anything above 75 is good, the higher the better

75Hz is considered optimal. Anything above that is just that much better, of course.

Us geeks tend to go fr 85Hz or better, though.

If you use CRT monitor - anything above 85. For LCD monitor you are locked in 60Mhz

i prefer 85 on CRTs

I use 100 Hz (1280x1024) on my 22" Samsung. That way I don't get any interference when the TV next to it is turned on.

I do 100 whenever I can. 85 just doesn't cut it for me, I can notice the flicker and it gives me headaches.

as high as you can go with your monitor. theres no sweet spot. only hardware limitation

I used to be 65Hz vs. 85Hz but since I got a 9800 pro I'm able to go to 100Hz. I seriously don't notice a difference between any of them. (don't wear glasses)

85 hz is good; anything less bothers me.

 

[cronos]

i got used to 75 hz.

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

at least 90

75hz + for me... if it's set at 60hz, my eyes bug out because I can see the scanning.

ditto. but dont put it up to much...it might mess up the monitor. i suggest start at 70Hz and go up in steps...and stop at the highest refresh rate your monitor will still display

Anybody have suggestions on a good affordable vidcard that can do 1600x1200 at 85h or above? My monitor can handle it but my 128mb GeForce3 Ti200 can't 🙁
