Editing WoW:CVar gxRefresh

{{cvar}}

===This cvar is currently bugged.  The only in-game setting you can use is 60Hz.===

This cvar controls your [[CVar gxVSync|VSync]] refresh rate - aka your max FPS while [[CVar gxVSync|VSync]] is on.  This CVar will change itself to match your monitor's refresh rate the first time you launch wow.

==Default Setting==
;75

==Possible Settings==
You generally don't wish to change this setting as wow will usually auto-detect this correctly (bug not-withstanding).
;60 (Hz):Most LCD Monitors
;75 (Hz):Most CRT Monitors
;120 (Hz):Special gaming monitors - in WoW, these are meant for use with the Nvidia 3D goggles.

==Changing this setting==
In-game, type the following
 /console gxRefresh setting

Alternatively, you can exit wow, open the [[Config.wtf]] file, and add the following line:
 SET gxRefresh setting

==Fix for current issue==
When wow loads, it'll automatically reset gxRefresh back to 60Hz.  However, to get around this you can edit your [[Config.wtf]] file to 75/120, save it, then set the file to read-only.

Please note that setting this file to read-only will keep wow from saving any engine, graphics or sound changes.

==Patches==
{{patch 3.2|note=60Hz is the only option supported by the game engine due to a bug. See above to get around it.}}
{{patch 3.0.8|note=120Hz added for support of Nvidia 3D goggles.}}
