Hi all
I have a problem with refreshrates in OpenGL.
I have used refreshrate utility, but still have a problem.
If I use 120Hz (my standard in 1024) the games is showed as a windows inside a black screen the size of my desktop (1280*970). And the monitor says 60.
In other words the window where the game is is just 1024 as a small window inside a 1280 black screen. And its still 60Hz
Hope you understand what I mean.
The problem is in Quake3 and Serious Sam. But not in Glide games or D3D.
Please help me.

Same problem here with the 1.04 and the Omega drivers... :-(
 
Tried even a clean install, no luck - all opengl games show the same effect, but no problem with direct3d or glide.
 
Also no problem with the older 1.01 beta drivers....

There a Fix you need to do this
Copy the older glide3x.dll & 3dfxogl.dll from driver kit 1.03 to game folder then rename 3dfxogl.dll to opengl32.dll
