*RESOLVED* ATi 60Hz Refresh Fix XP

[JustAnAverageGuy]

Monitor 1 - Dell 2001FP (20.1" LCD)
Monitor 2 - Nokia 445Xpro (21" CRT)
Vid Card - Radeon 9800 Pro
OS - XP Pro

I'm looking for a program, registry edit, driver option, patch, etc that will allow me to force a refresh rate of 85-100hz (@ bootup) by default for the CRT, but leave the LCD unaffected.

Basically, a fix for the 60hz bug that affects only one monitor.

The CRT flickers horribly at anything below 85, but the LCD doesn't support refresh rates above that.

All the programs I've found so far affect both monitors or only the first.

Bump for answer. 🙂

The monitors cannot be set individually? What do you mean "the bug"? Perhaps there is a limitation whereby the CRT must be Primary so it will not drop to 60 to match the FPD? You may want to check rage3d forums or email ATI directly.

The bug is that the monitor automatically resets to 60hz every time the computer boots up.

The monitor is capable of up to 120Hz and is correcly detected in Windows as what it is.

Driver = ATi 4.11

Turn off DDC in the driver control panel and use Refresh Force to manually set each display to the correct refresh rate.

This appears to have solved my problem.

Glad to see you got it working but since a workaround type thing was necessary it should be
reported to ATI.
