Problem with refresh rate on CRT
I have a CRT I'm using the glasses on right now, and it only can do 100hz at 1024x768...

If I do the Nvidia test, it does display correctly at 100hz. However more often than not, when I load an actual game, and enable 3d vision, the refresh rate is lower than 100hz (I'm guessing 80hz or less)....

How do I get the games to run at the correct refresh rate? (And for reference, my desktop is set to run at 1024x768 at 100hz)

You may be able to force the refresh rate (override the game settings) by using the Nvidia control panel. Another thing to try would be editing the games config file and setting the refresh rate in there (if it doesn't give you any refresh rate options in-game).

Try locking down your resolutions and refresh rates with Reforce. Alternately, get Rivatuner and create a custom monitor driver which should fool windows vista into thinking your monitor will ONLY work at 1 refresh rate per resolution (obviously, 100+ hz).

After that, send ugly emails to microsoft for making stuff like this horrible broken in vista. Sometimes you just can't get over 60hz in directx10. That's 100 percent microsofts fault.

1.> Change monitor driver to SONY GDM FW900
2.> Use software "Refreshrock"
3.> IN some games DISABLE Anti Aliasing option

Awesome, thank you - I used the Sony driver and refreshlock, this seems to have worked.
