How can i tell what refresh rate my monitor is using??

[NotoriousJTC]

When i check the "properties" all i see is that it is using the "optimal" refresh rate......But what exactly is it?

My monitor is a Viewsonic G73f. This is what it says on thier website about my max refresh rate: 1024 x 768 @ 105Hz (http://www.viewsonic.com/products/crt_g73f.cfm#features)

How can i make sure it's set at the rate i want it at?

system specs:

AMD K7 Duron 700Mhz w/ heatsink and fan
Abit KT7 VIA KT133 6PCI/1ISA/1AGP4x/3DIMM Socket A ATX & UDMA/66
256MB PC133 SDRAM
Toshiba 40x16x DVD ROM drive
Sony 8x4x32 IDE CD Writer
Maxtor 20.0GB HD 7200rpm 2MB (Ultra ATA-100)
Maxtor 60.0GB HD 7200rpm 2MB (Ultra ATA-100)
Asus v7100 Pure GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP Retail
Creative SB Live Value w/ digital output

download powerstrip - it should be able to tell you your refresh rate

I thought that thing was only good for OCing the vid card? Eh ill check it out thanks. But will it allow me to adjust my refresh rate as well? The only options i have to choose from were "60hz" and "optimal". Thanks

Make sure you have the appropriate driver for the monitor and not just default monitor. Go to display properties - settings - advanced - monitor. Look at monitor type and if default load the correct drivers. In monitor settings should get the listing of refresh rates the monitor supports.
