Windows not applying overclock at startup QNIX2710

[mboner1]

I have the qnix2710 , was running 96hz without issues, updated my drivers to 13.11 beta 9.5 and used driver sweeper to to uninstall the old drivers, re installed the overclock , and windows NEVER detects it at start up. I can manually go to display settings and hit detect and it switches to 96 hz. But that needs to be done every restart.

This is on windows 8.1 64 bit , which i upgraded to around the time the issue started i then got rid of my 3570k and asrock motherboard and installed msi gd65 and i7 4770k and issue still persists.

The gpu i'm using is the r9 290 and the issues have been since changing to that from a 7970 and since using driver sweeper.

I have re installed os though, multiple times and still happens. Not sure if it could be a problem with my edid being deleted after using driver sweeper, or for some reason i feel like it could be a issue with intel chipset inf drivers not detecting the r9 290 correctly.

Any advice at this stage would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Tried re installing r9 290 bios, tried re formatting, re installed patcher countless times, tried a qnix edid i found online not sure if i installed it correctly, tried installing windows in mbr and gpt mode with uefi and without. Tried forcerefresh and similar programs, tried both bios switches on card and both dvi ports (both of which are supposedly dual dvi- gigabyte r9 290) . Tried reverting back to amd beta 13.11 beta 9.4 which it worked with previously but not anymore and tried the latest whql driver. Only thing i haven't done is revert back to windows 7 64 bit. Out of ideas.

Moved your custom resolution to the top of the list in CRU? If the 60Hz entry is at the top of the list then that would make Windows default to it AFAIK

I wish it were that easy. It's like it isn't having enough time to load or something, but it never loads unless i detect it manually.


Also in custom resolution utility it is showing up as HYO049B- DUAL DVI (active)* where before I THINK it was just showing up as dual dvi???

If the refresh rate is not listed in the Windows screen resolution settings until you hit the "Detect" button, then that's a video driver issue that I can't do anything about. It might be related to changes in Windows 8.1 that AMD would need to fix.

If the problem only happens when powering on, then try disabling fast boot.

It's supposed to show "(active)" if the monitor is connected.

Hmmm, i really like windows 8.1 but all these little issues are getting to me!! So the HYO049B is not a issue?

The "HYO049B" is the display ID. That's supposed to be there.

Alright, well it has started detecting the 96hz about 5% of the time for some reason now, Why i have zero idea.

Sorry man, i don't know where to reply but i also noticed that under device manager my qnix is listed as "generic pnp monitor" , should that say "HYO049B" as well??

It's supposed to be listed as "Generic PnP Monitor" unless you installed an INF file.
