Graphics Question

Carcrazy · Post by **Carcrazy** » 05 Jun 2007, 09:24

Will increasing the refresh rate of my moniter help WMP's graphics? No right? The visualations keep studdering slightly (I have an eye for detail in graphics smothness, and i hate studders.) I tuned teh card in the Nvidia Control Panel to not do any kind of special rendering, so it works better but there are still those little studders! Thx!

Increasing the refresh rate won't do anything for stutters ...

Did,'t think so... but what is werid is when I set my screen to a higher resolution it runs better (but looks like crap on this semi-old moniter.)

I can just deal with it... besides, I'll be upgrading soon!

are you talking about when you put it at 60 hz the screen looks like it is kind of flashing real fast ? i can see that too and it annoys the hell out of me thats why i run everything at 85hz

Refresh rate has nothing to do with graphics quality or stuttering. It represents how many times the screen is redrawn per second. 60 Hz means the screen is redrawn 60 times per second. Higher refresh rates reduce screen flicker. Other than that, they have absolutely no effect.

So refresh rates is kindof like FPS rates?

In a way. Look into how CRTs and LCDs physically render the output, and you'll see why a Refresh Rate is necessary.
