Windows 7 refresh rate


Recommended Posts

In Vista, I don't have this problem. But in Windows 7 refresh rate is stuck at 59 hertz and this gives me lots of headaches! I get tearing in games and they're just not smooth because I cannot turn on vsync in some. But otherwise the problem doesn't affect me much. Anyway to fix this bug?

Are you still on CRTs? If not then it's because your vsync is off. Nothing to do with refresh rate. Look in your driver options to force vsync on.

LCD refresh rate is pointless:

Its not a *known* bug lol.... source?

You're really ignorant, mate. It IS a known bug! Many people have this problem and although the refresh rate in LCDs are pointless, some games have problems if 60 hertz is not used when the ****ing OSD of the monitor states 60 hertz. There's tearing and some games seem choppy. Take PES2010 for example. With 59 hertz, the Vsync cannot be enabled and the game is ****ing choppy but as soon as you try it in Vista and enable Vsync its smooth once again because Vista correctly makes your monitor's refresh rate 60 hertz.

Try D3DOverrider that comes with RivaTuner. It'll force V-Sync for PES but you have to disable the option of "Enable Frame Skipping" in PES settings for smooth gameplay.

Alright, thanks. I'll try that out. Hopefully it'll be a fix for all games or maybe I'll wait till Catalyst 9.11 come out.
