Yes - this is my entire point. The question I am suggesting he find out the answer to is, is his GPU capable of hitting the max refresh rate of the monitor in the games he is playing. If it's not capable of doing that, there's no point to overclocking the monitor anyway. And furthermore, he might want to change some graphical settings so that they are set to a place where the GPU actually IS capable of hitting (or at least approaching) that max refresh rate, consistently and without drops that will feel sluggish. If it turns out that he's running his games at 60-80fps on a 144hz monitor that just seems like a waste of the hardware's potential.
