I have the following question: I have a laptop with intel gpu and nvidia dedicated gpu w/ an i7-6700HQ. In Intel's website I see there's a newer version 27.20.100.8190 of the drivers. Do I have to rollback to 15.45.31.5127 to properly use your program?
You should be able to use the latest drivers.

Thank you for answering.
I want to report my results. I don't know if you're interested but I achieved them through your software after all.
So the monitor of my laptop is LGD0469. I did the copy and paste thing and did a 70 hz mode. Restart and applied - worked like a charm. Then I did copy and paste w/ 75 hz. After applying, I got terrible screen flickering and tearing so I reverted. Then I downloaded your NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher, still the same results. Then I tried with LCD native settings and 75hz and to my surprise it's stable. I don't want to sound like asking for technical support but I have no idea if LCD native is stable compared to the copy/paste method and the difference between native and standard, since all options except for resolution is greyed out.

The numbers are grayed out but are updated to show what values it uses.

I have two LG 27MU67-B, both are able to use FreeSync with Nvidia, I use it in the past and a few days ago, but now it's not working anymore. Enable FreeSync on the monitor the display gets black and stays black, a forced restart or clean restart of the PC doesn't fix it, the displays are black or sometimes it seams to work for a sec and then stuck. Disable FreeSync on the monitor and the are work again.

I tried many things with CRU, at the config in the attachment almost all things are default, the only change I made is a 60.000 Hz instead of 59.***. With FreeSync on the monitor works at recovery mode, but not normal Windows mode. Enable FreeSync on one of the two results in one black display and one stuck screen.

Has anyone maybe a idea why it's not working or what can I try?

What are you using CRU for? If the monitor and GPU support FreeSync, then it should work without changing anything with CRU.

There is the Range Limit / FreeSync Range setting on CRU doesn't that anything? It defaults a Range Limit of 40-61 Hz but does not add a FreeSync Range in the Extension Block / Data Block, I could do that manual. Does this not affect anything at all?

Hey guys, in order to get Freesync working properly, I want to completely delete some resolutions from the system so that no games can choose that resolution. I actually want to keep 3840×2160 60Hz (and remove 59, 50, 25 and 24 Hz), 2560×1440 120Hz (and remove all other refresh rates) and 1920×1080 120Hz (and again, no other refresh rates). I deleted the unwanted resolutions from "Standard resolutions" as well as from "Extension blocks", however despite the fact these seem to be deleted in CRU, I can still choose them in Windows and also some games run in 60 Hz mode althought it shouldn't be available. What point am I missing, please?

My rig: RX570, Windows 10
My TV: NU8000 aka NU8002 https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/nu8000
These two things are connected with HDMI 2.0.

The reason why I want to delete all non 120 Hz resolutions is because in 120 Hz mode, the Freesync range is from 20 to 120 FPS with LFC. In 60 Hz modes, the Freesync range is officialy 48 - 60. In reality, it doesn't seem to work at all. That's why I always want to run in 120 Hz mode apart from 4K, which doesn't support higher than 60 Hz.

Thank you very much in advance Shy

The driver automatically adds refresh rates available at the native resolution down to lower resolutions as scaled resolutions, so 60 Hz would be available at every resolution if you keep 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz.

It does, but the monitor must support the range.

Thank you for prompt reply. So the only option is to delete 2160p 60hz... doesn't seem to be the solution I want.

Question number two: I guess it should be possible to exceed the freesync limit for 60hz resolutions, I think that 30-60 would make it playable. I read some tips online that this could be done by editing "V rate". Currently, this shows 48 to 120 (although in 1080p and 1440p the Freesync works down to almost unplayable, I mean low framerates. Much lower than 48...). I tried to edit the low value but it brought no result.

Additional question: Is there any way how to increase refresh rate in 2160p? It could theoreticaly work up to 64 hz so the bandwidth equals 4096×2160 60hz which is also supported. What do you think?

Actually, try making one of the 120 Hz resolutions the first detailed resolution. That might make the driver stop adding 60 Hz.

I don't know what you're asking.

Possibly, but the monitor might not support it.
