📎 AI Summary:
The WindowsForum thread discusses an issue with Windows 7 RC where the display refresh rate keeps reverting from 60Hz to 59Hz. The original poster seeks help, and a subsequent user provides a solution for NVIDIA graphics card users to manually set a custom resolution with a refresh rate of 60.001Hz, which appears to resolve the problem. Other participants acknowledge the issue and appreciate the fix, noting it's related to Windows 7 rather than NVIDIA.

Hi all. I am new to the forums. I am having an issue with the latest 7 RC build. It keeps reverting back to 59hz after i manually set it to 60hz in both the monitor settings and Nvidia control panel. I am using a 9800gtx with latest Nvidia driver for my 64bit Windows 7 RC install. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know about you, but when I found this problem out I reported it to NVIDIA. Thanks for the tip though.

It's a windows 7 issue. Nvidia are not the culprit, however, Nvidia offers a fix as described above so all heil.

Hope it works for the majority as its working great for me.
