Hi there,
I'd like to know if someone knows a script or tool that I can use to automatically change the refresh rate in windows display settings to 75Hz when a specific program launches and then when that program closes it reverts to 60Hz
Kind regards
Have a look at NirCMD's setdisplay command. I haven't used setdisplay but it has a refresh rate optional parameter that looks like it will do what you want.
One of the examples shows: setdisplay 1024 768 24 90
i.e. 1024 x 768 24-bit colour 90Hz refresh rate
As for scripting, NirCMD commands can be called from a .BAT file or wrapped in AutoHotkey/AutoIt.
Hope this helps...
As @RickC says, Autohotkey lends itself to this- you could simply have a loop running and test for the presence or absence of the process, and launch nircmd accordingly. More simply you could launch the program and nircmd in the script, then have a loop test for the closure of the program and then launch nircmd to change the resolution back.
If unfamiliar with Autohotkey it has an extensive help file and a good support forum.
It's easy to write 1,2 or 3 line scripts to test elements of what you need.
