Max refresh rates

Hi,
I own a MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 VTD and as I will soon get 3D glasses, I need to get the highest refresh rates it can give. My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 900 NF and it can handles 160Hz at 800x600 or 132Hz at 1024x768 (these are the 2 resolutions I plan to use).
Unfortunately reading the spec of my MSI Geforce 4, it seems that it cannot handle the same refresh rates At 800x600, it can handle 150Hz and at 1024x768 it can do 120Hz. I know the difference is not so important but as I plan to tweak the settings to their max (and it is really required for 3D stereovision), I need to know the exact max capabilities of the card.
What seem strange to me is that other Geforce 4 Ti4200 based card (such as the Asus) have MUCH higher refresh rate capabilities and can display at 200-240Hz at those resolution!!!!!!!!! And this is for the exact same chipset so I find this a little disturbing.
Do you know if the refresh rates indicated on the MSI manual (and on their website) really are the maximum refresh rates or only recommended refresh rates for any resolution? I cannot believe the MSI GF 4 Ti4200 can "only" do 120Hz at 1024x768........................
Will I damage the card if I go above these settings (f.ex use 160Hz at 800x600 rather then the "max" written 150Hz of the card)????
Many thanks

Max refresh rate Macbook PRO -- LG TV

Hello,
I am connecting my LG LN5700 TV with a max refresh rate of 120 Hz to my Macbook Pro via HDMI using the cables listed below. However, the display settings on connection only show option for frequency upto 60 Hz (and mentions NTSC in paranthesis). Any ideas why I am not able to access the max refresh rate ? The HDMI cable claims to support higher refresh rates. Could the mac_disp --> HDMI be the bottleneck ?

Not that I know of... for display on my LG TV, I used to use a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI adapter. But I ran it through the HDMI on my Denon reciever and then to my LG TV. If you've an extra HDMI port on your LG, you could use the same adapter -> here.
Good luck,

What should my screen refresh rate be?

Hi guys, ive never really understood the refresh rate for screens. I have a geforce 4 ti4200, and my refresh rate is 60hertz, what should it be, or whats the best? Thanks sasarchiver

100 and more is the best for your eyes. 85 is the lower limit for "blindness"..... ; 60Hz is the lowest possible of your monitor and can harm your sight when long-acting.
you have max. vertical and horizontal freq. of your monitor and a screen resolution (for example horizontal 1024x768 vertical)
so you will know the max vertical freq. by counting: (max horizontal freq of your monitor)/(vertical screen resolution)*(0,95)=max refresh rate
eg: you have max 110kHz of horizontal freq. and screen resolution of 1024x768
so: (110000/768)*0,95=136Hz
this is the max refresh but the graphics cards sopports only 120Hz so you choose 120Hz in your graphics driver 120Hz for this resolution.

T61P LCD Refresh Rate keeps resetting to 60 Hz - Also Brightness maxes out

I tried saving a power profile for the resolution, etc., but maybe I didn't know how to save it properly, so whenever just about anything significant happens to my T61P (logout, restart, change something about the video) it ends up reverting to 60 Hz and since I'm using a Philips 19" CRT second display, the 60 Hz refresh rate just doesn't cut it for my eyes.
Speaking of my eyes, the notebook display also reverts to max. brightness frequently, which is annoying.
Does someone know how I can get the rate to lock on 85 Hz and permanently retain the settings I put in for the power profile? I Just reinstalled the Thinkpad Power Manager but honestly I still need to reboot and see if it's better before I make too much of it here. Thanks!

3) If you do not specify a restricted list of modelines, I'm pretty sure all of them will be read from the EDID. I have only one modeline appearing in the output of xrandr and only one appearing in the XFCE display dialog. I do this in the "Display" SubSections where you list all the bit depths.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I never restricted anything, the modes are simply not there in the EDID. Call it manufacturers safety, I call it manucafturers dumbness. Anyway, what I like is full list of modes from 640x480 to maximum supported with every single refresh rate mode which wont kill my eyes (85+ Hz). Usually the highest modes aren't there even if the display supports them. Missing refresh rate modes are the most typical flaw here.

xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
when trying manually added mode, as I already wrote.

