need help forcing refresh rates Voodoo5 W2k

Sanhime · June 23rd, 2002, 23:21

I just upgraded from win98 to Win2k. When I was using 98x, I set the refresh setting to "optima"l so that any application I on, whether it be D3D or opengl or desktop (and I only use 1024x768 resolution), it will always use the same refresh rate for that resolution...for me that's 75hz at 1024x768, 32bbp...always.

Now that I upgraded to Win2k, only at the deasktop and D3D will it stay at that rate. However, when I use glide or opengl, it drops to 60hz, and there does not seem to be any way in the video settings to fix that.

Any ideas?

Yeah, the 3DFX underground drivers are the best, and really the only viable ones for XP. The tweak tool that comes with it is based on v control IIRC, so just get hold of those.
