AIDA64 say my monitor can do 70Hz ...

[DigDog]

but i don't believe it;

or, at least, my Windows7 doesn't believe it, nor does my NVidia control panel.

Here is a screenshot of AIDA64 (new software from Guru3D, used to be Everest):

if this was true, then my monitor could do 70Hz at its native resolution; unfortunately it's a Hannstar, and information on it is scarce beyond belief .. so i can't get a confirmation anywhere.

So ...

is this software reliable? If i force (somehow, i haven't really looked into how to do that) my rate at 70Hz, do i risk blowing up my monitor?

I know 70Hz isn't a great improvement over 60Hz, but i'm hoping to squeeze a bit more juice out of this here crappy monitor ... :/

It want damage it, but if you any problems are noticeable, then switch it back to default right away. A 10 hz increase isnt going to do much for input lag though. If I'm not mistaken... it wont even reduce vsync lag to less than 14ms, whereas 120hz input reduces it to 8.33 ms.

on an LCD I don't think it makes any difference.
