Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

I will try it, thanks!

Apologize if this has been asked/answered, but I'm looking to completely disable 144hz on my monitor (or, obscure that as an option from Windows/apps). I tried editing the monitor profile at the top of CRU to set the max v to 120 but that didn't seem to work (with a reboot). I assume I'm missing something. As a background, I have Windows set to 120Hz and everything runs/plays gloriously at that, other than No Man's Sky which for reasons unknown uses whatever the max refresh of the monitor is when launching (but reverts to your desired max FPS setting in game once you load a save). Either way, this causes a glitch sometimes that makes the monitor desync. I've given up on NMS addressing this so I'd rather just nuke the 144Hz frequency altogether since I can't use it anyway at 4K without giving up HDR/G-Sync (or hooking up a second DP cable to it). Thanks in advance.

You need to delete any 144 Hz resolutions that are defined including in the extension blocks. The max V rate doesn't affect what refresh rates are available.

I want to try the alternate method but there is no .exe filetype when I click export, only .bin,.dat,.inf & .txt..

I wanto to oc my display on MSI GT60 (i7 3630qm, Intel HD4000 & nvidia Quadro M4000M)..

Then you are using an old version. You need 1.4.2.

Hello ToastyX! I was wondering if there's a workaround for the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, I know CRU doesn't work with it. I summarize: I have Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) and the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter installed. Everything worked perfect, until I had to buy a new monitor: Philips 223V5LHSB2/55. The problem is that Windows doesn't show me the 1920x1080 resolution, which is recommended for my new monitor.
If I install the latest NVIDIA driver (it was built for Windows 8), the monitor works flawlessly and is set to 1920x1080 by itself (but Windows start menu and Windows settings interface are out of control, windows flicker etc).

So: if I install the NVIDIA driver, the monitor is recognized but Windows goes crazy. And if I install the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, the operating system works perfect but the monitor doesn't offer the resolution I need, so everything looks a bit deformed.

Is there any workaround for that problem? Thank you very much in advance!

The Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver is not meant for everyday use. It's basically a safe mode driver providing limited functionality until you can install the correct driver. If the latest NVIDIA driver isn't working correctly, then you might have a faulty GPU. Make sure you have the correct driver. If it's an older GPU, you can find Windows 10 drivers here: https://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy

Thank you very much for your answer, ToastyX! Oh, I see. Unfortunately I already tried with the latest driver released by NVIDIA for my graphics card. When installed, my new monitor resolution (1920x1080) appears, but Windows works bad, windows flicker, etc. Obviously I have a compatibility problem on my hands, a shame. Anyway I appreciate your answer, thank you very much!

Hey ToastyX, thanks for CRU I've been using it since back when there was a pixel clock patcher with the overlockable Catleap screens.

I've recently got a Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor (5120x1440@240hz), and unfortunately when running the monitor at 240hz the 'Customize' option in NVCP is greyed out permanently, and what is shown in CRU for the screen makes very little sense. With this display using Display Stream Compression, is there anything CRU can do to add resolution options or adjust the VRR range? It is 'G-Sync Compatible', and many users of both the G7 and G9 have been reporting VRR flickering, but there doesn't seem to be any known fix, nor acknowledgement of the issue by Nvidia or Samsung :/

I've attached what is seen in both the 120hz and 240hz modes.

Thanks!

Hello ToastyX! I connect the iiyama 34" monitor to intel HD 630 via HDMI 1.4, but I can only select the maximum resolution of 2560x1440@60. I ask for help, what specific settings need to be made to enable the resolution of 3440x1440 with the maximum possible frequency? I tried to add a custom resolution in the Intel graphics settings panel, but it didn't work. Thanks!
