We Live For The One We Die For The One

Ive got it set at 85htz but its like its at 60htz ??

Can the card override your settings ???


Also i can not get over 85 hertz on ANY resolution /???

Even 800 by 600, and my old card could do atleast 120htz..


The monitor is just a plug and play and has no drivers, its a packard
bell 19 incher.

Shitty yes, going to get a flat screen decent one Sony,ect.


But want to fix this problem but not sure what the problem is ?

is their a way to know what Hertz the Monitor is at ?

Thanks.

Your monitor driver. The plug and play driver errs on the side of
caution so you don't blow up the monitor.
 
Is their a way to see what hertz my monitor is running at ?>>

Windows says 85hertz is it always right ?

I changed back to my orig card and the screen is still making me sick
?

Like bac in the good old days of Doom, I chucked playing but still
played it :)

Thanks.

Usually the monitor is the last word - most current ones will display the
refresh rate.

No, it often lies. Especially with ATI cards.

Try downloading a program called "Reforce". It'll adjust your monitor
profile so that the *minimum* supported refresh rate is the one you want to
run with - that way Windows has no choice but to run 85Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, etc.

ATI Radeon cards have problems with some monitors. The refresh rate
stays at 60hz even though its set at a higher value in Display
Properties.

You can fix this in the registry by changing the value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
Software\ATI
Technologies\Driver\0002\DAL\IDCRegOptionDontUseOSMonitorInfo
from 01 00 00 00 to 00 00 00 00.

The 0002 key may be a different number on your machine.

When I tried that fix a year ago it didn't do anything for my system (and
incidentally that's not close to the right registry location for a lot of
installations).

Reforce is a great little utility and can be found here:
