60hz refresh only available

I've just installed a geforce fx 5600 and now i've only got one
refresh rate of 60hz! ive reinstalled my monitor drivers and the
geforce drivers and still no luck. (im using win xp sp1).

any ideas & solutions?

I want my 75hz back *sniffs* :-(

usually, 60 hertz limitation comes along with a resolution and color depth
limitation as well. can you do 1024x768 and hither and 32 bit color?

You did not say which operating system you have but I'll assume you're
working with Winodws XP which has this fault. To remedy the fault install
SP1 as well as Direct X 9.0 and then this should be resolved. There is still
one drawback, and that is if you are running Open GL games the rate will be
stuck at 60 hertz when playing the game.

This tool should help with that or fix the problem by default should you
wish not to update your operating system and Direct X 9.0:

Get NVIDIA refresh tool, XP locks it at 60FPS, its not your card ...
