RRswitcher

Command line based refresh rate switcher for Windows machines. Uses Qres to set refresh rate and Windows Powertoys to create a keyboard shortcut

Prerequisite

• Windows PowerToys v0.84.0 or above

Installation

1. Either clone the repo or download the repo to C:\ (Any portable apps directory is fine)
2. Add directory to PATH (Optional, only needed for advanced refresh rates)
3. Change switchRR to suit your needs
   • Change the following code in switchRR as per the the valid refresh rates in your system

     if "%1" == "60" goto :set_rate
     if "%1" == "75" goto :set_rate
     if "%1" == "90" goto :set_rate
     if "%1" == "120" goto :set_rate
     if "%1" == "144" goto :set_rate

   • If you only have 2 refresh rates you want to switch between then change the following min_max to your refresh rates.
     The logic here is:
     if refreshrate is 60, change to 144. else change to 60

     :min_max
     IF "%rate%" == "60" (
         SET newrate=144
     ) ELSE (
         SET newrate=60
     )

   • In Powertoys, go to Keyboard Manager and select Remap a shortcut
     
     Set your preferred shortcut key (Win+F1 in my case). Add switchRR.cmd path to App and the folder path to Start in. Set Visibility to Hidden.
     

Useage

• Use your defined shortcut key to trigger RR change.
• If added to PATH :
  • getRR to get current refresh rate
  • switchRR to change between your minimum and maximum refresh rate
  • switchRR (your refresh rate) to change to defined rate. e.g. switchRR 90
