Hi guys, i decided to play around with my 27EA63V today and managed to push the refresh rate from 60hz (default) to 74 without any effort. I had read that some people may notice a difference between 60/75 so i thought i'd try it out. This presented a new problem though. My 570 seems to be stuck in 3d mode whenever a custom refresh rate is used. Ive tested 61hz and 75hz, both push the card to maximum power. Is this normal? Is it possible to use a custom refresh rate without having it push the card to maximum power state?
I'd expect it to do so, although not like full 3d load. More like, a little more But then again, it's more power, and more heat, making fans spin faster etc.
Wow thanks for the replies. I actually forgot to check back after a few days as i hadnt gotten any replies yet. Ill provide as much information as i can: a) Im using the Nvidia control panel to make the custom resolutions/ refresh rate. b) I believe maximum power state is still drawing more power in idle since the temperature has increased from 37 to 50 degrees. Ideally though, without some testing equipment, i wouldn't know how else to verify this. c) I have two monitors connected to my 570. For the one im forcing 75hz on (My Main 27") i use HDMI and for my secondary i use HDMI/Mini-HDMI. d) Currently at 75hz i have these timings :
