Amunamiak Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hi!I used to have a nice Core 2 Notebook with a Geforce 8600M, and I was able to "overclock" the display refresh rate in the driver, up to 120 Hz with no problems. Then, until recently I had Core i7 Notebook with a Geforce 460M, I was able to set the display refresh rate up to 100 Hz without any problems. I did this by creating new custom resolutions with manually defined refresh rates.Now, I have a new notebook with an Ivy Bridge CPU, and a Geforce 680M, but the custom resolution option in the Nvidia control panel appears to have disappeared... my guess is that this is related to Optimus, or the iGPU of the Ivy bridge, but I don't really know.Does anyone know a way to overwrite the default refresh rate anyway? I really liked the tweaked high refresh rates in my previous notebooks, and since the 680M and the Ivy bridge 3740 should easily be able to do more than 60fps in several games, it would be an even more useful "hack" than before!

dkw2000au Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 You could try create a custom resolution in the Intel Graphics control panel, but I.don't think it's as flexible. I used the Nvidia Control Panel to get mine up to 72 Hz so it's perfect for movie watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senthuran Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Im pretty sure the refresh rate for most 3d capable notebooks are no more than 120hz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
