Automatically select the highest refresh rate?
Somewhere on teh intarwebs Homer Jay Simpson wrote:
"Foke" wrote in message ... When I put my current system together, Nvidia didn't have anything I liked in the mid-price range so I bought an ATI 5770. It was an OK card, but I've always used Nvidia products in the past and prefer their drivers, plus the 5770 had a noisy fan. Finally the fan noise got to me, and since the reviews of the GTX 460 all said the fan was silent and that Nvidia could now output sound over the HDMI cable (instead of the sound card cable kludge), I decided to purchase one. I've been pleased with the card, but ATI had a feature that I liked and I was wondering if there was a way to achieve the same thing with my GTX460. The ATI card would automatically switch to the highest refresh rate for my monitor. My LCD monitor will support 75Hz at lower resolutions (native is 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz, but will do 75Hz @ 1280 x 1024) and with the ATI card it would automatically reset the refresh rate to 75Hz when I switched the resolution. With the Nvidia card, I have to change the resolution to 1280 x 1024, then change the refresh rate to 75Hz. Of course it automatically changes back to 60Hz when I change back to my native resolution, but it would be nice to have it automatically switch to the higher refresh rate when I lower the resolution. Any way to make that happen? Why bother? Is the image any better at the 75Hz refresh rate on an LCD monitor? I can see the 75Hz refresh rate being relevant if you were using a CRT display. Good response. My initial thought was '****'. -- Shaun. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
