If the refresh rate reads 0Hz that means that your GPU driver doesn't inform madVR reliably enough about the VSync scanline position. That is required by madVR to do proper presentation. This is a rare problem, but some people have it. It's mostly a problem on XP, though, so I'm surprised you have this with win8. I'd suggest that you update to the latest drivers, to make sure. You could also try updating your GPU BIOS, maybe that helps...
