Title: Screen refresh rate Post by: Lopson on 2005-07-13, 21:26 I'd like to know if I can change the screen refresh rate in the game. I play in 800x600 and because of the low refresh rate, my CRT screen starts shaking and bothers me quite a lot.
Title: Re: Screen refresh rate Post by: Footman on 2005-07-14, 01:41 if you have an Nvidia card, you can force the game to take a certain refresh rate in your Nvidia analogue display settings.

Title: Re: Screen refresh rate Post by: Lopson on 2005-07-14, 09:45 Can I set this directly in the Generations autoexec.cfg file? Or can I put this in the shortcut?

Title: Re: Screen refresh rate Post by: Phoenix on 2005-07-14, 15:16 No problem. You can also take a look at:
com_maxfps - maximum frames per second, usually you want to sync that to your display refresh rate. r_swapinterval (sync every frame option in the menu) - synchronizes the refreshes with the display to eliminate visual "tearing" when set to "1". cg_drawfps - shows your actual framerate when set to "1"/ Bear in mind you get better physics behavior with a com_maxfps of 125, but your display has to support a refresh at or higher than 125 frames per second to do this. My screen supports a 140Hz refresh at 800x600, so I can do that. At 1024x768 my screen will only go up to 100Hz, which is part of the reason I don't play at that resolution - that and I like eye candy, and I get framerate drop if I go up that high courtesy of my old, slow video card when it's turned on. ;) |
