Ati catalyst 3.6 refresh rate fix?

[Xenome]

Am I right when i say : The catalyst 3.6 drivers contain a refreshrate fix?
Somewhere in those settings, in ; displays, monitor, i can select a refresh rate at "refreshrate override". When i click 85hz ( that my monitor supports) i get 85 hz in games again opengl and directd3

Why do i hear nothing about this, and people keep saying "download the refreshrate fix"?

I dont have Cat 3.6 installed, I only got to 3.5 with the OGL hotfix (didnt think I would need 3.6, just intented to skip to 3.7).
Anyway, does the refresh rate overide enable different settings in windows? When I ran it, I got like 10 more modes (for example, 85 at 10x7 was max before, 120 at 10x7 after)

So this will fix the WinXP refresh rate bug on ATI cards?

The correct term is "So this will fix the WinXP refresh rate bug"
Still, no idea, I cant check it now... Maybe someone with ATI will.

the refreshrate override works. If you have riva tuner that has a refreshrate fix as well.
