Refresh rates W98se

[Guest]

Hi, new 9800 pro owner here

Love the card but, I am having problems with refresh rates on a non-DCC
monitor.
Have tried Powerstrip which seems to work with OGL games but still have
problems with D3D. 60hz kills my eyes !!

It seems that this has been fixed in Cat 3.7 drivers for XP/W2k only!
I think I read somewhere that this is new problem in drivers... does anyone
know which older drivers do not have this 'issue'?

Anyone?

Cheers

D4D / OpenGL always tends to run at 60Hz... make sure you have the correct
monitor driver installed and use ReForce.

Thanks Ben

I did have the proper monitor inf file installed Optiquest V115
Happily, I've managed to get everything working fine now by using
Powerstrip and setting each refresh rate manually. Desktop is good, D3D is
good, OGL is good

Thanks again for the response.

Yep... powerstrip is good for that too.