Judder using Mplayer... maybe force different resolution/refresh rate?

Hi!
(I posted this in the newbie section too, but this is maybe the most appropriate place??)
I've set up my computer as a media center using Freevo. As the main media player in Freevo I use Mplayer. The setup is working beautifully, but I'm getting some judder and it's a bit annoying. It's most noticable during bright, fast moving scenes.
So I've been trying to figure out how to remedy this, but it's harder than I thought. My setup is the following:
AMD 4200+ dual core, 2 gigs ram, Nvidia 7800GTX, 24" LCD and Pioneer LX508D plasma TV, and I'm using CoreAVC as decoder (amazing piece of software )
When I bought the 24" screen for my computer the sales guy (using windows) forced the resolution to 1920x1080. It looked a bit stretched, but if I could do this in Linux I'd avoid having parts of the picture missing on my TV. Now I have to use 1920x1200 resolution as main X session and since my TV is 1920x1080 parts of the desktop is out of view on my TV. This isn't too big of a deal though cause when playing movies they come out in 1920x1080. It'd be nice though to get the correct aspect ratio between my pc screen and my TV (I've been trying to use Twinview and clone, but it's impossible to use 1920x1200 on the 24" and 1920x1080 on the TV at the same time). I've tried to force my pc screen to use 1920x1080 (since it worked in windows it's supposed to be possible), but when I enable it through xorg.conf the screen goes blank. Using nvidia-settings doesn't give me the option of using 1920x1080 on the 24" at all.
So what I'm hoping to be able to do is to force the computer screen to use 1920x1080 and a refresh rate of 72Hz. This should eliminate alot of the judder and at the same time I won't have to use the "PC mode" on my TV (PC mode restrict the Hz to max 60Hz). Hopefully the TV will accept the 1920x1080 72Hz as any input and let me use the normal input (and then be able to use 72Hz... or 96Hz for that matter).
Anyone know how I might be able to do that? I'd really appreciate any help at all since this is the only thing that's not perfect with my setup.

Ok, I tried to change the xorg.conf file to 72Hz on the TV and it when black again. This is what the xorg.0.log shows:

I read somewhere that the TV is supposed to be able to show 1080p in 72Hz. But when I try that it goes blank. Maybe it has something to do with the monitor being 1920x1200 and the TV 1920x1080. The monitor won't accept 1920x1080 as resolution so I guess that can only be done in Windows...

X misdetects LG Flatron F700B as 775FT - 50hz refresh rate

Hi;
I acquired a LG Flatron F700B today and hooked it up (nice, sharp picture, much nicer to stare at than my venerable, fuzzy Benq V772.) The issue here is that according to nvidia-settings, my computer thinks that this is a LG 775FT.
This wouldn't be so bad, but there's a distinct difference in specifications between the two monitors - the F700B does max. 1280x1024 @ 85Hz, but the 775FT (which X seems to think I have) only does 1280x1024 @ 60Hz. Interestingly, xrandr reports the maximum resolution as 1280x1024 @ 50Hz.
As you can imagine, 50/60Hz makes ones eyes bleed... I've tried editing the Monitor section in xorg.conf with appropriate sync ranges taken from the monitor specs at link [1], but apparently new versions of X just go ahead and autodetect the monitor anyway, which is actually working against me here (autodetection is nice, but only when it detects the Right Thing.)
nvidia-settings only lets me push the monitor up to 60hz.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can 'persuade' X that my monitor Really Can Do 1028x1024 @ 85hz? I'm tempted to take a cudgel to it and see if it plays nice
Cheers;

