How can I overclock my monitor to 80hz?

ng flag

Still learning linux. Yes, my monitor supports 80hz, tested and confirmed on Windows.

So here's what I've tried to far.

  1. cvt 1920 1080 80 + --newmode + --addmode in xrandr which resulted in
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  18 (RRAddOutputMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  41
  Current serial number in output stream:  42
  1. The good ol' EDID trick which doesn't work anymore. Results in a blank kernel cmd line. The moment I revert changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in root shell recovery mode everything boots normally.
  2. Editing ViewPortIn in NVIDIA X Server Settings which results in my additions to it being deleted. I tried entering 1920x1080_80.00 and 1920x1080_80 which both get deleted before I can hit apply.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Yes, that's the first thing I tried which didn't work. I left out the `cvt` part, my bad.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
