All of a sudden Refresh rate won't Override

[inveterate]

just got a new monitor and now non of the refreshrates will Override. THe settings are all done under the nvidia config menu.

What monitor and which refresh rates are you trying to force?

I could never get the Nvidia refresh overrides to work in everything. A better option is to use Rivatuner a create a custom monitor driver (inf file) with the desired minimum refresh rate at each resolution.

Your new monitor may not even support the refresh rates and/or resolutions you're trying to force.

did you instal the driver for the monitor?

cuz i know my monitors flaky without the driver,.with it its perfect

what is your monitor btw?

I have been using this little program for a long time now to force refresh rate in games.

Just be carefull because if you set a refresh rate your monitor can't do you might be in trouble.

Does the video card play a part in this? I know its not the OP's situation(I think the monitor driver install may work) but I switched from Nvidia to ATI card and now can't hit as high of refresh rates as the old card could(same monitor). Is this a driver thing?

Samsung 914v LCD... I know for fact that it can do 1280x1024 @ 77hz and it can do that at all lower resolutions, because if i change the DESKTOP to a custom resolution it would immediately do so. And i know its at 77 because i check the hardware OSD and it tells me that it is running at 77. This is the limit because if i try 78 I'd start getting a message in the OSD of the monitor telling me it's not at optimal resolution "please switch to 1280x1024 - 60Hz.

I'm also trying to force refresh rate on Doom 3 because I get tearing more when it is locked at 60. THERE is a difference between higher refreshrate and lower. I remember on my CRT monitor, before the refreshrate was upped the frames were hitting 36 min, and after i changed the refresh to that monitor's max 89hz, it was hitting at lowest 48. SO, imo that is a big difference.

For those of you who might say "you can't see the diff" "Fraps says YOU CAN"
