3D Refresh Rate Override (LCD improvement)

[nicoliani 3]

LCD screens run at 60 Hz. For desktop application there is nothing you can do to improve it. Driving the Hz up will result in bad tearing. For games although there is an option to increase the refresh rate called "3D Refresh Rate Override" and have it look beautiful ingame.

If you have an ATI or Nvidia card there is an option in the control settings software CCC and ForceWare where you can choose a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz. So when you start your game your LCD auto goes int 75 Hz.

When I first used it I was impressed. I never was a fancy of the qulity for games with LCD screens but now it is magnificent. Games look so beautifully, lively and you feel like you're inside the game.

It's the same difference what you noticed when you went over from analog to digital TV, or when you first saw a movie or trailer in HD format.

I haven't tried any rate over 75 Hz as I don't know if my screen supports that. But setting it to 75 Hz wouldn't give any LCD any issues and is safe for your LCD but I now when someone does runs over 100 Hz it can happen that games don't start.

Please let us now if you experienced what I have experienced and if you got even better picture qulity going over 75 Hz.
