59Hz

Well, perhaps somebody else will eventually come up with another quick fix or even MS or Nvidia will release a patch or something to fix it properly!

We can only wait and see what happens!

Hi

As an addition to my previous post:
The tool works as far as every program shows 60hz, including windows itself and the nvidia control panel. My monitor though still shows 59,8hz, not 59,9hz (yeah, it really is that small difference that sucks ...).
That tool also doesn't help within games. So my desktop will work now at e.g. 1024x768@60hz (I can set that refresh rate without that tool, too), incl. monitors own upscaling, but in-game (e.g. A Vampyre Story) will still run at 59hz.

That makes this tool perfectly useless for me :/

Talking about DirectRefresh? I can't help you if your monitor is giving you information, as mine doesn't. I used dxdiag to check my refresh rate, but I don't think it shows decimal places (or I've never used a fraction of a hz).

A note about the tool for anyone reading this, if you leave your cursor inside the cell you are editing, it probably won't work. Click a different cell.

I'm tired so ignore me if I'm being stupid.

that answer on post 224 worked for me! Everything says running at 60hz now. I don't know why the stupid menu option wouldn't work. But thank you thank you for that answer!

Hopefully all the other timing stuff is good staying as is, cause I didn't change any of it.

HI ALL,

THIS IS A SOLUTION FOR NVIDIA CARDS, AND IT WORKS GREAT.

After frustrating countless hours, I found a fix that works like a charmmmm.

- Go to Nvidia Control Panel
- Go to Add resolution
- Create Custom Resolution
- Click on Timing
- Click on Manual
- Set refresh rate to 60.001 Hz
- Press Apply, and Have funnnn

Thanks for this solution. It worked for me. I just hope that the final retail version of Windows 7 has it fixed. I am on build 7100 right now.

Also this post I am quoting is the post #224 that HeroGhost mention. thanks for mention it HeroGhost.

No it hasnt fixed it as Im on the box version of windows.

Firstly, this didn't work for me as the manual options won't let me set a refresh rate above 60.000Hz.

Secondly, is anyone suffering from this issue getting a kind of stuttering effect periodically when watching TV in Media Center?

Hi Shawn

Ok well I did all of that for both monitors but it won't actually select the new custom entry. If I try to select it and Apply then it comes up with the box asking if I want to keep the settings but, when I click OK, it switches back to the original one under PC with the 59Hz refresh rate
