If your LCD supports 70, then go for it. If not, you are asking for problems, hardware wise.

Thx for reply man how would I know if my screen supports it?

Look up the system specs.

Not able to find much online, do you have the product manual?

Hey here are the specs for the monitor

I have a 6800GT
Amd Fx53
1 gig of ram
It does give me the option to change it from 60-75fps

Can I run it at 70=)?

What resolution are you running at?

Did you have to uncheck that box that said "hide refresh rates my monitor does not support" to get the list?

1280x1024
and no tha box is still checked.

Well, it doesn't say you can't....but.

When you run at max resolution, typically the refresh rate isn't supported to the max. I don't trust Windows on displaying correctly what the monitor supports.

For example, my monitor shows in Windows that it supports up to 75hz at 1680x1050.

My Viewsonic manual says 60hz max at this resolution.

So...check the manual, or call them to be 100% certain.
