| | Refresh Rate in Windows Vista doesnt hold in games? HL2 CS:S no wo CPU Specs: Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz 2 Gig DDR2 RAM Geforce 8600 GTS with latest nvidia drivers Windows Vista Home Premium I can't override refresh rates in Vista for playing games (I.E. Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six, etc). They need to be ran at a 100hertz refresh rate inside the game, but vista is making them stick to 60hertz (unless the game is like battlefield 2 where you pick your refresh rate within the game). Refresh Lock doesnt work with vista Refresh Force doesnt work with vista Is there a fix for this? Also, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and CS:Source both wont launch when i click them through steam, the error is.. NOTE: Half-Life 2 single player works..

Just a general DirectX override would be useful. In the past there were 3rd party tools available for nvidia cards to force refresh rates, and an appropriate setting is available for ATI's cards. Does nvidia not support DirectX rate overrides at all ? --------------------------------- I'm sorry but NVIDIA does not provide user defined settings for DirectX or OpenGL refresh rate overrides at all. Best regards, NVIDIA --------------------------------- ...and I thought ATI's driver were bad, but compre to this... |

| | Re: Refresh Rate in Windows Vista doesnt hold in games? HL2 CS:S no wo You don't say what screen you have, this matters a lot as regards achievable refresh rates. If you've got an LCD screen it'll probably only work at 60Hz refresh. I've never personally seen an LCD that will run at 100Hz. If you have a CRT monitor it should work at various refresh rates though Peter Lawton "brinkk" <brinkk@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:03CA2628-5110-4424-86F9-BBF440F7EEE7@xxxxxx Quote: > CPU Specs: > Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz > 2 Gig DDR2 RAM > Geforce 8600 GTS with latest nvidia drivers > Windows Vista Home Premium > > I can't override refresh rates in Vista for playing games (I.E. > Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six, etc).

| | Re: Refresh Rate in Windows Vista doesnt hold in games? HL2 CS:S n I have a ViewSonic P95f+ 19" flat CRT. My monitor worked fine on Windows XP as far as refresh rates, it would hold the desktop's refresh rate when i entered the game. Now the only way to achieve a higher refresh rate in a game, is if the game has an option. (ex. Battlefield 2 i run 1600x1200 @ 85hz.) Older games dont have a in-game option so i need a program like "Refresh Force" that works with windows vista..
