SOLUTION: HOLY SHIT THIS WORKED
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/7947-for...rates.html
I didn't think it would work considering I'm on a VGA connection, but it did. Fuck you ATI, I win.
Please try that solution first, works amazingly.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. It has a Radeon 4330 in it, and I have Catalyst installed. The laptop won't output more than 85hz. I know the monitor supports it, when it's plugged into my desktop I can get 120hz on 800x600 just fine. Windows 7 caps me at 85hz. I can go into Quake and do 85, but anything higher will put me at 60hz. I unchecked the 'hide modes this monitor doesn't support' setting in Windows also.
Is there ANY fix for this? The ATI drivers are shit, but the new versions don't do any better. Lots of people are reporting the problem also, but I cannot seem to find a reliable fix for it.
- ATI RefreshFix doesn't work.
- Haven't tried INF editing, I can't see this being the problem seeing my monitor drivers have the proper refresh rates listed in it.
- Registry editing? Not sure, haven't found a solution regarding that.
- http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1825359#pid1825359 - I tried that, can't find that driver file.
- http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1825500 - Doesn't seem to work either, I don't know what version of CCC I have either, ABOUT doesn't tell me.
ANYONE have a fix? Please help :)
Thank you
