Really sorry if this has been answered in the past, I looked on google quite a bit and read various posts on here.

I received the MSI 271QRX today, I was previously using 1080p but using 1728x1080 240hz. I'd quite like to use 2304x1440 240hz in one specific game but no matter what I do I cannot select 240hz.

And also the custom res only shows up in Nvidia control panel if I turn off DSC for some reason. I've tried with both DP and HDMI 2.1, I have updated the firmware of the monitor etc but I just can't get it to work sadly.

Not sure if I am just doing something wrong but I had no issues setting up and using my 1080 custom res so if someone could advise I'd really appreciate it

NVIDIA's driver doesn't allow EDID overrides or custom resolutions with DSC enabled if the pixel rate for the highest resolution and refresh rate requires two internal heads. You can use SRE instead: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Threa...Editor-SRE

Mane, thank you so much. Can't tell you how much time I've spent searching google today for a solution and you just solved it in minutes.

Not sure if this is a stupid question but is there a trade off between CRU and SRE?

The main disadvantage with SRE is you can't create custom refresh rates, but that's not an issue in your case.

Thank you again for your swift help with my issue. I almost never ask in a forum for help since i firmly believe that almost any software problem(even this one as it turns out) was already answered by someone somewhere on the internet. But my issue was too niche and the keywords to broad to find the solution on my own. You can be proud of the work you are putting into this and the countless people you helped over the years.

Do you see 1280x524 in the advanced display settings? Right-click on desktop > Display settings > Advanced display settings > Display adapter properties > List All Modes

If it's there, then it's a game limitation.

It is indeed there, i guess the game does not support it. But the fps are acceptable on hd, not a big deal. thanks again for your help .

Hello Toasty, I also have a monitor with similar specs as OP (aw2725df).
regarding this DSC topic, are there any downsides aside not being able to use DSR/DLDSR on some monitors? Also what do you mean by two internal heads?

No custom refresh rates either. Each port on the GPU uses a head, but to support higher resolutions and refresh rates, it might need to "borrow" another head. This also means you can't connect as many monitors.

Does DisplayPort have the same 25mhz minimum pixelclock threshold as HDMI?

please help. on my laptop after purchase there was adaptive control of the screen refresh rate from 60-165hz
then after the update it disappeared, I manually added the modes I needed with the help of cru and turn on 60 to save battery, but maybe with the help of this program I can make this mode again in which the laptop itself will choose the desired frequency, from the network 165 and from the battery 60 adaptively?

This is so good! йhave one question though. When downscaling 3340x1440to 3440x1200 to make the screen area shorter, I have letterboxing top/bottom. Is there way to consolidate the blank area to bring active area to top of the scree?

Hello

I've been using CRU since I bought an OLED C2 in early 2023. The software is exceptional, it helped me set the 3840x1600 ultrawide resolution as native in the NVIDIA control panel

About that, since the latest 556.12 driver, the 3840x1600 ultrawide resolution is locked at 60Hz only

There is nothing wrong with the CRU, just the NVIDIA drivers are problematic, as always

Several other users are reporting to NVIDIA, including me, waiting for a solution
