OpenGL and refresh rates

[aces170]

I have a Radeon 9800 pro, the prob is whenever I play Open GL games like Doom 3 or Quake 3 arena the refresh rates drops from 85 Hz to 60 Hz and it hurts the eyes a lot? How do I increase the refresh rates?

I am having difficulty understanding your quest. You're stating that when you're playing your OpenGL games your monitor refresh rate starts to decrease as you play?

Had same problem in games, was pretty bad trying to play quake3 at 60hz
I use RefreshLock, 85hz of goodness!

i use reforce and i just set the resolution to whatever highest my monitor will support at 100hz which is 1152,, if i run any higher it won't go any higher than 75 b/c of the physical limits of my monitor,, so try changing ur resoluion to what you have set for 85 ie.. if u have 1024 at 85 and ur running 1152 go down to 1024 and that should do it
