XP/2000 Refresh Rate Bug Fix - ATI (Updated 3.4)
Here's a XP/2000 Refresh Rate Bug Fix for ATI's Catalyst 3.4 drivers posted by BigMak at Futuremark's forum that can be applied without 3rd party utilities! Here's a byte.
Ok guys from my experience I have been able to defeat the XP/2000 refresh rate bug with only the ATI drivers. Note that this is the bug that fools you in thinking that in windows your refresh rate is 75/85/90+ which it is, but when you launch a D3D game its defaults back to 60. You dont need refreshlock or another 3rd party utility like powerstrip to do this:
- Make sure you have the correct driver for your monitor. Most monitors are listed in the Windows 2000/XP list, or can be easily download via .inf file from the web site.
- Set a fairly decent Windows refresh rate, 85 or higher should do it, via the "monitor" tab in advanced display properties. Apply the settings and click ok.

Detonator 50.08a is uit...maar ik post hem niet ivm de volgende zaken: 1. Hij is alleen nog voor 64 bits CPU's 2. Hij is niet officieel door Nvidia released 3. Ik wil geen Nvidia rechter hier hebbe, zoals als Warp2search laatst had, omdat ze niet officieel zijn.
