    8600 GTS stuck @ 60 hz using 158 Forceware

    Hi. Its been a while since I posted here so please bear with me. I just built my son a PC with the MSI 8600 GTS OC. I have installed the Forceware 158.xx & I notice sometimes that some direct 3d apps are only running at 60 hz even though my desktop is set to 85 hz. I am an ATI user so I know how to get my 9800 to get around this. Is there a nvidia driver setting I'm missing? I was able to get Doom 3 to force 85 by changing the autoexec.cfg file for the game. Looks nice BTW.

    So can anyone help me with this? Monitor is a Sony CRT 19" Multiscan 400 PS if that helps.

    Thanks,

    Doh!!! I got it. I used the refresh override in the DX DIAG. Now we are up to 85 Hz & all is well.
