Quote:Alternative method for Intel GPUs:

If you have an older Intel GPU, use the "Export..." button and choose "EXE file" for the file type to export a self-contained EDID override installer. Then run the .exe file and choose "Install EDID" to install the EDID override on all matching displays.

I'll try, but... Generated .exe is an installable, or something that I have to load every time I boot on windows?

It installs an EDID override and includes an Intel-specific method. You don't need to load it every time.

You don't need to write to it. Just use CRU with it connected. Since the connection won't drop, there shouldn't be any handshake issues.

Well, IDK why but right now is working fine without EDID emulator. It only makes some disconnection-reconection sound after several minutes (it doesn't follow any recongniced pattern) but the best: it's keeping the 75Hz config.


IDK if is due to the .exe exported EDID or why but seems to work fine.

The clue is that RBT-v2 config includes a non-exact pixel clock, and I've down-rouded it to a known fractional freq (.25) that I know that is good for my screen (because other freq. in the EDID use that fraction). If I put the original pixel clock (299.42) the problems arise again with multiple disconnection sounds on power saving and configuration is gone sooner or later.

As you comment, wiht the EDID emultor you don't need to reprogram it... CRU works fine with it without any handshake problems... but with it I lost DDC/CI comunication (because Dell Display Manager don't work as it doesn't recognize the monitor, EDID Emulator has another Hardware ID).

Thanks so much for your answers and for your hard work.

1.5.3 version broke my LG G5.
I only changed TMDS value and restarted the driver now cant run the tv at 165hz not working.

TMDS value would not affect anything. The G5 uses FRL unless your GPU is limited to HDMI 2.0, in which case the driver would not allow more than 600 Mcsc anyway. Just run reset-all.exe and restart to remove the EDID override.

So I was looking to get true streched res on Valorant and I tried to make a resolution on CRU since I am on a laptop. However, my resolution with 165Hz does not show up on CRU. It only shows 1440p at 60Hz, and my actual resolution is listed under Display ID1.3 in Extension Blocks. However, if I try to add a streched res there, Valorant completely glitches out and does not work. Any ideas on what the issue might be?

Laptop displays don't have scalers and can only display the native resolution, so you have to use GPU scaling.
