direct mode refresh rate?

I was under the thinking that the default refresh rate for direct mode was 75hz, but I put the rift into extended mode changed it to 60hz then switched to direct mode and run my app and sure enough low persistance was off and it was still set to 60hz. Is this the desired effect or is it supposed to be always for 75hz for direct mode just trying to make sure I understand how it is supposed to work.

    I was under the impression that Direct mode would always use the higher refresh rate.

    This may be a bug. Does this happen with all apps (i.e. demo scene, Tuscany)?

    just did some further testing today, the refresh rate does seem to be still 75hz in directmode (tuscany, tiny room aswell), but when i changed with the nvidia control panel to 60 then back to direct mode, it seemed to disable the low persistance while keeping the 75hz refresh rate. but it turned out pausing the OVR service then restarting, after the change, fixed that. not really something to worry about i think, I just was checking to see what would happen if a user did that and just seems pausing/restarting the service makes everything ok again it may also just be specific to me as after restarting today it seemed to happen only when going back to 75 from 60 then to direct mode.
