When I execute the shortcut I get an error message (no entry in NV…).When posting a message, an extra space (After the comma) crept into this line.
Thank you for noticing. I've already fixed it.Great, using the shortcuts works now as well!
Using the 7600gt and 82.69 drivers it doesn’t work for 144Hz though, only 120 Hz. 144 creates a black screen. Windows control panel only offers 60, standard and optimal refresh rate. Nvidia tray icon allows 144 and seems to enable it, but checking in the OSD of the BenQ shows that it only runs at 120. I can only get 144Hz to actually work using the manual timings from above in powerstrip .Using the FX 3000 and 77.72 drivers it also doesn’t work for 144Hz, only 120Hz. But here also powerstrip can’t enable 144Hz. Not sure why, maybe the card/Ramdac/TDMS doesn’t support it? Windows control panel actually allows the setting of the refresh rate with this card and driver, but only up to 120.
I set 120 and 144 in the registry as you explained above for both cards.
Maybe it doesn’t work because 144Hz doesn’t use standard timings but needs custom timings. Seems like windows 98 doesn’t catch them from the EDID. Do I need to have the correct monitor driver to enable the custom timings for 144Hz? I used a monitor driver that I exported by reading the EDID from the BenQ within powerstrip before I flashed the EDID. After the flashing powerstrip couldnt read the EDID from the monitor anymore under 98. Not sure which OS I used before to export the monitor driver. Maybe I should try if it works under XP.
We can assume that PowerStrip makes its own adjustments (I encountered something similar in the beginning). Rename the PowerStrip folder in Program Files to something else. And reboot (If it doesn't help, go back to how it was).
The driver generally installs dual-channel video mode, and it accepts extended data from the EDID (as it is there). This is definitely not a problem here, at least with the ForceWare 77.72 driver I tested.
I only manage to set Dual-Link mode (100\120\144Hz) in the nVidia control panel, as well as in the game settings. Either through a shortcut (As described above) and only like this. The Windows Control Panel does not allow you to select any of these modes. I haven't figured out why this is so yet. The Benq OSD menu now shows "Input: DVI; Current Resolution: 1920x1080@144".
