samsung 955df? 1280 by 960 res?

[dolph]

i have the 955df and a radeon 8500 on winxp pro, and i'm trying it out at 1280x960. it looks ok, but it says it's at a really low refresh (60hz). comparing 1280x960 @ 60hz and 1280x1024 @ 60 hz, i can tell that when it's 1280x960 it's definitely not at 60hz. what's the highest refresh this monitor can handle at 1280x960? i couldn't find anything online to suggest it's any higher, but i can see it with my own eyes. second question: when i try to run it at 1280x1024, it can only go up to 75hz. anandtech has got it up to 80hz. latest drivers don't seem to do help. does anyone know what's going on with my display? tia.

I don't even have 1280x960 as an option in my display properties...
How did you get it to run at that rez... powerstrip?

nope, i couldn't do it through powerstrip. i had to use rage3d tweak

 

[Doh!]

Is the monitor set as Samsung 955df or Default Monitor? Make sure it's set as Samsung 955df.
