actually the monitors you mentioned support just 65 Hz at that res. try setting anything above that and you have a Hz with a question mark floating on your screen.Originally Posted by Chaos

Thats 1280x1024, I'm talking about 1280x960 - the proper 4:3 resolution. I can bet a thousand bucks that it supports 1280x960@72.Originally Posted by abhay

oh just curious...
does your refresh rate depend on the drivers for your graphics cards
i remember when i had bought the nvidia geforce 4 mx440se.. i couldn`t get a refresh rate of over 800*600*32*60hz ... and it was the same for 1200*768*32*60hz...
this was when my drivers were lower than 5*.** .. but after i did install higher drivers esp 53.03.. i could get a refresh rate of 800*600*32*72.. not more than that...
and after i got the 57.xx drivers... my refrsh rate was 75HZ.. oh the refresh rate all this while for 12*768 remains at 60hz only..
and oh my monitor is 13`
so does software affect your refresh rate??
well.. not actually.... it just shows all the refresh rate that are avialable with that card... if u apply a refresh rate that is not supported by ur monitor, u'll screw ur monitor to avoid this, select that option/checkbox stating "do not display the rates that this monitor does not support"

Will it screw up my monitor? I am looking at 90-100Hz refresh rate, I am ready to run the game at 640*480 but dont want to run the Desktop at that resolution, means browsing and other things suck at that resolution, tell me a way in which I can use my desktop at 1024*768 @ 70Hz and the game shud run at 100Hz whatever resolution, I dont want the pain of manually setting the desktop resolution to 640*480 everytime I wanna playyou have an ati card so u can force the refresh rate to whichever you want in the ati control panel
no point for such a high refresh rate eh ? games will look crappy at such a low resolution .. u have a 9800 pro so have fun at a higher resolution .for refresh rate i feel that 70Hz is more than enoughOriginally Posted by linuxaholic
anyways i thought that if you set the resolution in game (to say 640*480) once you quit your desktop will resize back to what it was before you started the game right ?
anyways i think for you a tool to force the refresh rate will be better, i remember using a program once where you can set the refresh rate for each resolution like 100Hz for 640*480 , 85 for 1024*768 and whenever that resolution was selected that particular refresh rate would get chosen.
dont remember the name of the utility though
anyways i think theres a option in direct x where you can force the refresh rate while gaming alone. run dxdiag and in the last tab (help) theres an override button where u can specify the refresh rate and that will get chosen while playing any dx games
now u can leave the desktop resolution as and set the game resolution in game
Well some modes are undocumented. They exist but are not in supported list. For example the Samsung 997DF lists 1920x1440 as the highest resolution, but it can actually do 2048x1536. Even if you change it to an unsupported rate, it'll never screw up a relatively modern monitor. It'll just display the horizontal sync/vertical sync out of range error message. Older monitors can get screwed BTW. I never keep that checkbox enabled for this reason.Originally Posted by Rave

I hav an Msi Fx5200 128 mb ddr gfx...when installing drivers 4 the first time the screen refresh rate defaults at 60 hz...i use 800x600 resolution...its more than enough for me...shud i increase the refresh rate...wot is the correct setting?
One more thing..if i increase refresh rate will it affect my gfx card?
I've Samtron 15" 55V as well... Are u sure these settings won't damage the monitor?hey linuxaholic,

Nope, no problem at all, been running it at 1024x768@75Hz all the time, for more than a year now....haven't had any problem...Originally Posted by QuickFire
You can actually feel the difference right on your desktop, its more pleasing to the eye....

My monitor was detected as Samsung Syncmaster 550V in Win XP while actually its Samsung Samtron 55V..
Anyways, I forced the refresh rate to upto 75Hz @ 1024x768 pixels...hope it won't screw my monitor...
man it sucks for me, my moniter can only support at much as 1280x700 at 60, at 70 it needs a max of 960x600, if i set anything more than that i get at out of frequency error on my moniter
currently i'm running at 1280x700 at 60. is it bad for health ?
btw i have LG Studioworks 563n on gf mx4000
Don't go less than 70 Hertz. Otherwise it will hurt your eyes. No point damaging your eyes for higher resolution!!
I have a Syncmaster 763 MB and it supports 1024X768 at 85 Hertz. I use the Catalyst override function to force my monitor to 85 Hertz even for games.
