Hey, so ive got a serious problem right now. The case is, on XP im able to have above 100hz no problem using 640x480 with my 19" monitor. But since i moved to win7 im unable to have more than 85hz in any resolution. Also worth mentioning, on XP i was able to use drivers for my "TAXAN Ergovision 980 TCO99", since it was x86, but now since im using x64, they do not work. Ive also tried overriding the 85hz in the monitor properties and ive also tried "Refresh Lock" with no success. I hope anyone have a solution out there, would be great! Largest problem is that im a serious CS player, so 85 and 100fps makes all the difference in the world. Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure if it's possible in the ATI CCC, but in the Nvidia Control Panel you can create a "custom resolution" including a Hz setting. Have you already tried that?
Yeah ive tried that aswell, though i have read up some, and it appears to be a common problem with nvidia users for Win7, and last known drivers to work without this lock is the 182.50, though im unable to install those. Another solution ive read about is messing around with EDID, though that field is way over my league, but im desperate so willing to try anything. Any more help or advise would be gold worth Thanks!
What card do you have? Nvidia or ATI? I thought you're referring to the Sapphire X1950XT in your profile? Just let me know and I can move your thread into the appropriate section.
Ahh yeah thats my old setup, havnt gotten around to changing. Though i solved my mystery now. What i did was looking over some other more modern drivers to see how they were set up, and all i had to do with my drivers from 2002 was to add NTamd64 at some places for windows to recognize them as x64 drivers. BUT since the Nvidia drivers are messed up lately, i must use Refresh Lock in order to set the specific refresh rate i want for each resolution. Thanks anyway!
Ill post my .inf aswell in case someone else have a simular situation and wants to compare .

I'm having the exact same problem!! I'm gonna try to edit my monitors drivers inf file similarly to yours, since w7 doesnt want to recognize it. I've made a custom driver with Rivatuner though, but It didnt change a bit
I have same problem. I have crt monitor 21" samsung syncmaster 1100DF running win7 x64 w/ geforce driver 191.07wqhl and 195.39beta. I don't get more than 85Hz yet despite add custom resolution!
