GeForce FX 5200 - refresh rate 60 Hz

Hello,

Even if I'm pleased with the quality, I wonder why my refresh rate is
limited to 60 Hz at the moment (brand new computer, "old" monitor). With
another graphic card (and an analog connection), I could at least use 72 Hz.
My spec:

Graphicc.: GeForce FX 5200 128 MB (latest NVIDIA 45.23 driver installed)
Monitor: Samsung 17" TFT (inf-files installed, using DVI, 1280 x 1024)
OS: WinXP SP1

I doubt that this has anything to do with the monitor drivers (the same as I
used before). Maybe this has to do with:

1. That I use digital connection, not analog as I used to do?
2. That NVIDIA:s drivers, for some reason, won't allow more than 60 Hz -
simply as that.

As I said, the ain't no problems with the picture, but I would be pleased to
know why I can't select a higher resolution (recommended setting from
Samsung is 75 Hz).

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Joachim

Hi
XP is limited to 60 Mhz refresh rate i think,
I installed Refresh Force 1.1 which allows you to choose the refresh
rate,you have run it each time you reinstall graphic card drivers.
hope this helps

Certainly not. With XP my monitor refresh rate is 85Hz.
It's clear he should look for an updated .inf-file for his monitor as
that's what he need to set higher refresh rates. The old must be obsolete.

Thanks for all the input...

To those of you that has a similiar "problem": It depends on the digital
connection; going back to analog allowed me to adjust the refresh rate just
as normal (but using digital connection gaved me a superior picture quality,
so I'll settle there after all).

The refresh rate is held back in Open GL games to 60 hertz unless you are
using a free graphics tool to overcome this, even with SP1 and Direct X 9.0
installed. However, if you have both Direct X 9.0 installed as well as SP1
this problem should go away in Windows and Direct X games except when
running Open GL games.

with TFT/LCD monitors you don't need more than 60Hz, it is not the same
scale as for CRT.

iirc, DVI is dedicated to TFT/LCD so it is no surprise ?
