Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[nolive721]

hello.new member here seeking assistance for thsi great tool that CRU is.

I am running 3 monitors + 1TV set up from my VEGA64 GPU.I am on latest beta RADEON drivers.

My 3 monitors are Freesync and CRU works fine to extend range from standard 48/75Hz to 42/75Hz which is OK for me.

Problem is every time I reboot my PC, I have to launch CRU disable Eyefinity set up then set again the range for each monitor and finally recreate Eyefinity setup for the triple screen setup to work at 42/75Hz.

Is there a way to lock this that I dont have to run through this everytime?

The reason I am asking is because AMD broke Eyefinity setup possibilities last year introducing Adrenalin drivers for people with setup like mine.

What I mean is that when you have the 3 monitors and TV plug in, you can not pickup the 3 monitors only to create Eyefinity, it will consider 4 screens are connected and it screwed up the display I want to achieve. When I play simracing games, I usually run on Triple via PC screen Option only in Windows and FPS or platform games through TV only via 2nd screen only output in Windows.

The only solution is to go at the back of the PC, unplug the TV HDMI cable, create Eyefinity for triple only then plug back the TV HDMI cable. A pain when you have to do that on top of CRU extended Freesync activation as you can imagine

sorry it might be a niche usage but any help really appreciated.

thanks so much

You shouldn't have to do it every time. I don't understand why it would reset. That's not normal.

yep.kind of puzzled at why?I just follow the few steps in your OP but then after reboot back to 48/75Hz freesync range

---

thats what I set up in CRU and how it shows in RADEON drivers after reboot

Doing some research looks like the bug is maybe with eyefinity.lo

this person had the same issue than me after reboot.
But recreating eyefinity everytime is not an option for me due to the additional problem with the 4th monitor

Are you using HDMI? With HDMI, you're supposed to edit the FreeSync range in the extension block. It's not supposed to show "Default extension block" either. Disable Eyefinity, and then run reset-all.exe and reboot. Make sure the extension block is readable before editing.

Yes 3monitors are hdmi but my VEGA GPU has DP ports so i use active convertor on each minitor

I can set each monitor fresync in the extension block while eyefinity is not yet created

After i set eyefinity then i open CRU to edit the freesync range but nothing is available in extension block except this defaut thing but no entry for freesync frequency

So it's creating separate monitor entries when Eyefinity is enabled? Then copy and paste the non-Eyefinity entries to the Eyefinity-enabled ones.

So... I just got myself a new DP cable, out of the box it just looked more "serious" than the one I was using, it's about 2 to 3 times thicker as well, but even so, I was still expecting it to behave just like the other (lower expectations, less frustrations xD).

Except it didn't behave like before... first thing I notice is the post screen: it used to "glitch out" a little during post and boot, like flashing dots in the background, from day 1 using the previous cable, but when it loaded up the system the image would go perfect again. Well this time, the image is flawless during post and boot as well. Went to mess around with CRU again, 3440x1440 @ 75Hz and it works like a dream, no more flashing or image glitches, I was able to make it work on the 1st try!

Obviously I tried 3840x1600 @ 75Hz, and, oh my, it works as well... nVidia Panel says 10bit RGB, watched a few HDR movies and Youtube videos, played a couple of games, ran a few tests from TestUFO, and everything seems perfect so far.

Turns out you, Sir, were right indeed xD. Curiously enough, I ended up paying less for this new, much better cable, than I did on the previous one lol...

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks again

Yes after creating the eyefinity group and strarting CRU there is one new entry that appears as active as you see in my snapshot

The monitor name is the one that i set as prefered display in the RADEON drivers user interface

I have limited knowledge of your software abiut copy paste features but i will try to translate what you are saying

Hi Toasty,

I'm trying to increase my refresh rate on my laptop screen with CRU, but the screen just blanks (black screen) when I apply the custom resolution after creating it and rebooting. The strange thing is, this happens even if I create and use a profile that has a lower refresh rate than 60hz (eg. 55hz) with the same resolution; it seems like my display is locked to 60hz and can't be increased or decreased. How should I do this?

Laptop Specs:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz, 1498 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics

Default Resolution: 1920x1080 @ 60hz

Panel Name: BOE0812

GPU Driver Version: 27.20.100.8476

You can't.
