You're looking for an option called WIDE/ORIGINAL.

Original is 1:1. 1024x768 with black bars.
Wide is "widescreen" aka stretched.

I don't know what you mean by "overclock" though.

when i try to play with the monitor settings, and get to the display section, i told you that i get the message "cannot be used, available in d-sub signal only".

Ok i see it now, but the wide/original option is greyed out and its selected wide, cant change it.

Hey guys.

Anyone running CRU and eyefinity? Looks like since catalyst 15.7.1 and now 15.9 there is some issue with eyefinity and any CRU refresh rate above the standard. I can get refresh rate on my XL2730z with DVI-D to display up to 120hz single monitor, but when I hit eyefinity, black screen and monitors lose signal.



Thanks!

GPU scaling uses the native resolution. To use GPU scaling, you'd have to add 75 Hz at the native resolution if the monitor can handle that. Otherwise, you'll have to disable GPU scaling and use the monitor's scaling options.

Try setting the lower resolution first.

That is not possible with CRU. Windows can only list refresh rates as integers, and the driver will round up 59.94 Hz to 60 Hz. The driver also adds 59 Hz as an alias of 60 Hz, so that would interfere with having separate 59 Hz and 60 Hz entries.

That will work.

The driver automatically adds aliases for certain refresh rates with TV resolutions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2006076

And make sure you disabled GPU scaling before setting the lower resolution.

You'll know if GPU scaling is disabled if you go into the monitor OSD's "information/system" area and it shows 1024x768. There's literally almost a 0% chance that WIDE/ORIGINAL would be greyed out if the monitor (not computer/video card) system OSD area says you're at 1024x768. That's impossible. (I remember even my old Samsung T220 had that option available).

If the information/system area says you're at 1920x1080, it means GPU scaling is *still* enabled. Make sure you created the resolution and restarted the driver and switched to it.

thanks, i've put the resolution to the desired one, and the wide/original was available, changed it, changed back to normal resolution and it has worked, thanks alot!

Hi all, I just subscribed to the forum hoping to get some help. First of all, mad props to ToastyX for CRU, I used it on my previous Packard Bell gaming laptop to play CSGO and I easily pushed it from 60hz to 100Hz.

I very recently bought a new gaming laptop, this very model, an Acer with a GeForce 960M. However, I did not know it came with the fucked-up "Optimus" technology that still uses the shitty Intel 4600 integrated graphics to handle Windows (unsupported by CRU). I did my homework searching the forum, found in this post no more hope. It's frustrating, because I have an awesome computer but limited to 60Hz now.

So, could someone either confirm me that I am completely, 100% fucked, or is there a way to circumvent the problem by, for example, kill the Intel graphics to force the GeForce (no pun intended) to run Windows and handle resolution, enabling it to push my refresh rate OVER 9000 (or at least to a good 90-100Hz)?

Many thanks for all your help Monitor Tests, you are my last spark of hope.

ToastyX already made it clear that Windows XP is NOT supported !

Hello everybody! My first post to the forum.. First of all, thanks to ToastyX for this awesome tool..

I hope somebody will be able to help me. I have a 2560x1080 LG monitor and a R9 390 with a short displayport cable.. tried standard, reduced and even copying the original settings and then changing only the refresh rate (manual) and nothing! not even 3hz.. it just gives me some colorful mess.. I've noticed that both default polarities in 2560x1080 are negative.. please help!!! my exact monitor model is LG 25ub55
