So a full set of refresh rates for all possible common movie frame rates would mean e.g. 47.952Hz (->23.976fps), 48.000Hz (->24.000fps, 48.000fps), 50.000Hz (->25.000fps, 50.000fps), 59.94Hz (->29.970fps, 59.940fps), 60.000Hz (->30.000fps, 60.000fps). Or other multiples if your monitor doesnīt accept these ones.
72Hz with no switching only works correctly for 24.000fps movies, so thatīs no option when wanting judder free playback and not using smoothmotion.
The default 60Hz are usually in reality 59.94Hz, so with your default "60 Hz" and 48 Hz you could only playback 29.970 fps, 59.940fps, 24.000fps and 48.000fps correctly.
It depends on your video material, but for all possible scenarios you would need the 5 custom refresh rates, see above.
I wouldnīt use the term "overclocking" in this context. Ok, a colcok of 72Hz is higher than the "default 60Hz", but there arenīt the same principles like overclocking e.g. a GPU or a CPU (which gives more temperature and more electrical stress on the components). A monitor accepts a given refresh rate by the computer or not. A higher refresh rate doesnīt do any harm or is dangerous. The worst thing that could happen is, that you have to do a safe boot because of getting a black screen when using a custom resolution your monitor doesnīt accept. But thatīs it. Use whatever your monitor can display correctly.
72hz and reclock works very well, I have no repeated or dropped frames for around 12 hours. Reclock likes 24 multiple refresh rates.
