RTX supports Display Stream Compression with DisplayPort 1.4 which can triple effective bandwidth, but that doesn't matter since the lg display does not support DisplayPort 1.4 or DSC. Nvidia Pascal cards support DisplayPort 1.4 but do not support DSC. On the AMD side, Navi cards support DSC but earlier cards do not.

At least one user over on AVS Forum is reporting having trouble getting Windows to show refresh rates with a pixel clock greater than 600 on a GTX 1080Ti; any insight into the issue?:

Quote:According to CRU, max pixel clock is 1190. Just when I add a custom resolution above 600 pixel clock, it won't be available in Windows, whereas anything below 600 shows. For reference, the first pic displays the custom 90Hz resolution I'm adding in the extension block field. Also adding a custom 55Hz res (pic 2). After hitting restart64.exe, only the 55Hz res shows in Windows (pic 3).

Also, can I just say "holy bananas" at a mere 10KB limit for avatars - I was looking to update my avatar from my current (which I've not updated since I've registered) and that 10KB limit is kind of nuts even for mobile internet let alone home internet connections. I had to shrink my updated avatar down to 61x57 and then compress the absolute snot out of it (zopfli @ 500 iterations + a run through "PNGGauntlet") just to fit under the 10KB limit without losing the alpha transparency.

For reference the dolphin-emu.org forum also runs on MyBB and has the same 100x100 avatar dimensions limit but instead has a maximum file size limit of 100KB.

HDMI 2.0 is limited to 600 MHz.

10 kB is the default. I've changed it to 100.

Thank you for bumping up the avatar file size limit.

Well then how are people outputting 120Hz 4k with 8bit 4:2:0 over HDMI 2.0? Surely that uses more than 600 MHz (and it obviously fits bandwidth-wise as it's the same bandwidth as 60Hz 4k with 8bit 4:4:4).

To clarify, people aren't adding such a mode via CRU, rather several 4k displays on the market already support that out-of-the-box through their stock EDID. So are you basically saying that, despite such a mode being physically possible and already present in shipping products, CRU simply cannot create such a mode?
