59Hz

Been a while since I posted on this comment...

As you mentioned above, I have exactly the same problem...
Select 60, just reverts back to 59! REALLY IRRITATING!!!

I suppose we will just have to get used to it until Win 7 eventually takes over from XP (I recon a year or 2!) then, only then will this problem eventually be resolved with service pack 4 or something!

BUT, I have run into 2 other problems which I think are sort of related here, and I hope other might be experiencing it too....

Firstly, the aspect ratio thing...
I usually set the nVidia aspect ratio to "use NVIDIA scaling with fixed-aspect ratio". If I run something with a 4:3 ratio, the screen should display it as that and not stretch it.
Now, when I select this, and hit apply, it confirms the change, then just reverts back to using the monitors built in scaling?!?!?! WTF?????

Secondly, When I play games, watch a movie or basically do anything in full screen and something that is very bright comes on, the monitor blanks out for a few seconds. For example, with the new game Castle Wolfenstien. When this was released, I rushed out and bought (waiting for ages for it! Awesome game!). Now, when ever there is an explosion or something bright on the screen, and you are looking in that direction, the screen will blank out!
This is VERY irritating....

From what I have sort of worked out is that it might have something to, possibly, with DirectX and the drivers, but I am not sure...

Anybody else having this problem?

P.S. Sorry for trying to change the subject here, but these could be related somehow?!?!

Weird - sounds like a dynamic contrast setting, or something like that. Which card do you have? What is the make/model of your monitor? Plz give more info on your rig. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply omnimodis78.

I am running 2 XFX 8800GTS 512mb in SLi and I have an HP w2207 22" LCD.

Anything else you might need?

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

wow! that actually worked! Thanks!

Nope, doesn't work for me!

Tell me that 60,001 is out of range!

Can only set between 58,000 and 60,000?!?!?

Doesn't work for me either.

Same problem as Deanos.
If I type in 60.001 the apply box is greyed out.
Nvidia control panel states range is 58.000 to 60.000.

59hz was preventing my HDTV from working with VGA at 1920x1080. RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting fixed it. Virustotal says not a virus, and I grabbed it from this topic.

Amazing - it works! Easy to do too! Thanks jimmyt1988! Time for you to apply at nVidia or Microsoft, your pick...
