EDIT: Is it best to use the stock settings @ 75 hz or one of the Automatic? I've used both, and the numbers (front porch, sync width etc.) change a lot from the monitors stock 60 hz to 75 hz using 'Automatic'.

Most LCD monitors will not accept more than 75-77 Hz. The settings don't really matter as long as the monitor accepts them and the pixel clock stays under 165 MHz for single-link DVI, but AMD cards require the "LCD standard" vertical blanking/total to reduce the memory clock when idle. The settings don't affect gaming performance or visual quality.

Got it, thanks. Even at 75 hz, gaming is considerably better.
