Windows XP, like Windows 2000 before it, has a dirty secret. This secret is its tendency to drop the refresh rate of the screen down to 60Hz when playing full screen DirectX 3D games. So while you might not be aware of it, there is a good chance that you are playing your favourite games at only 60Hz, increasing eyestrain and capping your frames per second at 60 unless you have VSYNC disabled (see the tip below). Fortunately, the newer versions of both the ATI and Nvidia drivers come with a utility that can override this refresh rate limitation.
To override the DirectX refresh rate with an ATI video card:
Go to 'start\control panel\display' and select the 'settings' tab then hit 'advanced.
Select the ATI tab called 'displays' then click the 'monitor' button below
Set the 'refresh rate override' dropdown box to your preferred refresh rate, or 'same as desktop.' Hit 'ok.'
To override the DirectX refresh rate with an Nvidia video card:
Go to 'start\control panel\display' and select the 'settings' tab then hit 'advanced.
Select the tab that has your video card's name on it to go to the Nvidia driver settings.
Select the 'refresh rate overrides' setting.
Choose the resolutions that you commonly play games in (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024)and double click the 'default' to open a drop down box. Select your desired refresh rate for that resolution.