Nvidia actually uses refresh rate to report a completely different property, something to do with twinview mode and compatibility with TVs and such - that's why you shouldn't really worry about what xrandr says... You can use nvidia-settings to see what the actual refresh rate is, it most certainly isn't 50hz. If that figure bothers you you can add something like this to the device section in xorg:
Option "DynamicTwinView" "False"
This will not actually change how the image is displayed but it will make xrandr return the actuall refresh value.
This is what nvidia manual has to say about this:
Option "DynamicTwinView" "boolean"
Enable or disable support for dynamically configuring TwinView on this X screen. When DynamicTwinView is enabled (the default), the refresh rate of a mode (reported through XF86VidMode or XRandR) does not correctly report the refresh rate, but instead is a unique number such that each MetaMode has a different value. This is to guarantee that MetaModes can be uniquely identified by XRandR.
When DynamicTwinView is disabled, the refresh rate reported through XRandR will be accurate, but NV-CONTROL clients such as nvidia-settings will not be able to dynamically manipulate the X screen's MetaModes. TwinView can still be configured from the X config file when DynamicTwinView is disabled.
Default: DynamicTwinView is enabled.

Solaris8+patch display refresh rate problem

I have installed the 109401-05 video patch for Solaris8 to update the video
card drivers. But now at 1600x1200 screen resolution the maximum display
refresh rate is always 60Hz, altough higher settings in kdmconfig. The behaviour is similar at 1280x1024, but the max. rate is 80Hz. I have tryed
this with the ATI Xpert2000pro and Xpert98 graphic cards.
Without the patch the refresh rate is OK (with the Xpert98 card). The
motherboard is Abit KT7.
Does anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks, Albin

Hmm, if the refresh rate was OK before you installed the 109401-05
video driver patch, why don't you uninstall that patch? Or do you
need some other bugfix included in 109401-05?
Otherwise the 60Hz problem problem with certain old ATI cards is not unknown to me:
See this Solarisonintel posting for a possible solution.

Refresh Rate in X Windows (SOLVED)

I set up an xorg.conf and it recognizes the attached monitor, but it displays with a refresh rate of 60. I would like the refresh rate of 76. In the radeon driver's output, it states that it recognizes the monitor can handle 1280x1024 at 76. Does anyone know what I need to change so I can get the higher refresh rate?
I am guessing that this is the reason for the poor display quality.

I do have DDC. It correctly recognizes the monitor. The problem is that the monitor operates both at 60 Hz and 76 Hz. I'm guessing the low-quality image is due to the fact that it is running at 60 Hz.

Apple TV 3 Refresh Rate

Why doesn't the Apple TV 3 allow a refresh rate of 24fps? I read somewhere that the Apple TV 2 only output at 25 or 30fps because 720p/24 wasn't an official standard.
But 1080p/24 is! The content sold on iTunes is 1080p/24 and Blu-ray players and modern HD televisions use this standard, so I don't understand why the Apple TV 3 only outputs at 25 or 30fps. In either of those refresh rates, you get a stutter every second or so when playing 24fps content. It's really annoying.
Shaun

Use this link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
The truth is here that Apple have always regarded this item as a hobby, and treat the item as a convenience rather than a quality media product. Even though many people may not notice the absence of 24fps output, I think it's one of those expectations for consumer AV devices now, even cheap ones.
One thing to remember however is not to confuse the refresh rate with the video encoding rate.
I think from memory most iTunes movies will be encoded at 24 fps, just output at 50Hz/60Hz depending on the connection.
With 25 fps 'PAL' or NTSC near 30 fps source video (eg from camcorders) however 50Hz/60Hz make sense but there would be further compromises if this material was output at 24 fps.
AppleTV 1 maxed out decoding 720p at 24 fps (25fps if lucky), and choked on 30 fps, but AppleTV 2 allowed decoding of at least 720p 30 fps, and the newer version should manage 1080p at up to 30 fps rates.
I'm with you and would prefer the lower film like 24 fps quality rates where the source is 24 fps and TV can handle it, there are counter arguments from those who feel more is better in terms of frame rate of course.
I think there are further complexities with motion artefact on AppleTVs beyond simple frame rate - for example I can watch a DVD on a TV and it looks smooth, but may see motion artefact in a file encoded for AppleTV of the same material. h264 may achieve better compression than MPEG2 but something must be lost.

