Tried looking around to see what affect this has on a graphics card but can't seem to find any information.
I enabled this last night and managed to get a further 600 points in 3DMark03 and around 7 FPS in Thief 3 and Counter-Strike source when doing the Video Stress test. At first I thought it was purely coincidental so I disabled it, ran the tests again and then enabled it and the difference was extremely noticeable.
This is on a Phi11ips Flat Pannel LCD/TV monitor.
Any ideas on what this actually does to the card?

I finish uni at 6 then working 7 til 9 so I'll see you on if my bloody friends list ever works properly!
Definitley. Been meaning to have a game over the weekend. After work I have College from 6-9pm so I am usually fecked after that. Will still be on though, around 9:45ish.
Up for some Source tonight mate?
That is all you get when you right click on the field as well, nearly as useful as Progress info/error messages.
With Counter-Strike source though it clearly states 1280 * 1024 is for LCD monitors only so this struck me as having a direct effect for high resolutions.
Thief 3 saw a pretty big improvement as well when I slapped AA and AF up to top whack, without them enabled I hit 60-75 on average anyway at 1280 *1024 so I knew that it was making a difference.

From the manual:
Reduce DVI frequency on high-resolution:
Resolves display corruption or no image at high resolutions (for example 1280x1024 @75Hz) using a digital DVI display. This setting has no effect when using a DVI-I-to-VGA adapter.
Alternate DVI operational mode:
Use this option if you are experiencing display corruption on your DVI flat panel.
Nothing of great enlightenment there, but there you go

I've just checked mine and it was already enabled so I shall keep it enabled.

I've seen that, but always ignored it as I think it's to do with which type of DVI socket you have on your monitor. Either DVI-D or DVI-I, one handles Digital/Analogue the other digital only

Within the ATI Control Pannel.
It also causes the games to be slightly more unstable which is why I thought it did actually amend the write speed for DVI monitors...

How do you enable it?
