The 59Hz is actually 59.94Hz, a TV refresh rate. Windows7 shows it as an option for compatibility, but I don't see why it would apply to a desktop monitor.

59.94 half frames per second or 29.97 frames: NTSC frame rate

50Hz is the European A/C cycle

Some monitors are set at 59 Hz (not 59.94) for some good reason

I stand corrected.The European electrical standard is 230v 50HZ.

59HZ is the refresh rate.

so i can understand
why i saw difference in the game
what it has to do with the sim

Skouras, I don't see a 1920x1080 59Hz option. Did you mean 50Hz in OP? Changing to 1600x900, 50Hz made no difference for me but thanks for posting anyway.

Are you using full screen or pseudo?

[skouras]

full screen
i check it again

in the game video options resolution
i'm running on full screen no pseudo

1920-1080 60hz
1920-1080 59hz[ i check this one ]
1680-1050 60hz
1680-1050 59 hz....
..............

and so on so on

i don't change anything via my Nvidia settings
in Nvidia my change resolution option is the native one
in this case 1920-1080 60hz
so i leave it there

jimbop probably your native resolution is 1600x900 and don't expect to find a 59hz
i have seen it in many other games for example in BFBC2
