Quick overview:
Falls Sie sich eine Grafikkarte mit dem Kyro II Chipsatz angeschafft haben, wie z.B. die 3D Prophet 4500 von Hercules, wird die durchwegs gute Geschwindigkeit und Qualität der Karte durch einen Fehler in Windows XP getrübt. Bei Spielen und Anwendungen, die mit Direct3D und OpenGL arbeiten nämlich flimmert das Bild in niedrigen 60Hz vor sich hin. Dies bemerken sie besonders bei hellen Farben. Die Augen machen sowas nicht lange mit und fangen zu tränen und brennen an.
How to overclock your Kyro II graphics card
Only from approx. 85Hz picture refresh rate does our eye no longer perceive flickering. It does not matter if you set the display properties for Windows to e.g. 100Hz at a resolution of 1024x786 - if you now go to 1024*786 in the game, you will still only have 60Hz because the settings (unlike in Windows 9x/Me) work separately from each other. To still achieve an ergonomic refresh rate, proceed as follows:
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 requested, the eye-friendly values can be seen immediately.
Please only install the program with the latest driver version of your Kyro card.
