Auriga 19"

Bulk Buy people.

I am having probs getting my monitor to go above the 85hz range.

Set the monitor to 120hz and even 100hz then when I went to play CS dropped to 60hz, did the fps_max and even tried max_fps to be special and still nothing.

Any help

OS - XP

ask crazy c or zereaper mine is doing someting because of dem to dudes

Unseen, first off make sure you are using the Auriga driver not just the Windows Xp Plug and play. The Win Xp one by default sticks you at no more than 85hz max.. Secondly what video drivers are you running ??? I would recommend 28.35 as they have refresh rate fix built in as the original proggy ceased to work from driver 23.40.. When you install new driver and then run refresh rate check the update button and away you go.

i dont know where u got 28.35 from crazy :| i ccant find em

just get latest nvidia refresh patch and ensure (like crazy said) that u are using the monitor drivers.

right there dude......

wonder why there not on the nvidia site :\ Weird..

so 28.35 is the best ? whats wrong iwth 28.80 [Blocked image]

Nothing is wrong with the 28.80 they run better than the 28.35 and they can use the nvidia refresh fix also.

Also it isnt true about XP not lettig things over 85hz as the plug and play one was better then the manufactures ones as it automatically let me go 75hz on 1600x1200 full 32bit colour and all.

Also higher scores on 3dmark2001SE if its what you want on the 28.80. Ive tested it and they work awesome.

Only problem keith is that I do that and yet when I hit a CS server it drops me back to 60hz and i have done all the fps_max stuff. go figure

Unseen as crazy said, make sure you are using the actual auriga drivers for the moniter as thats the only way we could get eater to run his. Keith the xp drivers will not allow this and that little box you unticked is there so that you dont damage your moniter so I do not reccomend unticking it (is that a word???)

Det drivers, so far the 23.11 have produced the highest scores for benchmarking but unless you benchmark dont worry about it, no matter what drivers you use your refresh rate of moniter should not really change, but if you do use old drivers just run the normal refresh rate fix, it works fine, any other questions, i'll check it out next LAN

1 question for you!

On eaters moniter only upon close inspection (he couldn't see it with his beer goggles on) I noticed the whole screen started to vibrate the picture around the edges, wondered if yours did the same thing, it was not constant, it only happened for about 10 seconds at random intervals

Way to hijack the topic reaps [Blocked image]

Clearly everyone has different opinons about drivers. [Blocked image]

Reaps, Tell eater to try and move an sources of magnetic frields.. That could be the cause. If not try the manual u may have to adjust something.

EDIT: One more thing Kurt, Go into windows display and run ure desktop that u r planning the run in colour you wont and see what refresh rates u get.. (keep the tab that tells u that it is safe for your monitor).. Are you sure u have re-run the program properly ? (Ensure that u set it to maximum 100hz rather than monitors max refresh if ure monitor can go over 100 in that selected res.)

has anyone worked out if there is a USB hub in the monitor or is the usb port just for show or does it help the picture?

I cant see the outlets...

eater, that usb port is for display, you run a usb hub and output one screen onto however many moniters you want, ie your one through that usb port

Raker you have missed the point The Auriga Monitor ( That they are talking about ) if set as a plug and play in Xp will only give a maximum refresh rate of 85. You need the actual refresh rate. As for 28.80 i cannot comment as i havnt tried them. The 28.35 were the best stable drivers with the fix at the time i was looking

Yes, but u can still go to 120hz but unchecking the dont display what my monitor cant do.

Wont recognise it??? Your doing something weird, did it come with the cd in the box? If so your loking for an *.inf file called auriga.

keep in mind that what Half Life will tell you is the number of frames per second its displaying - this is in no way equal to the refresh rate of your monitor. You could be getting 20 frames per second and the monitor may still be refreshing at 85Hz. If your monitor is set to display at 85Hz then it will be in CS, you just have to figure out why your number of frames per second keep dropping under load. This could be due to lack of memory, processor lagging under load, you might need to defrag your HDD etc etc etc.

LOL how is defraging ure harddrive going to help ure fps [Blocked image]

if the processor has to wait for data to be extracted from the tangle of your un-defragged HDD, you'll experience a serious decrease in performance - allow me to illustrate:

Both contain the same letters, both are meant to say the same thing, which one is easier (and faster) to read?

I have the .inf file in a folder, go to monitor go update point to the folder yet still nothing.

Old monitor had the refresh rate at 85hz and cs 85fps.

I do know what i am trying to do it just wont recognise the .inf file int he folder

due to many years of being desensitised to bad spelling/typing, both those sentences were parsed in exactly the same amount of time [Blocked image]

any constructive help?

Er no
the port on the back of the monitor is a terminating type point

And the manual makes no mention of using this usb port as a display input

Well I got the XP refresh fix.

back to 85hz but still cant get it to point to the auriga driver.

any help on that?

Kurt Wednesday night i am free i will speak to you and come arounf a help if you want

[Blocked image] working weds night, its ok I will mess around and try and get it up working better.

Ok fellas,

Have the auriga monitor driver but it wont recognize it??

hence cant run the refresh patch.

any ideas??

running 28.32 drivers

Forget about the crappy XP driver, just use Plug'n'Play monitor, and disable "Use DDC". Then download either the ATI or nVidia Refresh fix for XP, and this will allow you to set your refresh to anything you want (or if you cant do this, run "dxdiag" and use the overide feature on the troubleshooting tab.
