If you are using a DVI connection, then it is limited to 60Hz.

Using VGA connection will probably get you 75Hz, but generally speaking, many internal LCD monitor electronics reduces 75Hz signals to 60Hz signals anyway.

While the 961BF probably allowed you to select 75Hz using DVI-D, it most likely stepped it down to 60Hz internally. Therefore, no difference.

LCD monitors are basically designed to run at 60Hz because that's the frequency that the DVI-D port is designed to operate at.

Also "refresh rate" for CRTs and LCD represents different things. Response time in LCD refers to how fast things can be drawn on the screen whereas for CRT it is known as refresh rate. "Refresh rate" for a LCD refers to the number of times per second the video card sends digital signals to the LCD monitor.
