120 Hz setting for 3D Monitor

Post » Thu Nov 11, 2010 7:01 pm

Just installed the game yesterday & like a good number of my clan people,
we're having some issue's with graphics. The graphic issue I've been getting
is the entire screen gets a white film in front of the picture.

I'm using a 120Hz refresh monitor, and looking through all setting's,
even from tweak guides. I don't see a way to change the refresh rate to 120Hz.
The only thing I can think of is to enable Vsyn ?

There's settings for forcing refresh rate in your Driver Control panel for Nvidia anyhow, that's what i use when games don't default to 120Hz.

Vsync won't help you if your refresh is still at 60Hz cause it will just sync to 60 Hz.

PLG23, I'll look into my ATI Catalyst to see if I can force games @ 120Hz !

OneGuN3R : In BF/Bad Company-2 I set refresh in game settings 120Hz, Now
depending on how I set my settings. I run about 120- 145FPS

just like i thought i run at full 120 refresh rate by default

forcing it for me is still just a silky smooth as it is when not forced
setting my monitor to 60hz in desktop i notice the the difference in the game compared to 120

and to anyone with nvidia having issues with enabling forced refresh rate go to windows control panel and uninstall 3d vision driver after that you will have access to the option

I guess Ati Catalyst differant than Nvida. I have my catalyst set to 120Hz, but that doesn't mean the game is.
Issue I need to resolve...
I load into a server and play, FPS might be 60. Then when round is over & I'm in the lobby.
My FPS shoot though the roof. Anywhere from 500-2000FPS ! Then when new round launches,
my graphics go to poop.
In Cfg.file there should be Sys_maxfps. Mine is not there ???

TO be sure what refresh you're in you can usually just hit the settings buttons on your monitor itself, there's always an info section where it will show you the current mode the screen is running in.

Not needed for me, I just move my mouse a bit and can tell if the screen is 60 or 120 hz.

Yea, I run dual screens sometimes, one is 120Hz & one is 60hz.
