    UT 60 Hz Refresh - Help

    All of a sudden, when running UT (ver 432) in W2K, it changes my display to 60 Hz refresh (1024x768) while the game is running. Used to be 75 Hz. I have had synch both on and off. No effect. I have set the refresh in Powerstrip to 75 Hz at this resolution and removed powerstrip altogether, no effect.

    Arggh - Where is the setting for this parameter for UT?

    Computer:
    800e PIII @ 950 MHz (1.70 V) w/Tennmax P3 TF heatsink, ABIT BE6, 2X128 MB Mushkin PC133 (Mosel REV2 PC133 222) + G400 MAX (or Hercules Prophet II 64 MB), CL SB Live, Netgear FA310TX NIC to ZyXEL Prestige 314 Router, IBM Deskstar 34GXP (13 GB, 7200 rpm ATA66) HD, Adaptec AHA2940 w/uw SCSI, IBM Ultrastar 9ZX 9.1GB 10K UW SCSI HD, WD Enterprise 4360 4.3GB 7.2k UW SCSI HD, Pioneer 303s SCSI DVD, Plexwriter 8/4/32A, Win2K all in a modified Supermicro SC750A case, also Sennheiser HD-600 headphones, Sennheiser DSP360 Dolby processor, and a Shure FP22 headphone amplifier.

    Just use a custumized resolution, the refresh rate you choose there will always be used.

      Thanks for the quick reply. I have set my monitor properties to use 75 Hz refresh at 1024x768 in both 16- and 32-bit mode. Both with and without Powerstrip. Won't adopt that refresh in UT.

        Are you using OGL or D3D? I've noticed that when I try to use OGL it does the same thing as you describe. The refresh rate drops to something significantly lower than my desktop refresh.

          Use Powerdesk to set your resolutions.

            Rags - I was thinking that also. How do you access PD? I tried, but couldn't find it.

            I'm using D3D.

            Anyway, I continued a search of the forums and found a solution: dxdiag, more help, override.

              That only works for D3D. If you want it to work for all 3D accelerated modes, just go to display properties, advanced, monitor settings, and customize your display modes there.

                Rags - Did that without effect. Sounds like you're talking about Win98 though...

                  Did you tell tell it to allow windows to use the customized display mode? You have to.

                    Oh, and you have to customize the resolution/color depth that you are going to use in playing your games.

                      My Display Properties has tabs and buttons for Settings, Advanced, Monitor, Refresh Frequency and that's it. This is driver version 5.03.025.

                      Yes, I'm changing the appropriate color depth and resolution for UT.

                        Brian, it's advanced, monitor display setting, adjust a different display mode. Try that.

                          I don't have that option Greebe. Could it be I loaded the drivers incorrectly?

                            Brian,

                            Hit Ctrl Shift Esc, and tell me if PDesk.exe is listed there.

                              Yes it is. Sorry if I'm slow, I'm trying to give a girl a bath...
