How to Change your In-Game Refresh Rate (Instructional)

Support Technical Support
1
If you have a monitor that supports higher than 60/1 refresh... here's something for you!

Navigate to your WoW Folder, Go to WTF, Open your Config.wtf...

Search for "SET gxRefresh 60/1"
CHANGE "SET gxRefresh 60/1" to whichever your monitor can handle...

The 144 stands for the refresh rate and the 1 stands for the latency for the monitor.

If you have a monitor that supports 75 hz but is a 4ms latency you would put
75/4
For example, My monitor supports 144/1 refresh rate... So I would put
SET gxRefresh 144/1

I'll be working on fullscreen mode as well...

That is my huge ASK right now. I have multiple monitors setup and I have already wanted to punch several of them because my cursor will SLIGHTLY touch another monitor and throw of my gameplay.

Not sure what we can really do though, as this is a "feature" of DX12. Sad day when we have to relay on 3rd party programs or otherwise to resolve things like this.

I searched high hand low in the Config.wtf... and couldn't find this line.

"SET gxRefresh 60/1"

I just added the line in and it seems to have worked imo.

If you cannot find the line "SET gxRefresh 60/1"

You can ADD it at the bottom and save.

Please make sure you are only putting what your monitor can handle.