Poor display refresh rate during playback

When I say "display refresh rate" I'm talking about the various toolbars, level meter and the clock. I'm not talking about the time coding like in frames of a video clip vs. minutes/seconds/decimal but how fast those toolbars visually refresh their information. In Cool Edit Pro 2.1 they were real-time. Level meter and clock would refresh at the max speed of 61 frames per second (limited by monitor). However Audition refreshes at what I am guessing is around 12-15 FPS. The level meter is like watching stop motion animation and the clock skips along by fractions of a second instead of a smooth continuous spin. That rate makes the whole program appear sluggish and the level meter bars do not peak, just the resulting tic mark appears. The sound is fine and uninterrupted.
It is not a hardware issue. This is primarily a gaming rig (Nvidia 280 GTX, X-FI Fata1ity, Intel Quad core, 4GBs RAM, Vista 64x, etc.). I do audio editing as a side job. I've used versions of Cool Edit Pro for nearly a decade on many machines including this one and I want to upgrade to a multi-core/multi-thread version to make editing faster. Is there a setting somewhere to set faster display refresh rates?

I don't think so. That would be the setting that replaces any form of Vista with XP, I suspect, and M$ thoughtlessly didn't add that... but you could try turning off every single service that isn't needed, and try unplugging any form of networking connection - the polling these do can screw the response of your entire system. That's why dedicated DAWs are built - to get around all of the throttling that your average or gaming PC does. Look for an app like EndItAll, and run it before processing audio. No, I don't know why it happens, but there have been problems with video displays almost forever with CEP/Audition - simply because as an app, it doesn't prioritise video.

Dynadock can only display 1280x1024 at 60 Hertz refresh rate

Hello.
I just installed my dynadock (VGA).
I run Vista Home Premium.
I have set up three displays:
1) the laptop;
2) VGA monitor connected to laptop;
3) VGA monitor connected to dynadock.
I downloaded the latest dynadock drivers from Toshiba's website and installed.
Everything is working extending my desktop to the two additional monitors ...
... except that when I set the Dynadock's display to 1280x1024 at true color (32 bit), the best refresh rate it'll allow me is 60 hz!
The laptop is Toshiba Satellite P205D-S6454.
The two monitors are both 19" 109P40's
The display is going through a Starview SV221DD KVM switch.
I have also downloaded and tried the latest drivers from Displaylink (who it seems makes the display adapter in the Dynadock, and has some newer drivers than what's included in the latest Dynadock drivers) with the same results.
Is this normal, or should it be able to give me better than 60 hz at 1280x1024x32bpp?
Thanks
Sean

Hi there,
I checked the specs on this website and it seems that the dynadock is only able to display 1280x1024 32Bit 60Hz max.
Heres the link:

Display refresh rate

Can anyone tell me what is the optimal refresh rate is for the T61p display with 1680/1050 resolution with the quadro fx 570m video card. mine is set to 40hz and max is 60 hz. which is better for viewing???
jay
T61P(6459-CTO) T9300 @ 2.5 GHz, 4g ram, Quadro FX 570M, Vista Bus. 64Bit, 160gig 7200 rpm HD, WSXGA disp.

Either DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X should be able to remedy this. But I am at a loss to explain why OS X would itself not allow for the 75Hz choice.

