Force Refresh Rate in AMD CCC

Skakruk said:
Is there any way for force highest refresh rate in Catalyst Control Center? This is important for 120Hz LCDs and CRTs as some games seem to like getting stuck at 60Hz in certain situations (Crysis).

This used to be an issue with my NVIDIA cards until out of the blue NVIDIA actually grew a brain and added this massively useful Force Highest Available Refresh setting to their Forceware. I just about died of shock.

Anyway, I've become quite reliant on this feature and I was wondering if AMD has also taken the initiative and added some kind of force highest refresh setting. This will probably be the deciding factor in whether I get another GTX 580 or wait for the HD 7970.

I use a program called D3Doverider. It's a very small program that comes with Rivatuner.

It will force vsync, and Triple buffering, so you dont get screen tearing.
 
Even worse is trying to run games on an HDTV...

Certain DX10 games get stuck at some ridiculous resolution and 24p...

You have to run through every resolution and change the GPU scaling to 0%... and never fix the refresh rate, maybe I'll give D3Doverider a try.

That's pretty old (2004). Can you confirm it works with Windows 7 and DX10+ games?



I'm talking about forcing high refresh rates (Hz), so that's not what I'm looking for. I already use D3DOverrider though. :)

Guess im confused. In windows you should be able to set whatever refresh rate you want, as long as the monitor support it.

So if a monitor supports 120hz, just set it in windows to 120hz, and make sure d3doverrider is set to force vsync?

That would set any game to 120hz. The same refresh rate as the desktop

It's because some games will override the desktop refresh rate. Don't ask me why, but you can set 120Hz in windows and the game will force 60Hz while it's running. D3DOverrider just forces V-Sync for whatever refresh rate the game is using.

I know some games limit the max refresh rate (rage, NFSTR etc) So maybe is the game limit and not drivers?

I'm not saying it's the limit or 'fault' of the driver. It's probably the games fault, but the driver can override it if AMD builds the option in. I haven't found a single game that NVIDIA CP cannot force to 120Hz, so AMD can do the same.

I can easily name 3 games, where Nvidia cannot force 120hz.

Rage, NFSTR, and Call of Duty Star wars unleashed 2.

Rage is stuck at 60hz, Need for speed 30hz, and Call of Duty 91hz. Star wars 30hz.

Nvidia cannot make those run at 120hz....no matter what you do

P.S. Crysis supports 3d surround, so it supports 120hz. If it goes and reverts back to 60hz, then to me sounds like a Driver problem.
