Refresh rate override and CAT 4.12

[Phil]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati (More info?)

I was very happy to finally see a built-in refresh override feature in the
4.12 drivers, and it seems to work just fine. However, after a reboot the 3d
Refresh Rate Override setting reverts to Same as desktop, instead of the
specific refresh rate value I set it to.

I have a 9800pro and currently use the Catalyst Control Center that came
with the 4.12 drivers.

Anyone else having this problem?

What refresh rate do you use for regular desktop mode?

My desktop is set to 85Hz, and I have the 3d Refresh Rate Override also set
to 85Hz. The problem is that the Catalyst Control Center doesn't retain this
setting after it's restarted. It always reverts to Same as desktop.

Well beat me, but your desktop refresh rate is the "same" as your 3D
settings. Maybe the CCC detects this and does not displays as "85" but as
"Same as destop". So it's more a stupidity of the CCC than a technical flaw.
I wouldn't use this bloatware at all.

There definitely is a problem with this. When set to Same as desktop my
refresh will drop to 60Hz when going into a full-screen 3d game. When it is
set to 85Hz my refresh stays put in games.
