Any Radeon Users know how to fix the refresh rate during games in win2k?

[tigger80]

I tried running a Radeon 64MB Vivo last week in win2k but stupid win2k bug makes all games i play at 60mhz. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

This issue (the 60Hz rate in 3d apps) is a general w2k issue. It is not a Radeon issue. Voodoo and Nvidia cards have the problem too.

For D3D games, run the dxdiag.exe and in the last tab(the one on the right) you will find that u can put on override value there (85 for example) and then D3D is fixed. OpenGL is trickier. If you run UT in OpenGL with S3TC (which u should) then simply put RefreshRate=85 in your unrealtournament.ini under the opengl preferences.

For Q3, there is a command too. it only worked after a reboot, but it works. I have a thread going about this issue, so do a search in these forums...

yea i know its a win2k issue but NVidia has a fix for it by some independent. I'm just wondering if there is a such a thing for Radeon
