Nvidia and Refresh rate Win7

Depends on what you mean by a "120Hz LCD". Is it a 120Hz HDTV, does it have 3D features, is it a 3D display? What?
 
Most of my games run at the highest refresh possible.

For the ones that do not you can tweak in .ini settings

For everything else try RefreshLock:

I remember back in 2003; my 9800 Pro had a refresh rate override in the control panel.

Does ATI still have this feature these days? Been years since I used ATI.
 
why would he need a "refresh locker" to make it go above 60 or 75Hz? (this is what the program claims to do)?
If there really was such an arbitrary limitation it would be an UNLOCK not a lock.
AFAIK games run as fast as they can unless capped, either by vsync (which you can but shouldn't disable... or you can force on in the driver, which you should do)
or by special code in the game itself (cannot be worked around), in which case its typically capped at 30 fps (example, command and conquer generals, i think it was generals, maybe the latest tiberium sun one)

I had a game (Neverwinter Nights) get 3000 FPS (which caused capacitor sequel) without vsync.

A 3D monitor is actually just any monitor which has 120Hz+ refresh rate.
120Hz because with the shutter glasses you get an effective 60Hz for each eye. Testing revealed it to be unbearable for most people at 30Hz (60Hz monitor displaying alternate images) so they limit it to 120Hz monitors. (at which the average person gets sick in one to three hours. And a sizable minority still can't bear it)
There is absolutely nothing that the monitor is doing special or differently in 3d mode. The video card simply sends alternating perspective images of right and left eye.

If you own a 120Hz monitor that doesn't say 3D then it is simply older than the shutterglasses 3D thing nvidia.

he said 120hz LCD not monitor which could mean a tv for all we know. a tv is not the same as a true 120hz pc monitor. its funny the op gives a decent description of all his components in his sig except for the "120hz LCD", lol.

Why does everyone on this forum make everything more complicated than it needs to be?

He is running a 120Hz LCD monitor.

We are not talking about FPS cap.

Some games lock themselves to run at 60Hz. Arma II does this.

Most games will run at the refresh rate you set in Windows with the exception of a few games; like the above example.

If you cannot change the refresh rate in game, or in a ini file, RL will force all applications to run at 120Hz refresh as a last resort.

If you know a more elegant solution then please post away.

interesting, you (or rather, me) lean something new every day.

Gaming on TV LCDs is not that common, we are talking about a non TV 120Hz LCD vs a CRT

I would bet *anything* that gaming on a TV is far more common than on a true 120hz monitor.

The term 120hz has been poisoned by the industry and ignorant consumers. You are clearly not ignorant, but without more information, Toyota was completely justified in wondering if you were.
