Post subject: Refresh rate override for Vista?

I have set the desktop refresh rate to 100Hz, but all D3D games
default to 60Hz. Are there any third party apps for forcing a higher
refresh rate when the game does not offer a rate selection in its
menus ?
The unhelpful response I got from nvidia can be found below...
---------------------------------
I am not looking for per-application settings. Just a general DirectX
override would be useful. In the past there were 3rd party tools
available for nvidia cards to force refresh rates, and an appropriate
setting is available for ATI's cards. Does nvidia not support DirectX
rate overrides at all ?
---------------------------------
I'm sorry but NVIDIA does not provide user defined settings for
DirectX or OpenGL refresh rate overrides at all.
Best regards,
NVIDIA
---------------------------------
...and I thought ATI's driver were bad, but compared to this... |

There are a couple of tools that can do that for you on XP but I don't
know about Vista. If there is such a utility then it will be here.

In XP, if you run DXDiag, in the last tab there is an option for refresh
rate override. The option may still be there for Vista.

If you are using an LCD monitor then I believe the maximum refresh rate the
screen can output is 60Hz, increasing the software to run at 100Hz will give
you no benefit.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
and
not everyone has TFT's
although
i run dual monitor with 1 TFT and 1 CRT, i can set the refresh rate fine,
winxp and not latest drivers though >> Stay informed about: Refresh rate override for Vista? |

You could use Powerstrip.According to guru3d it works with all operating
systems even with vista64.
