RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
ToastyX, if I was to install a new GPU in my pc, say, a 970, would that fix the problem with the Dell P1130 showing the other resolutions? Also, what kind of adapter would I need to hook up the monitor? It has VGA outputs.

Try disabling the extension block. Here's how my current settings are after a reboot: [Image: http://puu.sh/c7tG1/edef4ac97f.png] Window can still see higher resolutions even though I removed them. Games seem to have mixed results; Team Fortress 2 can see 1280x960 and runs at 119Hz without issue at fullscreen. osu! however sees 1280x960 and runs at 75Hz. Both games see the same resolutions as Windows too. In the past, iirc, games and Windows didn't show anything higher than 1280x960, but I could be mistaken. |

Intel is not very flexible with custom resolutions, and I don't have any solutions for Intel GPUs. NVIDIA is the most flexible when it comes to custom resolutions because you can also use their control panel. The GTX 970 and most other NVIDIA cards have a DVI-I port, so all you'd need is a simple passive DVI-VGA adapter. AMD R9 290 cards don't have analog support, so you'd need an active adapter that acts as a converter, which might have trouble with higher pixel clocks. Older AMD/ATI cards usually have a DVI-I port, so you can use a passive adapter with those. |

Found out the issue; I had used a registry tweaks to set the max refresh rate for DDraw stuff to 75Hz (was the max for my old LCD): Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 Found my 119Hz one, did it and rebooted, and now osu! works fine: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 |

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hello, I found your program on blurbusters. I have been running a Vizio M series 55 inch TV as my second monitor to game on for a while now but only as 60 HZ even though the TV is capable of 120. I followed the instructions on their webiste in in your intial post and I got an error message on the monitor of"Not Support". When I ran the reset-all program in your utility it seems to have killed my computers ability to run two monitors at once. The TV works as my primary but when I try to turn on other monitor from either control panel or Nvidia control panel, only the regular monitor turns on but the TV gives me the error message again and stays black until reverting to settings, which then turns the regular monitor off... I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

CRU only writes EDID overrides, so reset-all.exe should have restored everything back to normal. I don't see how this could cause the second monitor to stop working. This seems more like an NVIDIA driver issue where it got confused somewhere, possibly because the EDID override made it think a different monitor was involved. Reinstalling the NVIDIA driver with the clean install option should help if that's the case. |

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Quick question, and sorry if it has been answered but a search didn't yield anything quickly.
Using Nvidia Control Panel, there is an option to customize resolutions and add your own specified refresh rates. Is this pretty much the same as using this tool? |

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
After updating the AMD drivers from v13.12 to v14.9 the EDID Override somehow conflicts with the driver... When the tweaked monitor profile is used, then the "Use EDID or driver defaults" check box in Catalyst Center -> My VGA Displays -> Properties doesn't work anymore (when I try to switch it, it returns to the previous state), and it does not allow me set refresh rate higher than 60 Hz...
I'm running a Compaq p1210 CRT at 1600*1200@96Hz... I set up this and other resolutions (like 1280*960@119) via CRU and then I export it to the DAT file and create an INF profile with MonInfo... This profile can be used as a monitor driver and it used to work just excellent with AMD drivers 13.12 (it would switch automatically to my tweaked refresh rate when the resolution I tweaked was used), but with versions starting from 14 and up it is conflicting with the new drivers... When I use the tweaked monitor profile created with MonInfo, it sets the refresh rate to 60Hz when the PC is restarted... And no other refresh rates can be used... Can anything be done about it? Thank you in advance for any help... |
