Monitor swtiches to 60Hz in games?:(

[ALS]

Hi, I've got a crappy gateway monitor (cant complain too much it was free) its set to 75Hz but whenever I go into a game it automatically goes back to 60Hz (or at least thats what it says in the menu thingy)
Anyone know whats going on?
thx

do you have a setting for that resolution and color depth in windows?

You can use powerstrip to force the refresh rate for games. It works for both ati and nvidia.

powerstrip. newer drivers sometimes also have forced refresh in games in the advanced display settings tabs.

If the game uses DirectX go to RUN > DXDIAG > click on more help tab > Override > then enter the refresh rate you want to use.

This will make any DirectX game run at the specified HZ you entered.

riiiiigghhht... well moving on...

Seriously though, the newer drivers from ATI and Nvidia all have Hz override functions in them...
