Well, my new system runs great (specs in the 'RedEye' link in my sig), and all the games/benchmarks that i've tried so far, even with no OC'ing yet, are leaps and bounds faster than they used to be, but i'm stuck @ 60Hz (or a really fuzzy, off-kilter 85Hz), and I really have no idea why.
It's not my monitor's capabilities (I had it running at 200Mhz @ 1280x960 or 100Mhz @ 1600x1200 before), and I really doubt it's the video card (eVGA 7900GT KO), but to be honest, I only have the most rudimentary knowledge of refresh rates, so i'd appreciate if anybody could render any advice on the situation.
As was stated above, i'm using a VGA>DVI converter to connect my monitor, and that was really the only thing that I could think of that might be causing this problem. My native resolution in XP is 1280x960, because it seems to fit my monitor best.
When I try to change the refresh rate, the monitor goes black and displays the following in it's little default menu font :
Out of Range
H : 31Hz - 95Hz
V : 50Hz - 120Hz
Check PC Settings?
Thanks in advance for any help. To me, on this CRT (Sceptre P98V 19"), anything lower than 100Hz and it looks to me like the monitor is flickering slightly, and though it doesn't bother me much asthetically, it tends to give me some nasty headaches.
