Hey guys. I've been having trouble with running my dual monitor setup because my main monitor (23" LG) is 120hz and my second monitor (21.5" Samsung) is only 60 hz. My tf2 is running as if my main monitor is set ro 60 hz even though it isn't. My GPU is an AMD Radeon 7950. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have one monitor on 120hz and one monitor on 60hz. If you go to the Catalyst Control Centre and then display manager you can set what refresh rate you want each monitor to run at.
As for TF2, I think it will run at whatever windows says your monitors hz is set at, but if you wanna make sure then set -freq 120 in your launch options.

My CCC doesn't have an option for "Display Manager"
Edit: Nevermind, It just had a different name. It's already set to 120hz though. And the launch option for tf2 didnt help either.

I had an issue like that with my 144hz, what i did to fix it was use the dvi cable instead of HDMI

I'm using a DVI for my main monitor, while my second is using an HDMI cable. My GPU doesn't support 2 DVI's though.

Just make your 120hz as your primary monitor.. im runnig 3 monitors with 2 120hz and 1 60hz and you can choose whatever monitor as a primary.. Im using nvidia 680 but you can set it from the desktop without any drivers either way

If it says 120hz, in what way can you tell it's not 120hz?

As a note, you need DVI-D to run 120 Hz. I know my monitor didn't run at 120 Hz until I changed the cable :P

@ post 6, I think it is already set to my main monitor, but ill make sure when I get home.
@ post 7, it's not smooth like it is when it is running at 120hz.
@ post 8, I am using DVI-D with my 120hz, just not with my 60hz.

Are you using your monitor's OSD and connection information to see what refresh rate your monitor is really running?
if you're having trouble finding the connection info on the monitor, enable vsync and what framerate does tf2 lock to.

Everything is set to 120 hz.
And enabling vsync didnt seem to affect my fps at all. Its holding at around 400 steady in spawn on granary.
