Hi

What kinda connection are ya using ? 120Hz is definitely gonna need DVI-D Dual-Link or HDMI 1.3, 1.4 or 2.0 becuase of the 165 MHz pixel clock limit. Could you take a picture of it on your camera?

That's most likely the issue then. I bought that particular HDMI cable from Fry's Electronics for $7.99 in the bargain bin. I'll have to get a better quality cable and see if that helps...

Hi Toasty, first thank you for the program. I have a pair of 670's in SLI with the latest drivers installed and a QNIX 2710. I patched the drivers, rebooted , created a custom resolution for 96hz, rebooted. Then I selected the new resolution through Nvidia control panel and everything worked nicely (verified the new refresh rate). However, I can't select this new 96hz resolution through the native Win 7 menu (eg right click on desktop -> screen resolution). It only shows refresh rates for 59 and 60hz, all while nvidia control panel is running the monitor at 96.

Also, when I started Battlefield 4 in full screen mode, it would only let me pick 59hz. I'd assume any other game would do the same, since this is probably related to the fact that W7 doesn't see this new mode. I did search through the forum and so far haven't found anybody having a similar issue. Would you have any suggestions?

Hi there
I was happy to try out this software to fix the problem of blur screen on my NVIDIA GTX570
unfortunately, no audio emits out after install NVIDIA drivers. before installing, there's audio but now the Connector in NVIDIA control panel listed it as "DVI-PC display".
Can you help me out ? I see you helped one soul who faced the same issue as me.
I've provided the REPORTS generated using Monitor Asset Manager. I'm using SONIQ 40 inch HD LED TV.

thanks.

Use CRU to import this file: https://www.monitortests.com/hdmi-audio.dat

Then enable the extension block and reboot.

If you're using HDMI on the TV and 120 Hz is not showing up in the Windows screen resolution settings, try importing this file with CRU: https://www.monitortests.com/hdmi-audio.dat

Then enable the extension block and reboot.

That's because of the GeForce Experience problem noted in the main post.

Either uninstall GeForce Experience, or try this workaround:

Your issue doesn't sound like a cable problem. If the resolution works on the desktop, then it should also work in games. It sounds more like a CrossFire issue, and switching to HDMI must have worked around the problem somehow. Dual-link doesn't matter under 165 MHz, and that monitor is single-link anyway.

Your issue is definitely not a cable issue. 1280x720 @ 120 Hz is still under 165 MHz, and most HDMI cables can easily handle more. What timing parameters are you using?

This is typically what HDTVs use at 1280x720:

H: 1280 110 40 220 370 1650 +
V: 720 5 5 20 30 750 +

If that doesn't work, the TV might not support 120 Hz input. Most TVs are only designed to handle 60 Hz input, and 240 Hz is likely just 120 Hz interpolation with backlight strobing.

You might actually have better luck if you try 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz instead. You will have to use CRU to import this file first: https://www.monitortests.com/hdmi-audio.dat

Then enable the extension block and reboot.
