If you have purchased a graphics card with the Kyro II chipset, such as the 3D Prophet 4500 from Hercules, the consistently good speed and quality of the card is marred by a bug in Windows 2000. In games and applications that work with Direct3D and OpenGL, the image flickers at a low 60Hz. This is particularly noticeable with bright colors. The eyes do not put up with this for long and start to water and burn.
Only from approx. 85Hz Refresh rate nimmt unser Auge kein Flimmern mehr wahr. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob Sie unter den Anzeigeeigenschaften für Windows z.B. 100Hz bei einer Auflösung 1024×786 einstellen – wenn Sie im Spiel nun auf 1024*786 gehen haben Sie trotzdem nur 60Hz, weil die Einstellungen (anders als in Windows 9x/Me) getrennt voneinander arbeiten. Um trotzdem eine ergonimische Bildwiederholfreqenz zu erhalten gehen sie folgendermaßen vor:
1. Click here to download the program KHzTool Now go to the directory and install the tool.
2. You can then easily set the refresh rate for each mode. However, I recommend taking a look at the monitor manual before setting too high a value here. This can damage it. To be on the safe side, you should first set everything to 85Hz
3. After you have restarted the program as required, you can immediately see the eye-friendly values.
Please install the program only with the latest version. Driver version your Kyro card.
