The G-Sync range for this monitor is 30-120fps so it's looks odd that flickering appears at higher fps but I still tried using your tool in order to extend G-Sync range.
I clicked on Edit at the top of CRU, set V rate to 20-120fps, ticked "Include if slot available", clicked ok & launched restart64.exe.
But flickers are still there in Pendulum demo & games. Did I miss someting ?

CRU can't edit G-SYNC ranges, only FreeSync, and extending the range wouldn't fix flickering anyway.

Hello, I have here an ASUS ROG XG27VQ gaming monitor. It supports ASUS ELMB, which is a strobing blur reduction technology very similar to Nvidia Lightboost.

However, the monitor will only allow you to enable ELMB at 120Hz; no other refresh rates are allowed. This would be fine, but when using AMD Virtual Super Resolution, the only available refresh rate is the maximum, 144Hz. That means I can't enable motion blur reduction while using VSR, which is a significant negative compared to Nvidia's competing solution, DSR.

Opening CRU, I don't see any obvious way to modify the resolutions or refresh rates used for Virtual Super Resolution. Pardon my ignorance, but is such a thing possible using CRU? Thanks in advance.

VSR is supposed to be available for all refresh rates at the native resolution. Maybe the result is different if FreeSync is enabled.

First, Toasty, your CRU has been the most helpful tool in trying to zoom out in Age of Empires 2 for me so THANK YOU, but I have only been able to create a custom resolution of 2560x1440 60hz, but not use it.

I bought an Acer XF251Q and I have a AMD Radeon HD 8490 graphics card with Catalyst Control Center for Windows 10. Currently using DP(CPU) to HDMI (Monitor).

When I try to use my custom resolution of 2560x1440 my monitor reads "input not supported". I have tried playing with the different timing standards, Automatic LCD Standard/native/reduced but cannot get it to work. At this point I do not know if I will be able to force the 2560x1440 so I am asking for you to please help me get this to work. What do I need to do?

That's a 1920x1080 monitor. It's not going to support 2560x1440. The only way to get 2560x1440 in that case is to use Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) through your GPU, but I don't think AMD supports VSR with the HD 8490.

Thanks Toasty, when I wasn’t able to pull of the VSR through Catalyst Control Center I had a feeling it wasn’t going to work.

Hello,

I got a question. I have a benq 2546 240hz monitor but my gpu dont show the 1280x960 resolution.

Whats is better? Lcd standar, lcd native or lcd reduced for 240hz and good clock?

LCD standar: 240hz / 259.201 kHz / 373.25 mhz
LCD native: 240hz / 237.125 kHz / 341.46 mhz
LCD reduced 240hz / 234.005 hHz / 320.12 mhz

Display scaling or gpu scaling?
Thanks!

If you use GPU scaling, the timing doesn't matter. If you use display scaling, it depends on what the monitor supports. LCD standard or native is most likely to work, but no guarantees. You'll have to try and see what works.

I try both and i can use all. So whats timming is better? Thanks so much!

I've been having stuttering issues on both my laptop and PC under 60fps. And I was wondering if this could help with it. The problems have persisted ever since i got both and I dont know if I'm unlucky or something, It's been 2 years and I havent found anyone with the same issue. Thing is, every single game, no matter what year it was made, if I'm under 60, it stutters regardless of Vsync. I mean even if i lock the frame to 55 on a game that i can easily get 60 on, it stutters.
I am just tired, its been 2 years and I have completely given up on gaming because I couldnt find anyone with the same issue. Do you think playing around with refresh and all that can help with it?
