59Hz

[johngalt]

Hmm nothing corresponds to 59, and since it does it regardless of whether you're using the tweak or not it really doesn't matter.

Honestly, I am stuck....

 

[Zodduska]

Yeah, me too! Hopefully some more people will come around with this problem and maybe we can figure out what the common theme seems to be. Thanks for trying to help.

After all this is a Beta OS it will probably end up being fixed in the end.. honestly I can't even tell a difference between 59Hz and 60Hz, but it just bugs me, Win 7 is looking great so far this is the biggest issue I've ran into.. all my games work great, better than they did in Vista.

sadly i have the same problem.

I'll try to do those fixes that John suggested though and then I'll report back.

I'm even considering reinstall windows 7.

I've asked in other forum people with the same hardware as me (vga and monitor) if they had the problem and they said no... with the WHQL drivers.

strange

I have the same problem on both 32bit and 64bit but I think I can live with it, I mean it's 1Hz, hardly a major issue IMO.

Graphics Card Inno3D GeForce GTX260 216 SP

 

[NuNeX]

ye but the hell is causing the problem?

maybe the EDID in the monitor?

 

[hethoofd]

I'm having the exact same thing (different video card, though). I don't really care about the 1Hz, but it is quite odd...

Seems like a HD issue as NTSC isn't actually 60i, it is 59.94 so maybe they're not rounding up?

 

[NuNeX]

I've used a tool named DirectRefresh and it worked, it now locks on 60hz.

I can't tell no difference but I'm happier now

Thanks for the workaround NuNeX! I'll try it when I get home.

Can the rest of you with the same problem please list your Video Card, Connection Type and Monitor so we can figure out what might be causing the problem?

Brand new install of windows 7 and am also stuck at 59HZ using DVI!
SyncMaster T240 24"

 

[Mindstorm]

I also have this "problem" and I'm using a ATI 4870x2

 

[fierce]

Same issue with 4870 w/ 22" monitor via DVI connection

 

[johngalt]

Interestingly enough, with my setup, I *too* am having the same issue.

But, for me, IDGAF b/c 59 works just fine on my monitors.

My problem is even worse, when i use the win7 "screen resolution" in the right click desktop menu, i CANNOT change the refresh to anything other than 30hz! If i do, it just changes back or doesn't change at all, no matter if i change even the resolution. Installing the Nvidia driver from the update helped, and using DXdiag my display IS at 60hz now.. yet only using 1280x720 because the monitor cannot use 30hz in this mode using NVcp. When in 1920x1080, it automatically reverts to 30hz..

I'm using a 7500LE (OEM) with a 1080p HDTV. Not sure where i would get the actual edid timings from..

Same 59Hz problem here. Dell 24" LCD and PALiT GeForce 9600 GT.

From the HDTV. Ask it just like your 7500LE does: EnTech Taiwan | Utilities | Monitor Asset Manager

Free and safe and indispensable for working out these issues with DVI/HDMI. Save the report and post it please. If everyone else did the same we could find the root cause here.

Same problem here, using a Nvidia 8800gt, driver version 181.22 WHQL and monitor Samsung Syncmaster 225bw.

 

[mechtild]

Same problem
2 x 8800GT,
iiyama 26" DVI connection

i also have the problem with the disappearing taskbar icons, when i change the frequenzy to 60hz and press ok, the icons reappear, but the resolution stays at 59
also no override with ntune possible

I'm thinking it's a display issue in the Control Panel. In a game my framerate (with vsync on) is 60.0 ... should be OK.

My Viewsonic VX2240W is being forced to 59hz too. I have Geforce 7600GS AGP and 179.23 drivers supplied by Windows Update. It's advertised frequency is 60hz.
The option to use 60hz is there however it wont keep that setting.

When I boot into Vista I see that the 60hz option is the one selected. Same card, driver 178.24. Must be an nVidia issue.
