50% in performance by using Nvidia Refresh Rate Override....

When I have refresh rate override on (to get 100 HZ), my FPS in 3dmarks 2001 go from about ~460fps on dragolith to ~210fps. That's HALF the performance... WTF is going on ?

And if I disable the refresh rate override in the Nvidia menu, it goes back to 460fps. I figured out that if I go in the task manager and put the priority to high when i run the benchmark, it goes back to like 460 fps.

But this just means that when i play my games regularly (without going into task manager to put it on high) i must be getting half the performance!

How can I fix this? Is it a bug? Any explanations?

It is a known driver issue. What you need to do is disable refresh rate overrides and get a third party utility like refreshforce from the net to run on your system. That will get your refresh rates up and keep your FPS high.

That's what I do.
 
Thanks for the quick response.

Unfortunately refreshforce didn't work for me.
But i'll try again.
