How can I keep it always at 75hz? ATI removed the refresh rate override feature in windows vista. I tried apps such as ReForce and others but they dont help I have tried rivatuner override and custom monitor driver, no dice. The overrides dont do anything i tried all 3 modes , and the custom driver won't let me go higher than i already get in games 60 or 85hz.
I dumped vista and got the eval copy of XP x64, it's FW driver actually has all the best refresh rates by default, would it help if i loaded it in Vista?
I dont know which file it is, i would reinstall Vista and try. Anyone have an idea, this is the only thing keeping from using Vista fulltime. Thanks a lot for all that information, but alas I need the Refresh Rates to stick specifically for games.
I contacted Microsoft about that but they said that technical details concerning Vista and Refresh Rates are already answered at their web-site's knowledge base, which I visited more than an hundred times no exaggeration , trying to find out more about it, but all I found was instructions on how to set custom resolutions and refresh rates for the Desktop duh!

It did that with Windows XP, when I switched to it from , it took around a year or so but eventually I started to praise XP, which I kept bashing on when I had SynthDude Lifer.

I can't remember. I do believe you, believe me hehe, and I am very excited at the moment BUT I'd like to see more comments from similar cases I.
E from people using Vista with a CRT monitor having issues concerning refresh rates while playing games. Sep 15, 1, 5 Originally posted by: kheldorin I know this won't be of much help but I'll post it anyway. I play all my games at a minimum of 85Hz, usually 95Hz, and a few at Hz. I cannot stand anything below 85Hz, and even the games I do play at 85Hz aren't games I'll play for too long because I still notice some flicker at that refresh rate.
