Depending on the timing parameters, it will either work without LightBoost, or LightBoost will be active but it won't be scaled correctly. You can give it a shot to see what happens.

CRU doesn't deal with scaling, but you can add custom resolutions with CRU and enable GPU scaling in the NVIDIA control panel with the scaling mode set to full screen.

I also remember if it makes any difference that when I was able to use nvidia custom 1600x1080 res without the mouse offset cursor issue a while back before my updates, I had several additional resolutions to select in nvidia that arent there now, looked like TV/HDTV options, I didnt use them but seems the scaling worked differently when they were there (for example the screen went black for several seconds when switching from stretched game 1600x1080 to native 1920x1080, even if both modes were confirmed running lightboost enabled, now it switches instantly) any clue as to what that could be?

There shouldn't be any TV/HDTV resolutions when using Strobelight, so I don't know.

thanks a lot for answer!

I was wondering, why I cant see the custom resolutions I set in nvidia showing up in CRU ?

I have a custom 1920x1080@119hz res and a 1600x1080@119hz res set in nvidia, but can only see the default or rather the ones from strobelight in CRU as far as I can tell,

screenshot here of nvidia res + what I see on active monitor in CRU:



checked everywhere I could in CRU and rebooted but cant see my 1600 or 1920 @119 hz res there, am I supposed to?

because it seems my mouse cursor offset issue is fixed in the games menu when the desktop refreshrate matches the stretched refreshrate exactly for some reason, 120hz stretched ingame and 120 hz native desktop = no mouse cursor offset problem,

but the thing is I want 119hz stretched ingame and 119hz native desktop, managed to have it like this before without mouse issue but forgot how.. anyway, my idea now was to add the 119hz to CRU or modify the 120hz 1920 res in CRU to 119hz, but the values are slightly different from the ones nvidia automatically creates and some fields like back porch and so on don't show up like they do in nvidia,

so was thinking, if I could get my custom nvidia resolutions to show up in CRU, I could perhaps delete the 120 hz res from there so its not available for selection at all and kind of force 119hz desktop/119hz stretched game to be the only options?


again sorry if this is confusing lol, but yeah if I could atleast see the custom resolutions from nvidia in CRU to test few things would be great, if not possible I understand cheers and thanks a lot again dude!
