120hz 29inch ISP 21:9 monitor?

[M8 Pls]

So I have been looking at monitors for a rig I have planned later this year. I was looking for a monitor for school work but also to watch movies and some gaming. When I was looking at the ASUS MX299Q I came across this review on newegg. Anyone have any experience with this monitor or can anyone find any truth to it? I searched on the forum and couldn't find anything sorry if I missed it.

My dad has the standard 16:9 version of that monitor in a 27" version, The Asus MX279H 27", but pretty much the same model and they are awesome.
Input lag is maybe 2-4ms depending and I overclocked mine from 59Hz to 121Hz without much fuss

Quite easy to do. I can get 85hz out of my Asus 1440P

Yep

I used the Nvidia control panel to set a custom refresh rate and kept going until it said "No signal", Put it down by 1 digit and I have it stable at 121Hz

It can if you get silly, I put my refresh rate back to 60 as I really don't need more than that but I have the profile saved if I want to tinker around

Would this kind of overclock void your monitor warranty? Also I hope I don't get in trouble for asking in here but I was originally planning on going with a xfx r9 290 dd black for my build but now im thinking if im sticking with 1080p this may be overkill. What would be a better (cheaper) card for 120fps gaming for 1080p games that aren't too taxing unlike Crysis 3.

An R9 290 isn't overkill for 1080P, Especially if you turn up AA

Not too sure about the warranty to be honest bud.
