Personally, which ever hertz refresh rate is the highest. I also have a 19-in CRT monitor and at 1024x768 I can get 120 hertz. The higher the resolution, the lower the hertz. The lower the hertz, the more flickering you will have on the screen (more headaches! :) ). Give that a try!

thanks NITRO1250
I went to my monitor setting and at a screen resolution of 1152x864 it would only go as high as 85 hz. Un-checked the box that said hide modes that this monitor cannot display and it went up to 170. Not game to go past 85hz

cheers

No problem. I may have the exact same model that you have. Mine is also a Viewsonic (black) CRT 19-in. If you fool around in your Monitor properties (right-click desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced btn -> Monitor tab) you can adjust your hertz refresh rate quite easily. Remember, you must have your desktop resolution set to a lower setting than it currently is to have the hertz go up. Try 1024x768 and you will have the option to raise the hertz to 120. Once that is done, you can easily use those settings in your game in stereo.

Enjoy!

Hi NITRO1250

Thanks for that, my monitor is the E95 Viewsonic.
I wasn't sure if 120hz would damage the monitor or not. Changed the screen resolution to 1024x784 and the highest refresh rate it went up to was 85hz. If I unchecked the box that says
[/QUOTE] hide modes that this monitor cannot display

Clearing this check box allows you to select display modes that this monitor cannot disply correctly. This may lead to an unusable display and/or damaged hardware.

the refresh rate goes up to 200. Would 120 hz really cause damage ?

Hi!
If you don't know exactly what you do, DO NOT crank up the refresh rate! It will damage your display. (I have seen displays after that...!)
My hint: Google for the technical details for your specific display and look for the maximal vertical refresh rate in different resolutions. If you don't find these infos, then send an email to the manufacturer.
Believe me, it's better than buying a new display.
Btw: Everything from 100Hz is enough for most of us. I usually play at 1024x768 and 110Hz, because the max vertical refresh at 1024x768 for my display is 120Hz and I don't want to stress it too much. And I don't see a difference between 110Hz and 120Hz. (But 85Hz is not enough!)
Good luck,
M.

I have the View Sonic E90 and at 1024x768, I can put it up to 120htz effectively. No problems. That is the recommended refresh rate that my monitor can do. Since you have the E95, it too should be right around that number.

Remember, take your refresh rate and half it and that is that each eye is getting. Most analogue TVs run at 60htz with 30htz for each eye. I have tested this out (in one of my college classes) and the flickering is somewhat tollerable, but after like 5 min, my eyes start to hurt all over. Not good. Keep the refresh rate as high as you can go.

Another hint is that the lower your resolution, the higher the refresh rate. If you go 800x600 (yes, everything will look a tad fuzzy), you can achieve less flickering.

Hi Nitro1250

Cranked the refresh rate up to 120 but got a black screen with a message saying

look here for the specs of your monitor and you'll see a max refresh of 116Hz at 1024x768 ... ;)

try that and report back


additionally you could try to install the driver for your monitor so that the system can properly identify the display and its actual specs instead of relying on DDC

hsv, Can you please tell me which driver and stereo driver you are using?

I am getting a freeze when I run the 7600GT OCE PCIe card in GTR2.
I think it will freeze all my games, maybe the only exception being gpl.

I have a Core2Duo 6400 with 1 Gig ram. Thanks.

Hi Nathan
using 93.71 video and stereo drivers. I get lockups on some games as well.

Rage helped me with some steps (see other recent post about "works on some games") and now I have been able to get GTR2 to run (albeit inconsistently) with 93.71 drivers. Thanks for getting back to me on this.
