Configuring Samsung Syncmaster 955df

[ashehadeh1]

Hey Everyone,
I just picked up a 19'' Samsung SyncMaster 955df, and was wondering how I can get the most out of it. As of right now I play two games, Counter-Strike 1.6 and Mass effect 1,2 & 3. I'm running my desktop at 1152x864 @ 85hz, I play counter-strike @ 640x480 & currently Mass Effect 1 @ 1600x1200. The max resolution for the monitor is 1600x1200. Here are my specs:


CPU: I5-2500K OC @ 4.3 (done automatically with AI SUITE ii)
MOBO: P8P67-PRO REV 3.1 (RUNNING LATEST BIOS)
GPU: MSI 560 TI TWIN FROZER 11%OC
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE 1600MHZ 8GB (2X4)
SSD: OCZ AGILITY 3 60GB (LOADS OS + STEAM)
HDD: WD BLUE 500GB
COOLER: CM HYPER 212+ EVO (PUSH/PULL) Artic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
CASE: HAF X 922
PSU: ANTEC ECO 620W
FAN SETUP : TOP 200MM EXHAUST, REAR 120MM EXHAUST, FRONT 200MM INTAKE, BOTTOM 120MM INTAKE

Also I'm a little confused about something this monitor is advertised at 160hz, you can see for yourself here

but when I try to put 1600x1200 @ 100 hz it says "Sync out of Range"

1600 x 1200 at 68 Hz <-- that's what the specs show.

If you can run at that resolution at 75 or 85, will be fine.
