Screen refresh rate with Celestia too low

Post #1by CarlosTheTackle » 22.07.2003, 11:38

Hi. I run my monitor at 1024*768 in 16-bit colour with a refresh rate of 75Hz. When I run Celestia and select 1024*768*16 full screen, it changes to a low refresh rate (65Hz I think). Needless to say, it looks pretty bad.

What can I do about this? I can't seem to find any setting to adjust the screen refresh rate. :?

If you have a NVidia card it's a driver bug that is present since too much time !

In latest drivers you can fix refresh rate for D3D programs but not for OpenGL ones !

Download the wonderfull "NVRefreshTool" to be able to set refresh rates even in OpenGL modes.

Of course. I had this prob once before and this fixed it. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Cheers. :P
