Omega 2576 -> HL + MODs only 60Hz

well i have since catalyst 4.9 and omega 2576 only 60Hz at HL and MODs like CS, CSCZ

i have Radeon 9600xt ( sapphire ) card
the install settings are the default.
have radlinker 1014 installed

with the old version of Omega i had allways 80Hz.

is it possible to play HL + MODs with 80Hz now? ( new omega )

I have used DirectX overides to get 60 hz for some games to improve the quality using the latest Omegas, I tried the 4.9 cats and suffered the same visual quality problems. The game manufacturer said an older card would have worked fine or an Nvidia card. I will be damned if I am going to buy an Nvidia card because of one game, I would rather give the game away. lol

All you have to do is select the Display tab on the control panel, click on the monitor option, and refresh rate override to whatever Hz you were using before.
