I just got my GF3 ti 200, and after removing all my old vid card drivers, installed with nvidias detonater drivers 23.11. Anway, I know about the refresh rate problem under Windows XP with nvidia cards where it sets the refresh to 60 hz anytime you enter a 3d application. It happened with my old vid card and d/led the 3rd party fix. The problem is that it knocked close to 300 points off my 3dmark score. So i installed the new card after removing the refresh rate fix, all old drivers and everything and did a little benchmarking. For a while, the refresh rate was working fine, 100 hz no matter what I was doing. Then about the 5th time or so I ran 3dmark 2001, it dropped my refresh rate to 60 hz and started doing it everytime after that. I tried removing and reinstalling my vid card drivers but to no avail. Finally, I installed the refresh rate fix, which fixed the problem but as before, dropped my 3dmark score a bit. I know this is pretty long post for nitpicking, but i was wondering if there is a fix/workaround for this problem that doesn't degrade my performance at all. Thank you for anyone you read this thing.

The best solution is to use Riva Tuner and use the built-in 60 Hz refresh fix.
