Any way to set the refreshrate for OpenGL in w2k for Radeon?

[Rellik]

Q3 and all other Open GL titles are at 60hz.

In UT, i added a refreshrate hack to the ini so it is at 85 hz now. any way to do this for all openGL titles?

Radeon/w2k users please respond....

Have you gone through your desktop setting refresh rates at both 16 and 32 bit colours? Normally these will set the game refresh. Otherwise, it's a bug definitely.

Yes. I have gone through the desktop settings. But these are not responsible for OpenGL gaming. In w2k, OpenGL and D3D are forced to 60 hz by the OS. D3D is no issue since you can override this with dxdiag.
But in OpenGL it is still an issue if the game has no chance of ini or reg tweaking.

So, anyone else kknow a registry tweak to solve this?

bump...cause i´m sure i am not the only one with this problem....

check out this thread. The registry change worked for me.

thx for the link. But this reg path leads to the 1600/1200 setting.
And I can´t seem to find the others. The q3 command discussed does´t
work either. the game accepts it, but does change nothing when restartet...

come on Ati.....there got to be a way...

Did you do what FarENheiT suggested. I did and and modified the 48.0-160.0 to 85.0-160. Now when I run an OpenGL game at 1024x768, I get an 85Hz refresh rate.

Which version of the driver are you using?

I have the 3100 w2k special purpose drivers.

I haven´t tried the reg hack yet. I found a command for q3. so now it´s only oni to take care of.. But I will try that hack....
