How do I get above 85Hz in games?

[MikeHunt79]

I want to run 1024 x 768 @ 150Hz, but I can only run CSS at 85Hz

I've tried ATT, and the refresh lock only offers up to 85Hz

Is there any way of forcing 150Hz?

Well, my launch line looks like this:

-console -refresh "150"

but it still starts up in 85Hz

Spud, just noticed yer post - I'll give it a whirl

Spud - I tried setting it to 150hz in ATT yet it still loads as 85Hz

Do you have an Nvidia gfx card?

HangTime: You may have just solved my problem. I'm gonna install the 7800GT today - hopefully it should work.

2 options

is v-sync off in your graphics card control panel?

also are we talking cs original or cs:source with either when your ingame bring down the console using the "`" key ( the one above tab ) and type cl_maxfps and hit enter, if its set to 85 thats your problem if not them i dunno

V-sync is off. It's CS:S, and my cl_maxfps is over 300 I think.

I actually press the menu button on the monitor,and it says "85Hz" which is rather annoying when this monitor will so 150Hz at the resolution I run CS:S at. (1024x768)
