Check active refresh rate

[Prelim]

Hi guys,

after overclocking my old HP w2207h to 72Hz (w/ custom timings, max auto is 69-70Hz) I successfully played several games and everything seems to be fine (afterburner is reading 72fps w/ vsync ON).

however after testing the refresh rate in this site, is only reads 60Hz: http://www.testufo.com/#test=framerates&count=2&background=none&pps=960&ff=1

is that normal, shouldn't it read 72Hz? how can I be sure that I'm operating at 72Hz in desktop/2D?

If you read the info on that site it explains it only works in certain browsers, Aero needs to be on, you need to have power saving mode off, etc.

Hi,

Thanks again, the only thing missing was Aero! 72Hz detected now
