In Windows and some games are affected. Bad company 2 I think takes the info from my OS so its 59 in farcry 2 I can set it to 60... so I don't know In windows.. Definetly 60hertz won't stick. I'm stuck at 59 right now.

right click>Nvidia Control Panel>Display>Change Resolution>change to 60 Hz, try that...

honestly there is nothing to worry about if it's at 59Hz

Never heard or have had that problem. Care to elaborate which applications?

Ahem... Maple.. story....

I had this problem but the new 260 drivers fix it

 

[c00lkatz]

Create a custom resolution 1920x1200 60Hz Progressive.

I have rarely had this happen, but without doing this Crysis will only do 24fps max, with the custom resolution I get full 60. It's something I've just learned to do after installing new drivers, whether I have an issue or not. Can't get around it on my system for some reason. Though I'm at 1920x1080 on an HDTV.

 

[nzgroller]

oh right, um well i'm sorry but i don't really know anything about this

Didnt work...

Tried reinstalling drivers using driversweeper in safe mode?

Open up the OSD for your monitor. It should say what resolution and refresh rate you are running at.

The 59Hz is nothing to be worried about, a member at Guru3D explained more about it here. However, I do know that some games can be affected (Ex: BF2) since they require an exact refresh rate in order to run.

yeah thats how I always do my drivers. just did the manual of 59.999 it seems to be working

edit1: NVM. bad company 2 still has no 60 option

edit2: worked after manually setting as 61. Thanks all ya'll

 

[hodgoes2001]

used to also have this issue... 260 fixed it on my 480

258.96 drivers and older have a 59Hz bug. The official 260 BETA drivers fixed this problem.

Otherwise you have to create a custom resolution in Nvidia control panel, and set the vertical sync rate from 60.000 Hz to 60.001 Hz.
