Info Needed

This might seem like a bizarre poll but there's a point to it - I need the info for my mod.

Thanks!

70 hz for me, 60 and under gives me a headache!

I have my LCD at 75 Hz. For some reason I have been getting a strange "tearing effect" whenever I pan the free camera. Also, waves will sometimes flicker where they meet a ship's hull. It's very annoying and my hardware had been working fine for a long time; this seems to have happened out of the blue. Adjusting the refresh rate doesn't help. I have an 8800GTS (640MB).

I have the same flickering problem where waves meet a ships hull, and I have an old ATI Radeon 9800 Pro! It doesn't happen in all conditions though. Possibly only when anti-aliasing is on, but even then not always - maybe it's weather & time-of-day dependent. So maybe it's something inherent to the game rather than your particular hardware & driver setup.

I have a 19" CRT running at 85Hz. Part of the reason I don't want to change to an LCD is because they don't tend to come in 4:3 ratio (in larger sizes at least), so SH3 will end up being distorted. I don't want an oval periscope view.

do you have vertical sync switched on in your graphics card driver?

Turn "Vertical Sync" to ON in your driver settings and that should go away.

Onelifecrisis, I'm at 60hz; because it's a widescreen LCD at 1680x1050. It won't do over 60hz at that particular res. But like someone else said, refresh rate may be a non issue with LCDs.

I could always notice the flickering of light colors with my old CRT at 60 hertz, no such issue with the LCD.
