Widescreen Gaming Forum

So does this mean you can fool Windows into 5040x1050 at 60Hz, and the TH2Go is still outputting ~57Hz?

I'm pretty sure that is what's happening.

In the Windows Vista Display Settings>Advanced>Monitor dialogue the only screen refresh rate I can select now is 60Hz. In games it's the same story I can only select a refresh rate of 60Hz when at 5040x1050.

The Matrox GXM is still reporting 5040x1050 @ 57Hz as my current display mode though.

um is this for vista only?

i can't select 60hz in xp custom res section.

If i select it and press test, everything goes really big...using 178.13

damn i wanna play dead space in 5040x1050

I've been away for quite some time, but am glad to be back...tried 60Hz and it seems to work and gets rid of those annoying monitor nags. Not restarted or tried gaming etc, but chuffed nonetheless :)

This doesn't work in Windows 7 I'm afraid. Please don't tell me we went through all this for Vista, only for it to be made redundant in Windows 7?


Aaargh!

This 60Hz fix was holding my rig together for the longest time, but I've just updated to 190.58 and 2.05.00.020 and it no longer seems to work. I've got 5040x1050@57Hz, but the nag screens are an utter pain. Short of changing screens, is there anything I can do? I read around the forum and I can't see an answer, but I've been away for some time so apologies if I've missed it.

If there's no fix I'll be seriously tempted to lose the triplehead2go as the small things are really beginning to annoy me, such as having to reapply the desktop divider every time I boot.

What do you mean by "Nag screen"?

The screen my monitor throws up informing me I'm not running optimal settings. There're a few screens that support 57Hz but reeeeally like to remind you it should be 60Hz.

What are you actually changing to 60 hertz, the top basic box or the bottom advanced refresh rate?!

Both. Is that wrong? I was on the old drivers so long I can't remember if that's wrong now...you've got me wondering.

I wish there was someone that made a little app that would fool the OS that the monitors are running 60Hz but its actually only 57hz :) So games like dead space would allow me to run higher than 4320x900 :D
