So I've been having this problem for a while now in a few games, notably Far Cry 2 and World in Conflict.
I'll start the game, and I get a ton of interlacing and the game looks like garbage. Going into the in-game settings and trying to force it to 60hz refresh rate does nothing; it still displays in 1080i. With FC2 I used to be able to fix it by restarting the game and re-applying 60hz settings, but World in Conflict won't cooperate at all. Spore used to give me issues, but at least that game told me exactly what was going on; sometimes it would default to 1920x1080@30hz and simply setting it to 1920x1080@60hz would fix the issue every time. Mercenaries 2 and Fallout 3 had one or two small occurrences of this issue, but it was as easily fixed as it was in Spore and happened far less often. This happens both with an without vsync.
I'm pretty much out of ideas on how to fix this. I have everything set properly in CCC, and the in-game settings usually give me the same garbage; it'll say the refresh rate is set to 60hz but it'll really be 30 or whatever number feels like. Has anyone had this problem and managed to figure it out?
The computer and monitor in question are in my signature. I'm currently using a DVI cable to connect the PC and monitor, and this has happened since more or less day 1 with the 4870x2 (bought it as soon as it launched) using more or less every driver iteration released since then (currently using 9.2).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. This is starting to really annoy me
