ive recently installed the latest pre release drivers for 9800gtx+ on windows7, all worked fine exept one thing.
my dell tft fpv 1704 is on 60 hertz? i was using 2008 pre release drivers and was on 75 hertz as tft is supported i.e. 1280*1024 on 75 hz
now 1280*1024 and 60? i checked the dialogue saying hide the res that this monitor cant disply. only 60 shows up.
and when i uncheck it instead of 75 it shows 85 hz,and thats not supported, ive tried selecting 85. any ideas??

You can rollback to the 2008 drivers until the 2009 drivers are corrected.

Well you could try and reinstall the drivers. But if you did not get any errors during your last install, then I would suggest that it is just a bug they have not found yet.

Hi
This post also reminded me to check mine.
After checking mine was on 60 hertz so I went to Control Panel- Settings - Advanced - Monitor - Monitor Setting (Screen Refresh Rate) altered it to 75 hertz - Apply - OK
Just shows you learn things and get your memory jogged by other members posts and replies
