Refreshrate problem

will changing your ingame refreshrate effect your frame rate as well? and most monitors I know of have a max refresh rate of 75mhz so wouldn't the default setting of "0" (unlimited) be defeated by the max refresh rate of the monitor and how would you be able to override beyond the 75mhz monitor refresh rate (if possible at all)?

btw, my problem I stated earlier must have been a q3 issue not a hardware issue because I think I figured out some of it.

Refreshrate problem

Well, i have no clue. I recently reinstalled my old drivers, and it seems this error dosen't occur on either the new or old ones, ever since i twinked my card with rivatuner. Thinking Perhaps my error was of a different nature, that's why it helped...? Best explanation i can put out, i'm afraid.

Ehm, many monitors support refresh rates higher than 75, for example, my trusty old medion something or other, supports up to 85. I wouldn't recommend, however, setting your refresh rate above the safe maximum for the model you're using, it can fuck it up. And as far as i know, refresh rate dosen't have any effect on the framerate whatsoever.

Refreshrate problem

I had a problem simular to that I think. But my problem was the OS and I think the gfx card was overheating, not sure though. I solved it by changing my config around to get the worst visuals and than gradualy make them better over time. Not sure if it'll work for you, my problems were connecting to a server, the sound and what was on the screen just froze, and i heard an awful sound. It didnt resolve after a few seconds, i had to shut the computer down and restart.

Try checking your drivers and stuff.