Macs Won't Forget Refresh Rate - LCD Refresh Out of Range

I have a new Viewsonic LCD for an old G4. I had to use an ADC to DVI adapter.
The first time I booted up my Mac, the monitor worked fine. I went into the Display Preferences and, like an idiot, I selected 90 hz because, like an idiot, I thought 90 hz was better than 60 hz.
My screen went black and the monitor said "Frequency out of range", etc. I have talked to AppleCare and I have tried everything and nothing I do gets this Mac to revert to 60 hz at 1280 x 1024.
Tried zapping PRAM, didn't work.
Tried booting into Safe Mode and selecting another resolution. I do that, reboot, it reboots in that lower resolution. I select 1280 x 1024 and my screen goes black because it's going into that 90 hz.
Created another account, didn't work.
I plugged in my old CRT into the VGA port. I was able to select 1280 x 1024 at 60 hz. Turned off the Mac. Plugged in the LCD. Turned the Mac back on and it went black.
It does this when you log in. The actual bootup is in 1280 x 1024 60 hz. I get the login screen fine. It's when I log in, into any account, it goes back to that 90 hz mode.
In Windows, if you select a resolution or refresh rate, a dialog comes up asking you if this mode is OK and if after 15 seconds you don't click on anything, it reverts back to the original resolution. Apple doesn't want to do that, I guess, because they want me to use their monitors.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You should probably just trash the preferences file(s). That will give you a fresh start with the Viewsonic. See this thread:

Max Data Rate: AGP 2x?!

Bought myself a new MSI-KT6 Delta a few weeks ago (MSI-6590), and have had no problems until now.
First up, my GeForce 4 Ti 4600 decided to suddenly die. Random characters on the screen in text mode, flickery colours and corrupt pixels everywhere. Windows wouldn't detect it properly anymore.
Bought a new Powercolor Radeon 9600 XT with VIVO today. Downloaded the new drivers, and loaded up some Battlefield, all good. Runs nice and smooth. COD, Quake 3, etc, no problems at all.
Halo, however... BAD. Even with the basic graphics settings and no Pixel-Shading, it runs at 4 frames a second, and nothing I do changes this, from lowest to highest with Pixel-Shaders 2.0. Although there's a visual difference, it's just as slow.
So I loaded up ATI control Panel and used SmartGart to enable 8x and Fast-Writes... Rebooted, lots of flickering screen, and Windows XP is now software-rendering everything (Transparent menus take 100% CPU to fade in)
Wait for SmartGart to fix my graphics again, and it's all back to 4x and no fast-write.
Loaded up SiSoft Sandra, to check the settings in there...
Mainboard: "Max Data Rate: AGP 2x"
AGP Card: "Data Transfer Modes Support: 1x, 2x"
"AGP Bus is unused or AGP card not fully AGP compatible"
Er... should this be right? BIOS wont let me select an AGP speed, it's "Auto" and I can't select it. I'm a little concerned that my Motherboard may have been damaged! I'll go get the latest Halo Patch, but it doesn't change the fact that I can't use 8x or Fast-Write.
I'm a little apprehensive about flashing my BIOS, made more difficult by the fact that I have no working floppy drive.
CPU: AMD 2600+
RAM: 2x512mb DDR 333MHz Kingston
AlphaGremlin

Well, I updated the VIA drivers, and an updated Sandra. AGP is running at 8x, and Fast-Writes are enabled! I don't know what the hell SmartGart was going on about, but it appears to slunk away and disappeared completely from the ATI control panel since the last reinstall of drivers.
So there's one problem solved... but I don't know what's up with Halo... I can set it to the lowest settings and it still runs like an elephant with three legs, even with the -useff option for Fixed Function shaders... ah well, that's a matter for another forum, eh?
Interesting note: Sandra reports my 120gb drive as 605gb... should I be trusting it?

Second monitor has a 50Hz refresh rate; my mac's lowest output is 60. What can I do?

I'm trying to get my 13" Late-2011 macbook pro to work with either of two second monitors so I can use logic more easily. One's a DELL thing with a screen res of 1280x1024 (though does work on some higher res') which I had working yesterday till I accidentally knocked the adaptor the slightest bit and now I can't make the second screen stay on for more than a few seconds whatever settings I try. Usually the monitor is on (ie not in power save mode) but just displaying nothing, and my mac behaves as if the second monitor is there.
The other one's a Toshiba 20WLT56B Tv with VGA input. The prob with this one is that it's refresh rate is 50Hz and the lowest option I have for my mac is 60Hz. Is there any way to allow me to output at 50Hz instead?
