Issues with TFT and Counter-Strike

[old.user4556]

All,

I've just received my new 17" Hitachi TFT CML174SXWB, and so far i'm very impressed by the super sharp picture and rich colours (infinitely better than my 19" Vision Master Pro 450). Gaming is also spot on, with no ghosting or visible response problems.

Except for CS.

For some reason, CS looks like an absolute blocky nightmare with juddery framerates almost as if the monitor is working outside its native res. I've double checked and it is running at 1280*1024.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what's wrong?

Have you tried other resolutions with it? and what driver is it on? opengl or direct3d?

If it is CS it would be opengl, unless he likes very basic looking graphics.

Yeah it's OpenGL. Tried other resolutions, and it just gets even worse.

As I say, every other game is spot on perfect.

Cat 4.2s sorted it.

I think it was relating to the "CS going to 60 Hz" bug that was fixed in the 4.2s.

Returning to the main menu in the game Counter-Strike no longer results in the game's refresh rate reverting back to 60Hz when resuming game play

Cheers
