    Is anyone else's laptop screen stuck at 62Hz? For the most part, it's not much of an issue, but the 1 major problem with it, besides being unconventional, is that it's not exactly support by Street Fighter IV benchmark (crashes the benchmark whenever you try to adjust any settings)! I'm afraid that the same problem is going to be in the actual release.

    I know the laptop screen can do 60Hz because when I hook up the HDMI port to the TV, I'm magically able to adjust the refresh rate of the laptop screen, from 60Hz and a few lower ones, but not 62Hz. Once I unplug the HDMI port or use the laptop screen alone, it's forced back to 62Hz.

    I already tried Rivatuner to override the refresh rate, but that hasn't done squat. Is it something to do with the drivers? I already tried the previous nVidia M drivers (I think it was 185.25), and it had that refresh rate too. I don't know if the stock one that came preinstalled had it as well though. Monitor drivers are generic PnP monitor.

    Can anyone confirm if they have 62Hz for their refresh rate too? Any help appreciated too! :eek:

    My p7811fx runs at 62hz as well. I'm not near it right now, but I do know that's what it runs at. I'm pretty sure that I have dropped my down to 60 hz before, but like I said I'm not near it right now or I'd check it out. Might be a driver problem.
