Yes, we all know about the 60Hz problem, and how SP1 helps a lil in resolving it. (Course only works with Direct X games)

What I want to know is.. Basically the only online PC game I play (and not too often) is MOHAA. Which is an open gl game.. So that should mean I am really playing the game at 60Hz.

My question is though, how does one ever know what the refresh rate is, while you are playing a game?

I run XP Pro SP1 and my desktop is set to 100HZ.. also, whats the best or most popular refresh fixer? (I have but not installed ReForce.)

Thanks.

Depends on the monitor, if it is newer and has an OSD then usually you just bring up the OSD and it tells you the current settings.


I think that ReForce is the best fix, I have had zero problems with it.
