My monitor should be able to pull of 120hz @ 1024x768 but under Windows 7 I can't set the refresh rate over 85Hz.
I have been reading forums all day, but I couldn't find any solution.
Mztik recommanded me to use this "Power Strip" program, I made my own display settings, forcing the refreshrate on 120hz, saved the profile and loaded it, but it doesn't work. Doesn't look like 120Hz at all. Using r_swapinterval 1 says 75 hz, which is correct I think.(When I had XP running 120hz it said 120)
I also tried to override my refreshrate with rivatuner, didn't work.
I have the newest display drivers, etc.
Any solutions?

set refreshrate to desired number in desired resolution
r_displayrefresh 120 (if thats what you want) in config
If that doesnt work then I cant help you
win7 gives me 85hz max X:D
I had to use r_mode -1; and set custom h&w to 1024, 768.
Thanks :)
