What refresh rate do you use for regular desktop mode?

It can therefore be said that politics is war without

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.
