I am running 1600x1200 @ 60hz, and I don't know how to get the refresh higher in Q3. Monitor will handle 1280x1024 @ 100hz and 1600x1200 @ 85hz..

Pls Help

erm, put your desktop refresh rate up?

Add into your q3config.cfg file the following setting:

seta r_displayRefresh "85"

Of course replace 85 with whatever refresh you want.

....unless he's using win98 that isn't gonna work... but chances are he is.

get one of the hundred refresh rate fixes that are available on the net .. . . ..

im afraid of them since trogs rant on one of them destroying his computer

nah
trog obvisouly didnt know what he was doing

they all good now

HAHAH. :(

Play at a refresh rate where you can get 120Hz.(640x480 and 800x600 for me). Do what mr cerb said. And if you cant get it to run because absence of a 9x operating system, use powerstrip.

b you're backwards, r_displayrefresh should work in 9x, actually it should even work in 2k if you're not using an nvidia.

sorry, got the wrong wording there, edited :)

640x480 150hz, mmmmm, smooooth....

dame windows 2000 bug....use powerstrip to fix it !

Geforce 4 Ti
Windows XP

nah
trog obvisouly didnt know what he was doing

I just clicked 'install' and everything went to shiz, but I prolly had the wrong version - its lame that nvidia don't fix it them-goddamn-selves

its lame that nvidia don't fix it them-goddamn-selves

Muhahahaha!!! Get a real card up ya! :D

It's a Windows bug. They took away the optimal refresh rate option, so DirectX and OpenGL display modes run at set refresh rates.

The problem with Nvidia cards is they changed the drivers so all the old utils used to get around this bug don't work, unless they've been updated since the change was made.

powerstrip still works Tael becaus it is not driver dependat....

Yeah, that's true. I was just pointing out that the main problem is caused by Windows, not by Nvidia cards.

what he says ^

hmm yes well i managed to get the refresh upto 100 in quake 3

but I CANT GET VSYNC ON !

Go to Setup -> Game Options and turn on "Sync Every Frame".

nup... frame rate is still at 300+

at the console type "com_maxFps x" where X is the maximum frames per second you want to achieve. Bear in mind, though, that it will go a few frames over this normally. I have mine set to 117 and it normally sits on 125.

You may also want to check in your video card drivers to see if there's an option to force vsync on.
