Crysis 1 Demo Refresh Rate Fix?[SOLVED]

**Blom89** · May 23, 2011, 02:29 PM

In DX10 mode, Crysis 1 demo drops to 60hz refresh rate and it kills my eyes. I have it set higher in the CCC and the games settings have no option to change it.

Any ideas?

why does that hurt your eyes

Some people have more sensitive eyes like that, 60hz refresh gives me a headache to look at.

OT, no I really have no idea.. I'm not good with CCC

get new eyes? most games will default to 60 even with Vsync off

So you're saying you have a monitor that physically displays 120fps then? (only 3D monitors actually display 120FPS) Most every other monitor caps at 60FPS even if your GPU is producing more.

Chaob I don't think he's refering to frames at all, he means that actual refresh rate- IE, on the desktop and other applications it runs fine at 75hz (probably) but when he gets in Crysis it forces him down to 60hz.

I've seen this happen in some older games, but I'm unsure how to get around it.

IF his eyes are suddenly saved from their terrible pain by an additional 15hz (15 FPS displayed) I'll be dammed. I could understand someone feeling the difference between 60 and 120 but not 60 and 75 hence why I jumped to the 120hz assumption.

Is there a .ini or a .cfg file for the game? Settings maybe in it.

I fixed the problem. Alt-ENTERED into windowed mode, then back into full screen mode and it fixed it.

My LCD looks noticeably sharper and clearer when going from 60hz to 75hz refresh rate. at 60hz games are slightly blurred, just enough that it bothers my eyes.
