Low refresh rate in Counter Strike 1.6


Recommended Posts

I have a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and any time I play a Steam game the refresh rate is locked at 60hz! Even when I put it at 1280x1024, at which resolution my monitor displays at a max of 85hz. How can I MAKE the game use the optimal refresh rate? I can't change it in the video options... This only happens in Steam games, also. Must be something about the Half-Life engine?

I need help on this, it gives me a headache to play CS now, and it isn't because I suck (which I do)!

Go to your Display Properties -> Click on the Settings Tab -> Advanced -> On the ATi Panels you 'should' see a Displays tab with your incoming and outgoing connections, TV, Monitor, ect... Click on your Primary monitor. You'll see a drop down menu on the right bottom part that allows you to "Over-ride Refresh Rate" Select the refresh rate you want and you should be all set. I tried to use Reforce to change it and it still wouldn't work in Counter-Strike but this built in tool changed it and it works great. Good luck! (Sorry I didn't know the final few button steps but you should still be able to find it, I'm at work and don't have an ATi card on this computer)
