Hi. My max refresh rate in ed options is 59.94hz when my TV is a 60hz. Any ideas thanks?
59.94hz?

Yes that is normal. It's the standard. It's a throwback from when everything was in black and white and they started to add color broadcast. They wanted a color broadcast to also work on a black and white tv so they just fudged the numbers slightly and made playback of color broadcast at 29.97 frames per second instead of 30 frames per second. The left over time was used to transmit the color information. Because it became a standard it's still like this even though it's not needed anymore. So anytime you see something like 24 fps or 30 fps or 60 fps it's actually 23.98fps, 29.97fps, or 59.94fps. That's longer to say so most people still just round it off. The exceptions are on computers. On computer monitors 30fps means 30fps there. Also 24fps which is the cinema standard is really 24.00 fps if shooting film but otherwise it's 23.97. This is a major source of confusion for people entering the field and using good cameras and cheap cameras. So to sum up everything is working fine, nothing to see here.
My old PC always shows that with my current Screen, the new PC shows 60 with the same screen!!!
Hi. Yeah its 60hz its a 32" sony bravia KDL ex 32703. Just noticed in the graphic option today as I always mess about with graphics in games to try and get the right frame rate and when clicked that it was at 59.94.
Would double check your display settings, you may have to manually up the refresh rate in the control panel. Had to myself when I saw a few games showing the same thing. Actually switch back and forth from a TV to my monitor depending on what game I'm playing, and sometimes Windows gets it wrong, so have to manually go back and correct it.
Almost certainly this is yet another case of Evil NVidia's false advertising.
ahahaha. Hilarity
My desktop is fine its showing as 60hz its just the game settings. Frame rate limit set to 60hz its just the refresh rate. option I have is. 29.37, 50, 59,94, 59.94
It's just a driver quirk. Your graphics card isn't going to slow the last frame down by a few milliseconds trying to match that refresh rate.
Let me try and be a little more clear. 59.94 and 60hz are the same exact thing when talking about tvs. Even if it says 60hz everywhere it's not actually going to display a picture at 60.00 fps because it isn't designed to. It will display it at 59.94 regardless of how it says it's displaying it. This is because the left over .06hz contains the color information for that second of footage. When you add the color display information .04 and the actual image 59.94 together you get 60hz which is what the electral signals in the TV (At least for NTSC. PAL is 50hz and it's the same thing there as well but with different numbers) This is true regardless of if the footage is actually 30fp, 24fps or whatever the computer game is running. Whatever frame rate the footage/game is, is played back within a 60hz electral signal which is broken up to 59.94fps frame and picture information and .04 color data. Computer monitor are entirely different but when it comes to tvs if you see 60hz it's really only going to be 59.94 frame rate. And this is completely normal and not surprising to anyone who deals with tvs, broadcast or good quality cameras that shoot video.
Curse this two post limit before I can edit my posts. I said .04 color data there a couple times. This is a typo. I meant to say .06 I got it right at least once in the post though.
Obviously your monitor is circling with 13.403,8 km/s around your desktop. Because of theory of relativity this is causing time dilation.
Proof
I was wondering why my frame counters showed less than 60 FPS with drops and tearing when I switch to a green team machine
