i got 4.12 radeon drivers and got this new control pannel and have no idea how to lock my refresh rates, caz when i go to play games refresh rates drop to 60!

Your refresh rate will change with the resolution the game is using.

Eg 1.

You are running 1280 x 1024 @ 70Hz in Windows;
You load up a game;
The game changes the res to 800 x 600;
The Refresh rate changes to 85Hz.

Eg 2.

You are running 800 x 600 @ 85Hz in Windows;
You load up a game;
The game changes the res to 1600 x 1200;
The Refresh rate changes to 60Hz.

Try setting the resolution of your games lower.

Also, may I ask how you are determining the refresh rate while playing a game?

with older drivers when i go to control pannel i can lock the refresh rate but with this new control pannel i have no idea how i can lock it

in running windows 1280 960 at 85
CS 1600 1200 at 75
COD 1024 768 85

but with new drivers all goes down to 60 exept windows

Hm, you'r 4.12 drivers are outdated. You can get the latest driver package here. Perhaps that may yield the results you are looking for.

If you can't find an option in the control panel, perhaps you should also consult it's documentation (readme; troubleshooting document), or look through all the different control panel areas again.

Im not sure about ATI cards but with nVidia:

Select "Settings" tab from Display Props
Click advanced
Select the tab with your grafix card's name
Theres a list and one of them is 'refresh rate override'

There are some programs that can do it .. but I don't know the names ...

But easiest way is, if you could do it before the control panel, update to new drivers without the new CCC <- Catalyst control centre. There's an option to get it without the new one and just use the old control panel.
