The pixel clock is limited to two decimal places, so it rounds up to the next possible value.

The test says it can't VSYNC, but my picture didn't show any gaps. Also, by adjusting the values in the parameters box slightly, I can get the actual refresh rate to get to exactly what I want. Which of these are safe/best to change to get exactly 120.000HZ?

Also, the 120HZ refresh rate is showing up, but not the 119.88 one.

VSync failure is a browser issue with the test, not a problem with the display. Anything that displays correctly should be safe to use. Most displays don't have issues with timing parameters unless the blanking is very low.

Windows can only list rounded refresh rates, so 119.88 rounds up to 120 but 120 already exists, so it can only list one of them.

Yeah, I saw that Firefox is apparently very bad at these when digging a bit deeper.

So how do I get Windows to show it? With my four slots, I guess I could do 120.000 (default), 143.856 (24FPS video), 89.910 (30FPS video) and something else, but that's a bit cumbersome. Maybe the absolute highest my screen can go? How would I find that out? It's a 144HZ screen, but how much of an upper bound is that?

EDIT: And do games with a 120FPS cap, for example, output EXACTLY 120.000FPS, or 119.88FPS? What are they expecting the display to be? Or does it depend on the game? If they output 119.88 then I can just set my display to that. Or if they don't, I could either set 119.88 as a Max Frame Rate in NVIDIA Control Panel and use V-SYNC, or default to 119.88HZ and use a script to change to 120HZ whenever I'm playing a game (still using V-SYNC). Would that work how I'm hoping?

The display on this laptop doesn't seem to be G-SYNC, so unless I'm wrong, I'd need to set exact refresh rates for everything.

Windows doesn't have a way to list multiple refresh rates that round to the same value. Some laptop screens can be overclocked. You would have to try and see, but I wouldn't bother since it already supports 144 Hz.

Game frame rates are not exact and can vary depending on load. You can't make the refresh rate match the frame rate perfectly without VSync or FreeSync/G-SYNC. Even if the game's frame rate was perfectly stable and the refresh rate happened to match exactly, there's no guarantee the frame would be updated between refreshes, so you would have a perfect line of tearing that never moved.

Thanks for CRU developer. I feel so fluent. Cool

Hi guys. So I read that one can use an AMD card and on a G-Sync monitor (with a module) from a few years ago and get freesync working on it using the CRU tool. Is there any truth to this? If so is there a guide or any documentation? Thank you.

No, that's not true.

I'm trying to follow this guide to fix an issue I'm having with games

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f...=806615157

However, after making the changes and running restart.exe, I'm getting no display and have to F8 to reset.

Any idea what the issue could be? I'm only making the changes outlined in that guide.

What GPU? Can you export the changes to a file and attach it here?
