how do you change the horizontal refresh rate? what is the horizontal refresh rate and what does it affect? I know what the vertical refresh rate is, but not the horizontal refresh rate.

Why do you not know? It's not that hard.
Really, you have to be some sort of wind-up bot.

It was what i thought it was since i've never seen any horizontal refresh options.
But I've been told her it's best if ask questions, than make assumptions, b/c assumptions can be false.
Yeah it's better to ask questions than to assume.
It's also better to search eg. Google and Wikipedia for answers before asking.
I mean don't you have any sense of pride in being able to find out stuff for yourself, rather than just bother other people for answers to simple questions? (Asking other people != finding out stuff for yourself).

The horizontal refresh is the rate at which your graphics card is drawing lines when outputing to your monitor. It is closely related to your refresh rate and cannot be easily changed withing also changing the refresh rate.
E.g. for a 1024x768 display @ 60HZ refresh rate you will be outputing 768 lines 60 times per second, in actual fact their will be more lines as you also have to take into account the vertical sync and blanking regions which will probably add another 30 lines, this gives a horizontal rate of around 796 * 60 = 47.8KHz which is your horizontal refresh.
To carry this to the next step. You are drawing 1024 pixels per line, plus about 300 pixels blanking and horizontal sync. So your pixel rate is 1324 * 47.8KHz = 63.5MHz dot clock.
So the only way to modify your horizontal refresh would be to modify the dotclock and sync + blanking periods. Which will then cause issues for your monitor trying to sync with the signal.

Thanks for the explanation Capt. Chickenpants, I actually understood it. 
How do I shorten my blanking period? Won't that increase my FPS then since I should be able to fit more frames in? :|
