Refresh Rate stuck...
I've just installed a Radeon 9800 Pro... and I have a little refresh rate
problem. Using the same monitor from my old machine, I previously ran the thing at 90Hz (Monitor reported it as 89Hz) in 1024x768 with an ATI Rage 128, however, with my new machine (with the radeon) whatever I set the refresh rate to be, it doesn't change. The computer acts like it had made the change, and asks if it's ok, but looking at the monitor's information menu, it's still at 60Hz. This son of a bitch is burning my eyes... can anybody help me out? I also looked at the 'force refresh rate' thing in the new catalyst control panel, but it lists a maximum of 60Hz! My monitor is a pro-view monitor, and didn't come with any drivers... I think it's just a plug and play thing. If this problem cannot be fixed easily, is there a program I can get that forces the refresh rate to be higher? Please Help! Thanks! |

First, you can get the all resolutions listed in control panel if you turn
off DCC detection in the Displays tab for your monitor. Second, you can use the program MultiRes, Google for it. "Pipex" wrote in message ...

The new CCC panel hides this pretty well.. choose the advanced view, then go to display manager, right click the monitor icon and select the device properties, you'll then see the settings you want.

Pluvious Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My eyes were about to pop, when I finally found this message. Wonder if the marketing guys at ATI ever used the CCC panel before they wrote rubbish like: "incredibly intuitive interface...". - KB |
