Can't lock refresh rate in Open GL with ATI 9500 Pro

[ingenuiti]

Hey everyone,

I just built my new computer last week and I'm having problems with my video card locking refresh rates in Open GL mode. I have a Radeon 9500 pro with Cat 3.0a and DX 9 installed. The DX override refresh rate feature in the drivers appear to work only for DX based games and not for open gl. I've already tried other programs such as reforce, rage3d 3.7, and radeonator....but none of them seem to take effect after I apply the settings. I've also reinstalled the Cat 3.0a drivers several times without any luck.

This is getting very frustrating. Do you guys have any suggestions or can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Here are my other specs:
CPU: 2.4B
Motherboard: Epox 4PEA+ - Intel 845PE Chipset
Sound: SBlive Value
Ram: 512mb
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 900IFT

I found with the Reforce app and my Radeon 9700 using Catalyst 3.0a's, you have to delete all of the other options that you do not plan on using, for example I only use 1024 x 768 resolution at 85hz. If any other options are present then the lock will not work in Open GL.

Good luck.

You have to use something like refresh force or refresh lock etc... Make sure you have your monitor drivers loaded also. I'm using refresh force with a 9500pro. refresh force

refreshforce should work regardless of video card/driver version
