Yes, I think that's the problem because I had the same thing with my
Monster 3D.
You have to select another monitor from the list (Display Settings ->
Monitor) which support a higher refresh-rate. Just take an expensive one...
Then you can choose another refresh-rate for the Monster. When you "fooled"
the card, select your old Monitor setting. It worked for me !!!
