Ophiel X Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) i've never heard of this setting before, but my guess is that it exists for monitor compatibility issues.i.e. to prevent unsupported rates you could lock it @ 60 or 70 hzedit: also a word of caution: if there is no hardware check on this setting you can probably permanently damage your monitor by using a wrong setting.

EchoNoise Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Now thats a stupid answer.The override function is for monitors that have an irregular refresh rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Isn't that only for Directdraw? Because most games use Direct3D?Most of my games (funnily) use OpenGl so I am a n00b at DirectX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
