HELP! VX2268WM Setting 120Hz custom res (18 comments)

( Forum: HW)

Posted by Robin @ 11:05 CST, 26 January 2010 - iMsg

So finally I got my VX2268WM and tossed out my old CRT. Only thing what pisses me off, is that I play with 800x600 resolution and this original driver only let's me run stuff at 120Hz in 16xx resolution.

Does anyone know workaround to set custom timings (Hz) to non-native resolutions? Mostly I am looking for a custom made inf driver which has all of these (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 etc) resolutions set to 100-120Hz.

I tried making my own with Phoenix software forcing hz's to 120, but it seems I had a lack of success back there.

I also tried making custom resolution with nvidia control panel, game started with 120hz, but it ran on 16xx resolution having tons of 800x600 sized screens.. So that was a no go also.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks crack! My 2nd problem seemed to be outdated nvidia drivers :(

Well good to see this thing works at 800x600 with 120Hz! I totally would've returned this display tomorrow without your response :)

Solution for XP (32bit): Newest Geforce drivers, modded vx2268 driver and you have to create custom resolution via nvidia control panel.
I put 100 and 120hz's to 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. Works like a charm afterwards. Also remember to check that you're using DVI instead of D-SUB. Change it to DVI and also disable multiple displays (clone etc.) to single display.

BTW, has anybody found a way to get gpu scaling on the 2233rz with win 7 and ati cards to work yet?

That is not possible at the moment, sorry.
A funny (but sad) thing about that is that ATI keeps denying the problem on their official forums, even though every third post is about the obviously broken scaling.

What I did to fix the ATI scaling problem: Sell ATI card, buy NVidia card. Works like a charm.

Has anyone been able to set 100Hz in 3d mode while using 64bit OS (xp, vista or 7)? I couldn't set it even for 2d mode (tried with custom drivers also) Even with CRT it seemed to be impossible. Hope they could do something about it.. fast!

i never installed my monitor drivers.. what do they even do? :|

Not too much tbh. They tell windows what refresh rates at what modes are available. Additionally, some monitor drivers include color profiles.

i installed this but still cant have 120hz at 800 X 600 only at native resolution.
Before i had a weird problem aswell...if i setted 1680X1050 120 hz looked really terrible like a 320 X 200 but with the size of icons and characters of 1680 X1050 . After moving a bit in control pannel without changing anything screen became white for 2 secs and then worked again..happened after i pressed the on off button while pc was running.
what could be ? some problem with drivers ? i just pressed install with right click to this inf maybe should i have uninstalled the old one ?
ah ive got ati and xp 32 bitz
EDIT : ah i didnt say that i can select 120hz for every resolution but even tho i change it it doesnt .

The scaling can be achieved through a 3rd party program, check my config pack: http://nvcgamer.eu/config/nvcconfig.rar for the file - navigate to "other" folder (: read the .txt file included

**update** seems my site is down, link included in my post: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1825405

does the scaling add any sort of delay? i know it does when its about monitor driver. I m getting used to 1600 so dunno if i really need it :D
EDIT: looks like win 7 is needed to make that work .

Oh damn sorry i didn't read that you had XP, and as for delay i don't know - it feels the same as 1680x1050 anyway.

np man ty anyway i ll just stick with native res so i also remove the placebo effect of added delay that i ll surely feel playing with no native res .

are you sure you're using dual-link DVI cable, not the old one left from your old monitor?

specs say it doesn't do 120hz for anything other than 1680x1050.
