Monitor locked at 60hz, Skuzzy please look, ( big pics ) inside

[SunKing]

I have multires running.
I just did a fresh reformat. Running the current omega drivers and have installed my monitor inf files correctly. I simply want to unlock the 60hz refresh rate to allow 85mz which my monitor will do in the two resolutions I play in and run my desktop in.

1280 x 1024
and
1024x768

So I've tried Multires and reforce.
I set my resolutions to 85hz.
I've even disabled "dcc" in display settings and still my games max at 60hz. Any ides on how to get this to work.

One msg that comes up when I run RefreshForce is windows reports that a "default monitor" is active.

Not sure what that can be doing but In display settings I shows my correct monitor name and plug n play monitor below that.
any ideas on how to get this working?

I wish I could help, but I cant. I just had to ask? Where did you get that backround from?

Try this.

Click "run" on your start menu, open "dxdiag", click the "more help" tab and the "override" button. Set the value to 85.

Overlooked setting (you never know), have you set frame rates in the game to unlimited?

i have noticed with the new Radeon drivers, if u turn
on AA or AF it automaticly locks fps to refresh rate.

Hmm that sounds like something I need to test..

So would that be an issue with the drivers that need correction or something in the AH2 code?


KEv .. ya I've set the game to unlimited.

You need to change the Direct X refresh rate by running dxdiag.  FLS has posted this above as well.

[SunKing]

I have.. still stuck at 60.

[Skuzzy]

I have never had this issue before.  I do run the stock ATI drivers.

Sunking...FYI...if you hold down the alt key when you print screen you only get the foreground window rather than the whole desktop, nice wallpaper though

Originally I responded to the title of your post rather than the contents. On second look I notice from your screenshots that your monitor refresh is 85. Your monitor isn't locked at 60. Apparently 60 is your FPS in AH2. Try a lower resolution to see if your FPS improves. It may simply be that 60 is your max framerate at your current settings.

Notice how the window is placed letting you see the desktop at all times!? All this was just to show off the desktop!! DUHHrrrr!!!

But if I set the game to run at unlimited and all settings to allow 85. Shouldn't it run at 85 in game if the game settings allow?

[FLS]

It seems you're confusing monitor refresh rate with the game's framerate. If you want a higher framerate set AH2 to a lower screen resolution.
