So lately I have been playing alot of CS:GO and lots of people are saying that more hertz is better, my monitor is a benQ GL2450HM 1080p 60hz. But I can however create a custom resolution in nvidia control panel to make it run in 720p 75hz. I would really prefer to play CS:go with this resolution but everything else in 1080p 60hz. However I have to go into nvidia control panel every time i want to change my resolution to 720p 75hz, If i just launch CS:GO while i'm using 1080p it goes to 720p 60hz. It won't go to 720p 75hz. I cannot figure out how to delete the 720p 60hz profile in nvidia nor can I figure out how to set 720p 75hz as a default setting when i change the video settings in a game to 720p. So does anyone know how I can delete a monitor preset or change defaults? My specs are:

Intel i5 2500
Asus 560 ti8gb
1333Mhz Ram500w
Silver power 80+ PSU60gb
Corsair Force series 3 SSD
1tb Green WD drive
430 Cooler Master Elite

Ugh...getting more and more frustrated at the lack of official specs when it comes to refresh rate. I find some people online claiming it's 120 Hz, some 75 Hz, some 60 Hz.

Anyway, I don't think there is a good way to automatically change the refresh from 60 to 75 Hz when you start up CS:GO, at least not with nvidia control panel. I think you may just have to change it...

No it can when I don't run 1080p resolution. Like when I run it in 720p it can run in 75hz it just doesnt do that as default, hence why im asking how I change the default 720p res from 60hz to 75hz. When I choose something like 1024*768 it goes to 75hz as default.

Ok, well then if you have the HM model (which is a 120 Hz monitor - or at least I think so...I don't know why benQ refuses to list refresh rates on their monitor specs) then you should be able to set 120 Hz as the default refresh rate. I would do this. And set the resolution to the native resolution of the monitor (1080p).

Now when you go into a game, you can change the resolution in the graphics/video settings for the specific game (so you can set it to 720p in CS:GO). Now your GPU will render at 720p for that specific game and put out as many frames as possible based on how powerful the card is. You don't need to try to "fix" the refresh rate reported to your monitor. In fact that won't even work. If your GPU can only output 50 frames per second, you will only see 50 frames per second even if in the control panel it is set to output at 75 Hz.

If however, you go with my suggestion to set refresh at 120 Hz in the control panel, you will be able to enjoy framerates anywhere from 0 to 120, depending on how many frames your GPU can output.

No my monitor is not a 120hz monitor it's just 60hz but thats when I use 1080p resolution. I do get around 250fps in CS:GO and I think i could solve this problem if I could just delete the option to set my monitor to 720p 60hz therefore it would automatically into 720p 75hz when i set the resolution to 720p in CS:GO http://www.benq.com/product/monitor/gl2450hm/
