GP4 and refresh rates

by :-\) » Sat, 06 Jul 2002 22:22:13

Is anyone using GP4 with 3d glasses?

I am finding that the refresh rate drops to 60hz whenever I run GP4 despite
it being set to 120 in windows.

All other games work at 120 so I am a bit baffled.

Any help please?

This is a known problem in Win2K and XP.

If you are running D3D, you can fix it using DXDiag.  Go Start/Run DXDIAG.
Then go to the More Help tab.  Then use the Over-ride button to set it.
Make SURE you do not set it to any value higher than what you monitor can
handle, or you might damage your monitor!

If you are using OpenGL, then the only way to fix it is to use a third-party
utility.  Neither nVidia or Microsoft has seen fit to fix this ***
problem, not in 2 years.

I prefer a new utility that just came out called ReFresh Force.  It
addresses the problem in a slightly different manner and seems to be more
reliable than some of the other utilities that have come out since nvRefFix
died a while back.  It's also a "run once and forget it" utility that does
not requre it to be run all the time.  It does it's thing, then goes away.

Again, be careful that you don't set anything higher than your monitor can
handle.

You can get RefreshForce at www.guru3D.com

Did you set the stereo refresh rate for all resolutions?
