KYRO II and refresh rates?

[prevailing]

when I set my display properties to anything and click apply in windows 2000 it automatically sets my refresh to 60hz, I was looking for more than 75 to 85 hz.. seems this was a similar problem to my hercules GE Force 2 card.. I had to download some program to correct the refresh rates. Is there a similar program for the kyro card?

I have the Kyro2 and run Win98 SE. I've had no problem with refresh rates in the range you specified. Do you have the correct monitor selected?

maybe he doesn't have the latest drivers for his monitor...
but even when everything is ok with windows your games could resort to the optimal refresh rate defined on the registry... that could be lower than what your monitor could get...



but I have a 2 solutions/options for you:

1. the hard one:
go to your regedit (in your windows directory, you have wiindows 2000 so it is inside winnt)

->powervr->kyro->modes-> (here you will se 4 directories)

16,24,32,8
this are the setting for 16,24,32,8 bit colour

an example you choose (32) and then (1024,768)
change the string "optimalrate" to what ever refresh rate you want
mine was at 75 I put then 100 ... (for 100 hz)

this only saves the optimal refresh rate for 1024x768x32 for others resolutions you have to do it manually
