Why is this happening? my monitor is able to do 60 hertz. when I go to screen resolution > modes > 1680 by 1080 59 hertz to 1080 by 1080 60 hertz press apply. reopen and its back to 59.... why is this happning?

Are you using Catalyst? If so make sure you are making these changes on desktop properties, you should see your resolution and hz , select it, and press apply.

i am using nvidia. i changed it in the nvidia settings to 60. but everything i do says 59 hertz. even the game im playing

Do not worry it has something to do with 60 actually being 59.9something and something to do with rounding the number down to 59 instead of upto 60.

It is the same "60hz" that you have had in the past.

I am sure it has done this since Windows Vista was released.

when you click apply does the screens turns off and on again? if so it means that a change has been done in resolution or frequency.

Video control panels such as Nvidia or Amd should be able to change these settings but as Batguerra suggested, try setting it through Windows.

May need to install a driver for your monitor if Windows isnt properly detecting too.

What monitor is it and what video cable are you using?

also i changed it on the desktop and the desktop always goes back to 59 hertz...

Batguerra · Jan 25, 2014

Uh, it may sound a dumb question, but are you sure that your monitor is 60hz?

I edited my post above with an image. For real 59.9X vs 60. they are the same it is just the way they are labeling it(in my case the Nvidia control panel says 60 and Windows says 59.).

im using a hdmi cable to a westinghouse 1680 1080... i set everything everything is reading fine. its just when i select it in windows to go to 60 it goes back to 59

Maybe it's the way the monitor works in the desktop, try playing a game and turn on fraps, turn v-sync in-game and see if the max fps i around 60-61.

I have the same issue. My games used to register as 60hx in the options, and one day out the blue, all the games only listed 59 or 59.94 as options. Nothing fixed it, including reinstalling OS, installing new OS on new HD etc, but on my other PC, I can still play games as "60hz" using the same monitor.
