Default Automatically select the highest refresh rate?

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 '****'.
