How do I enable refresh rate override?

[jj2005]

Can anyone tell me how I can enable refresh rate override in my video card settings? I have a 6800GT and I can't seem to find it in my video card settings. I play alot of World of Warcraft and it keeps setting the refresh rate to the default 60 Hertz. I always have to set it to 75 Hertz each time I start the game.

Here's a screenshot of my video card settings.

Wow. Thanks!

But still didn't work. Anyone else know?

It's weird, but Nvidia has started to hide this intentionally in their 7.xxx drivers. There's a simple registry fix that will make this option visible again in the properties area you posted a screenshot of.

Do this:

Open Regedit

Browse to path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak".

Create new DWORD "NvCplDisableRefreshRatePage", value 0 (in hexadecimal).

Close Regedit.

You'll see that you can now force refresh overrides again.

Cool, thanks Slikkster! But is there any other way besides going through the Registry? I just don't like fooling around too much in there. But I will try it.

There is another way:

Open up Notepad. Copy and paste the following three lines and save it as "NVTweak.reg"



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak]

"NvCplDisableRefreshRatePage"=dword:00000000


Now, once you've copied/pasted the three lines above and saved them as NVTweak.reg, doubleclick on your new file NVTweak.reg. You'll be prompted as to whether you want to merge the data from that file into your registry. Click OK. It will tell you it's done that, and then you'll be set.
