The device is a GPD WIN 3, with an integrated Intel Iris graphic and a "digital flat panel" by the device manager drivers...
Intel's driver does not allow custom resolutions or EDID overrides with some internal displays.

However, I have two questions:

Is it better to choose CVT-RB2, and block the pixel clock at 330 (and thus go from 144hz to 142hz) or to choose CVT-RB, even though the pixel clock exceeds that of my monitor?

- Can changing all this cause changes in the display? I know that if we switch to CVT-RB via the AMD software, the colors are degraded for example.
You're leaving out a lot of information. What video card? What monitor? What connection: DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort? What resolution? I'm assuming 1920x1080. How are you determining the maximum pixel clock? The timing parameters should not affect the visible image. How are the colors degraded?

I have a rx6800, 144hz 1080p monitor ( AOC 24G2U, displayport) and 60hz 1080p monitor (BenQ GW2480, hdmi).
I saw the maximum pixel clock of my monitor in CRU, where you can check the monitors informations.
I tested both cvt-rb and cvt-rb2, and both of them make the VRAM frequency go down to an acceptable level.
My question is: is it better to choose CVT-RB, and exceed the pixel clock of my monitor, or CVT-RB2 which is almost the same pixel clock of my monitor ?

My monitor pixel clock : 330
CVT-RB pixel clock : 346
CVT-RB2 pixel clock : 332

I can cap the hertz to 142, to stay at 330 pixel clock with CVT-RB2.

The colors are degraded with the AMD software, because it's decreasing from 8 bits to 6 bits, I dont know why.

The limit reported by the monitor is not important. The monitor probably uses DisplayPort HBR mode with 4 lanes, which supports up to 360 MHz pixel clock at 8 bpc, so you can use either CVT-RB or CVT-RB2 at 144 Hz without a problem. If CVT-RB2 works fine, use that. If you exceed 360 MHz, the color depth will automatically drop down to 6 bpc, so if that's happening when using CVT-RB with AMD's software even though the pixel clock should be below that point, then it must be a driver bug.

It does appear that this chip isn't able to support VRR. I'll have to look out for an adapter that does use ps196. Thanks.

Okay, thank you very much for the information

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi there,

I was hoping to get some help. I have tried a few different tutorials posted online and on forums, but I have been unsuccessful in adding 1440x1080 @ 390hz as a custom resolution. I have the following:
  • Acer AOPEN Fire Legend 25XV2Q 390hz monitor
  • GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME
  • KabelDirekt 10ft DisplayPort, DP 1.4, VESA-Certified
  • Windows 10 21H2

Someone posted this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZEM6Qhw0N0) of them applying this custom resolution to their Acer Nitro 390Hz which is supposedly the same panel.

I don't know if that is even the best way to force display scaling at those resolutions for a refresh rate as high as 390hz. I have been able to create a custom resolution of 1440x1080 in the Nvidia control panel, which I believe creates the resolution and timings at 60hz and then GPU scales (I could definitely be wrong). However, it deletes itself after I restart my PC so it isn't much of an alternative. Maybe that will give some insight as to what is going on with everything. Thanks in advance! Smile

Unsuccessful how? What happens?

The res just doesn't appear as a possible mode. No errors or anything. Just doesn't show up in the list.

Then you'll have to show me exactly what you're doing. Export a file with the changes and post it here.
