ATI Radeon undocumented bug- Can't use Radeon with with CRT's.
My Sept 2010 experience with an ATI Radeon card.
After installing the HIS 8550 Radeon in my new system a few days ago I found out that there is no way to change the crt refresh rate. Radeon is locked at 60 hz. It is made for LCD's. Period. So, today I took the 8550 back and got a evga nvidia gtx 470. I can set refresh to just about anything and won't have to buy a new monitor.

That is a very old card.
Did you install the ATI drivers 6.11 from their web site? They only have them for up to XP 32 bit. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

Oops... I transposed the numbers. Meant to say HIS 5850, Turbo iCooler. I got the latest drivers for that gpu from the ATI website. Still did not work. According to the overclocking forums there is a work around that may work with XP: down load two programs to build my own *.inf files. Did not think it was worth the effort though.

I got the latest drivers for that gpu from the ATI website. Still did not work. According to the overclocking forums there is a work around that may work with XP: I have found that for XP the drivers after 10.4 are no good. I can't adjust any AVIVO Video anything. So possibly other things are wrong. At least my 4670 does connect with the new 10.1 Flash Player in Win 7 (not XP) and lets me enhance it a whole lot. I tried a geforce GT 240 and couldn't get it to connect with Flash in XP, nor in Win 7. The Win 7 ATI drivers have some anomalies with the AVIVO settings, though. But I work around those. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

I might add that in the ATI drivers I can create profiles for AVIVO settings that I can select from the tray icon. When I was trying the geforce with the latest drivers, it wouldn't save my Video settings in a profile when I selected "Overlay". I couldn't save a profile while in the Video settings. And forget about choosing a profile from the tray icon -- though the old drivers had that. I really think that the control panel teams of ATI and nvidia do not use them at home. They are so sloppy. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

What video did you use before the 5850? And are the drivers for the old video still installed? Have you installed your chipset drivers? I know none of this makes a difference now because you don't even have the card anymore, but I'm sure there are many people out there who are successfully using the 5850 with a CRT, as I was until my newest LCD monitor. Your subject line is ridiculous.

ATI Radeon undocumented bug- Can't use Radeon with with CRT's.
The 60Hz annoyance has plagued ATi drivers for almost 10 years. Apparently
it's tied to WHQL certification. Use this little program: http://www.pagehosting.co.uk/rf/ Being "made for LCDs" isn't that big a drawback nowdays, since it's impossible to find consumer-grade CRTs anymore. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I'm wondering if installing/not installing the monitor driver from the
monitor manufacturer could make a difference? -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.
