RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi Toasty thanks for this utility.
I have a laptop with 3 external monitors plugged into it. I'm desperately trying to achieve a 1104x621 resolution -- so i can do better screen recordings. I have been playing with the app for an hour. I click ADD and then create a new resolution with 1104x621 and click OK. Then I RESET my PC (Windows 7) and thought that my new resolution would be available in the typical windows resolution selection screen. But it's not there. Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks! |

It might work with VGA. How about the Geforce 8400GS with HDMI out? I tried in another computer with the 8400GS and can't get it either. I also have a Geforce 6800 Ultra I can try with dual DVI outs. Are my cards just too old? What's the minimum card needed? I may have a GeForce GTX260 lying around somewhere... Thank you for your help and support! |

Have you tried the "LCD reduced" timing option? It's meant to help in cases like this. Even if 75 Hz doesn't work, sometimes 76-77 Hz will work.Alrighty, thanks. The snow can be fixed by using the default 'manual' timings at 73Hz, so that's fine. So far I've had no problems with those settings. I thought the "out of range" message on a monitor is kind of a 'hard' limit, so I didn't experiment too much. But I did try "LCD reduced" now and I was able to squeeze another Hz (to 74Hz, any higher values didn't work). Don't think it was stable, though (once when falling back from a higher Hz the monitor remained stuck). "LCD reduced" was also causing the video memory clock to be maxed out in idle, because of that vertical total being too low, as you said. (BTW, using a Radeon 7850.) |

Do you think i have a chance of obtaining 1104x621 with one of these? |

UPDATE
Wooo Hooooooooooooooooo Thanks man it works! I ran CustomModeApp.exe and typed in various 16:9 aspect ratios For some reason, it give me an error on most of them But I just kept trying and I found several sizes that it accepts. Thanks so much for your help! You're a genius! |

I also have a Geforce 6800 Ultra I can try with dual DVI outs.I'm not sure about the GTX 260. All the other cards are too old. 3840x2160 @ 30 Hz requires a 297 MHz pixel clock. HDMI originally only supported 165 MHz. You need a card that supports HDMI 1.3 at least. The problem is even though HDMI 1.3 is supposed to support up to 340 MHz, most video cards that supposedly support HDMI 1.3 can't handle that much. Only newer video cards have been able to handle 297 MHz reliably over HDMI. I would recommend a Kepler-based card or a 7000-series AMD card minimum. The patch requires a 400-series card minimum, but you might not need the patch with HDMI if you enable the extension block and import the hdmi-audio.dat file. |
