You say that, but then you show me both are happening. The screenshot shows 960x540 is being scaled to 1920x1080, so you need to disable GPU scaling by changing the scaling to display scaling in Intel's control panel. Secondly, that adapter is a signal converter, and composite video is intended for 480i/576i. Higher resolutions will not look good no matter what.

My bad I guess I understood you wrong but when its like the pic the display is clear but when I make the active res the same as the desktop it goes blurry.

I'll try to mess with IGCC and scaling. what about the conversion that you mentioned earlier where do I turn it off?

Thanks again man

UPDATE: still getting 640x480 sometimes, I dunno what it can be.

I have a problem, in short: making any edits using CRU changes the Windows recommended resolution and breaks 21:9 VSR.

I own a 29WK600 and I've been using CRU since forever to extend its Freesync range and delete some useless resolutions that cause trouble in certain games, and enabling VSR always added 5120x2160 & 3440x1440 to the list of available resolutions.

Now I upgraded my graphics card from an RX 580 to a 5700 XT, and VSR doesn't add these resolutions anymore, only 16:9 ones up to 3840x2160 if I use the same EDID as before. Meanwhile Windows shows 1920x1080 as the recommended resolution instead of 2560x1080. (using a clean Windows install after the upgrade, by the way)

So I reset all settings and VSR works again, and the Windows recommended resolution is 2560x1080 as it should be. I noticed that if I make ANY edits at all using CRU the recommended resolution changes to 1920x1080 and 21:9 VSR doesn't work (yes I tried using SRE too but it didn't add the resolutions back either).

I did manage to hex edit the EDID directly in the registry instead of using CRU and the native resolution was unchanged, so I was wondering which bytes determine the resolution recommended by Windows? I read that the topmost "detailed" resolution is used as the recommended one, but it's already 2560x1080 there, yet Windows insists on using the wrong one.

Hello.

Using CRU to force enable 7.1 audio to my connected Samsung TV, which is not reporting its capabilities correctly.

After running CRU and then the restart64.exe everything works perfectly, but after restarting Windows the 7.1 tweak is gone.

Tried running reset-all.exe, restarted, ran CRU/restart.exe, 7.1 working again, but gone after next Windows reboot.

Tried deleting all supported audio formats except 7.1, that worked after the restart.exe but after Windows reboot all formats were back and 7.1 was gone again.

Windows 10 (Latest Patch) - Asus 6900XT GPU for HDMI connection - Samsung QN85B for Monitor/TV.

If anybody has any advice, or can tell me something I'm missing. Do I need to put one of the restart.exe programs as startup so the 7.1 will stay enabled after Windows restart? Or is there another way?

Thanks.

Hi ToastyX,

After using CRU a couple weeks ago to try and change my refresh rate from 144Hz to 60Hz and learning that my laptop display doesn't support it... and after reverting back using reset-all.exe, my laptop that has an internal "Intel® UHD Graphics 630" GPU and an internal "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q Design" GPU now only shows the Nvidia one as active in Device Manager. If I choose to "show hidden devices", the Intel GPU shows up with the following message in Properties: "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45) To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.".

I've scanned for new hardware with no luck. After choosing to "uninstall" the device, the Intel GPU no longer shows up even with "show hidden devices". Using Intel's scan for drivers website, it no longer finds the GPU. Downloading and running the "Intel graphics driver" software for that GPU also fails to find anything.

Any suggestion on how to get the Intel GPU back? Using the Nvidia GPU to run my desktop is causing some major power draws and fan activity.

Thx.

Running reset-all.exe wouldn't cause this. You did something else that you didn't mention. I don't see how the Intel GPU could be disconnected if you're using the internal display.

You shouldn't need to run restart.exe after every boot. That sounds like a driver bug that should be reported to AMD. Try disabling fast startup: https://www.howtogeek.com/856514/how-to-...indows-10/

The first detailed resolution is supposed to be the recommended resolution. Export a file with the original EDID, and another file with the changes you wanted to make, and post the files here. What exactly did you change in the registry?

The adapter IS a converter, and composite video is a low quality connection meant for low resolutions.
