If it's 3840 it would be +2? 3842?
Same for 2160?

Yes.

Well, it didn't work so I have 2 options:
3840x2160@60hz YCbCr 4:2:0 at 12bits so Windows HDR can be enabled or..
3600x2025@60hz RGB 8Bits (CVT reduced blanking) and windows is capable of turning HDR10 on.

I think I'll stick with the second option for a few reasons:
- Less pixels is less expensive to run games
- Not much of a difference from 4k.
- no color compression

The negative side is that it's not my TV native resolution so scaling can add a little bit of lag.

But for such a long cable that is not fiber, I'm happy with the result.
Thanks Toasty.

Hi all - I'm not using CRU for overclocking or upping refresh rates, but rather just adding a new 3:2 resolution to a Surface Book 3. This process was pretty simple with the Surface Book 2 - just added a detailed resolution at 60Hz and CRU did the rest. With the Surface Book 3, it resets to a black screen each time I attempt to add the new res and restart.

The monitor natively has a 3000x2000 resolution and I'm attempting to add 1920x1280 at 60Hz. It uses both Intel Iris and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics. I have a suspicion I'm missing a detail in the list of detailed specs that I didn't need to change previously. If so, how do I make sure that info is correct?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try rebooting instead of running restart.exe. Make sure GPU scaling is enabled if possible.

Thanks Toast. If I restart the PC, it restarts to a blank screen - I need to do a low-res reboot or restore to get back. It does this even if I don't select the new resolution. Even it just being present in the list will cause the screen to blank, both on restart.exe and reboot.

I don't see why that would happen. Does it happen if you make ANY change? Try adding a resolution and clicking OK. Then without restarting, delete the resolution and click OK. Then restart. Does that still result in a blank screen?

Hello there,
Just wondering, is it possible to damage a GPU or other components (except monitor of course)with this program?

No.

Toasty is it possible to edit the 4:2:0 capability map?

Not directly. It's better to delete it and add a TV resolutions data block and check "4:2:0 resolutions" at the top. Then add the resolutions you want.

Hello, yesterday i have install the update W10 may 2004, and i got a problem i found a month ago, but this time i can't fix using cru.
The problem is W10 don't recoquize correctly the monitors, i use 3 minotor DPx2 and one HDMI, the main display the one always working is in DP.
The other two can't be activate from W10, but only from Nvidia program. the new update, not working well with nvidia drivers, spikes lag / shuttering.
I have reactive from Nvidia program the hdmi one, but when i click on the other DP, windows get stuck, and i need disconnect the cable, and restart pc start working well.
Now i am using DP->HDMI cable for make this monitor work, but i have set custom resoluction, windows or nvidia don't recognize the max resoluction.
Last time i have fix using CRU, reset all and restart64, not if i do that i take shuttering / spike lag, that because nvidia driver from website not working well on W10May2004.
Any other ways to fix the problem? or i need wait for new drivers and then try again with CRU?
