Refresh Rate Importance

How significant is the refresh rate setting on video card and monitor for performance ?

When I set my refresh rate to 85 on my card does it bottom out to 75 which is the highest rating on my LCD Monitor (Samsung 193P). I heard that you are limited by the Monitor's refresh rate? True/untrue/Comments??? Thanks AJ

if 75 is the max for the monitor, the monitor will ownly show 75.
i would recommend setting the video card at that rate... and, your eyes only see around 22 fps or so why would u need something other then 75?

On an LCD it doesn't matter. LCDs don't have refresh rates. On a CRT you want it as high as your hardware can go for ergonomic reasons. 75+ is usually comfortable for most people. Some need 85+.
