My roomate is running a Xentor MaxiGamer 32 with the Latest Nvidia drivers (12.04.00)

His monitor supports a maximum refresh rate of 99 Hz @ 1280x1024 -- and he'd like to be able to set the refresh rate in the 95-99 Hz range. Unfortunately, Win2K only gives him pre-canned default limits of 85, 100 and 120 Hz. In NT 4.0, on the other hand, it was possible to manually adjust the adapter's refresh rate in +1 increments (or in -1 decrements). Is there, then, a way to specify a custom refresh value in Windows 2000? perhaps some third party software?

Thanks a lot!

not sure, but cant you specify to show all modes instead of hiding the ones that wont work?

that may unlock those increments.. dunno though

Why not just go for the 100 setting? I dont think 1mhz OC will cut your monitor life By more than a few hours overall.;)I've had my 85max upto 120 and no problems,I couldnt find an excuse to keep it there either.
