Shall i use "restart.exe" or "restart64.exe" to override edid if i use win 64 bits ? (i guess it is restart64.exe but need to be sure because your first page is talking only on "restart.exe")

Running restart.exe on a 64-bit system just calls restart64.exe, so it doesn't matter.

- I have a contact that has succed to create a custom res by using "Extension Blocks" / 'DisplayID" / "detailed resolutions" that i have never used. Do you confirm that it could work better than using the standard tab "detailed resolutions" ?
- And, when you are selecting "displayID" you must choose between " detailed resolutions" and "titles display topology" ==> i suppose that the second option is not important for my need ?
- in fact, is it better to use "DisplayID" or "CEA-861" for my need ?

It shouldn't matter. DisplayID allows entering higher numbers, but you shouldn't need that for what you're doing. You don't need the tiled display topology.

Once i try to add a standard resolution for my monitor 1080p/60hz and do restart64.exe, after driver restart i can't access Nvidia Control Panel at all, or in rare occasion im able to access i can only see "developer" option everything else is gone like "3D Settings", "Display" and "Video"

So adding standard Resolution beats the purpose if i can't access my control panel to enable Surround or do anything else.
Is this a known bug or is there a workaround for this? The driver is Nvidia Studio Driver!

What about if you reboot instead of running restart64.exe?

I did that too i tried everything possible every time i add standard resolution the Control panel options disappear
As soon as i do "reset all" and then restart64.exe everything is back to normal
Very strange and annoying bug

I don't get it. You shouldn't have to add 1080p. It should already exist as a scaled resolution.

I'm trying to setup surround with triple screen which other 2 are only 1080p screens so when i go to surround it gives me single option of 3x 1024x768 resolution.
There is workaround if you add standard resolution to my Acer 27" 1440p of 1080p/60hz then surround will see all 3 screens as 3x 1080p so i can setup properly triple screen with 5760x1080 instead of 3072x768 which is default now.

So for some reason since Acer XB271HU has no standard resolution listed at all Surround defaults to 1024x768 as only resolution i can select

I have the same exact problem as him!

I don't know why he added a standard resolution. You should add a detailed resolution with the same timing parameters as the other monitors. Either way, the control panel shouldn't break. That would be a driver bug.

Ill try to add Detailed resolution, but probably its driver bug, will have to wait for new drivers from NVIDIA.

Thanks for all the inputs.

Hi guys wondering if you can help me out! I was on 1909 build running CRU and it worked fine when I set these custom resolutions for my native and game resolutions:

LCD Reduced
- 2560x1440 @ 165hz
- 1024x768 @ 165hz

Nvidia driver 442.72

and adding them the same in extension block, deleting all but my native highest (164.999hz) resolution.

Now I am on 2016 LTSB Enterprise with new nvidia driver 451.48 (tried reinstalling and using my old driver) and it seems I always get OUT OF RANGE?

I have messed with this a bit, and what I got working was running it like this:

- Delete all but native 164.999hz in extension block, copy this (Timing: Manual) and all the parameter values for the top detailed resolutions window.

This is all I could get to work, but trying to add 1024x768 at 164.999hz and 165hz says out of range when I load a game with that resolution.

Nvidia GTX 980
Asus PG279Q (Display port)

You shouldn't need to add 1024x768 @ 165 Hz. It should automatically exist as a scaled resolution. Maybe you had GPU scaling enabled before.
