Got an Samsung g7 1440p. 240hz. When i Enter a lower res at 1600x1200 for cs i get 320hz and for 1770x990 360hz. Pasning ufo tests etc

Heres the Big problem. I love playing 4:3 stretched in cs. Buuuut here we go as soon as i go to amd driver enable gpu scaling to fill the screen it goes Down to 240hz… if i disable gpu scaling i Can run it at 360hz. But want it stretched. Is there a work around for this ???
GPU scaling is for scaling to the native resolution, which only has 240 Hz. You need to change the scaling in the monitor's menu.

I Will look for it. Just that i need it to stretch the screen. If i dont have scaling in amd driver its not stretching out the image then i get Black bars

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hello, after purchasing the Asus pg329q, it was possible to use 120Hz (which allowed the use of a 10-bit color depth). Like any decent person with a high level of trust in the manufacturer, a month after the release of the new firmware, the monitor was updated, there was no limit to surprise... 120Hz evaporated, leaving behind the sadness of 60Hz with a depth of 10bit or 144Hz and 165Hz in 8bit. There is no doubt that the chance of getting old firmware is critically small.
I really want to replace the existing 165Hz profile with 120Hz, but I'm worried that I'll screw it up. Maybe there is an owner of a device with old firmware who is ready to put a screenshot from the Custom Resolution Utility for 120Hz settings?

Issue with CVT-RB2
Hello,

I have the Acer XV273K monitor (4K, 120Hz(-144Hz with Dual DP), Ports: 2 x DisplayPort 1.4 & 2 x HDMI 2.0) (https://www.displayspecifications.com/de/model/407f14c5) and a RTX 3080 (Ports: 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a & 2 x HDMI 2.1).
I have had some issues with Black Screens and Alt-Tabbing for a while.
For example, I would Alt-Tab out of GTA V and the screen would go black for a few seconds as if the resolution or refresh rate were being changed. But nothing was changed and it annoyed me.
Then I stumbled upon this Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/com...lttabbing/) where a guy describes my problem and says it's because of DSC. After that, I got into a 4-hour rabbit hole of CRU, and now I know a lot more about it than I would like to.
My issue now:
In CRU if I add a DisplayID 1.3 extension block and add a Detailed Resolution of 3840x2160 with "CVT-RB standard" selected I can use 120Hz and even more with no problems. To avoid DSC, I need to use a refresh rate under 118.2Hz and use 8 bpc and RGB (as per calculator: https://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-g...mulas=show)
       
as the monitor only has DP 1.4 and the RTX 3080 only supports DP 1.4a. Altough another site says max. 116.8Hz. (https://tomverbeure.github.io/video_timings_calculator) This also works (although between ~117.8Hz and 119Hz I get some weird jittering of the whole screen, so I just use 116.700Hz).
   
If I select "CVT-RB2 standard" I should be able to go as high as 120.4Hz,
(calculator: https://linustechtips.com/topic/729232-g...mulas=show)
but I can't.
If I use CVT-RB2, the screen goes crazy with artifacts and green colors and flickering as if he doesn't recognize the signal or something. This only happens with < ~60Hz and sometimes up to ~80Hz, and sometimes I can only go up to 30Hz. It's random?
       
I already tried two different 1.4 DP cables (PI5010-020 & BN39-01879N) and recalculated the values that would be needed for CVT-RB2 (https://tomverbeure.github.io/video_timings_calculator) but they were always correct.

I never use the Dual DP mode in the OSD of the monitor for 144Hz as it activates some input lag.
In OSD, the DP Format is set to 1.4, HDMI Black Level on Normal, FreeSync on On, HDR on Off, 4K-144Hz Mode on Off, Wide Mode on Aspect, Color Space on Standard.
Do some monitors just not support CVT-RB2? Or do I have some other settings wrong?

CVT-RB2 is a newer standard that some monitors don't support, but it's not necessary. You can start with CVT-RB and then manually reduce the blanking/totals to reduce the pixel clock. Those calculators don't tell you the pixel clock limit, which is the most important point. DisplayPort 4-lane HBR3 is limited to 1080 MHz pixel clock at 8 bpc without DSC. Usually it's the reduced horizontal blanking of CVT-RB2 that monitors can't handle, so you can reduce the vertical blanking instead. 4000x2250 totals will get you exactly 120 Hz at 1080 MHz pixel clock. In fact, "Exact" timing already does this, but if you have issues close to the limit, you can try something lower like 4000x2225, which will also give you exactly 120 Hz but at 1068 MHz.

Thank you so much, this helped a lot. I now use 4000x2225 and it works perfectly.
I have another question regarding the pixel clock limit.
In CRU, it says in the Display Properties that the max. pixel clock of my monitor is 1070 MHz.
   
Do I have to look out for this too?
If I go above 1070 MHz, am I overclocking my monitor?
Also, if I would use 4000x2168, would it look a lot different to my eye than 4000x2225?
I also found out that I can use this pixel clock calculator (https://www.monitortests.com/pixelclock....clock=1080) which is very helpful.
And is there any way that I can know if my PC is using DSC. Like a detection programm or something.

I've never seen the reported max pixel clock matter, so I wouldn't worry about it. DisplayPort is packet-based and runs at fixed clock speeds, so it's more a matter of whether the monitor can handle the resolution and refresh rate. The blanking mainly affects how long to wait between each line and frame, so it wouldn't visibly affect the image. The driver doesn't seem to report if DSC is active or not, but NVIDIA doesn't support scaling features such as DSR, DLDSR, and image scaling with DSC unless something changed recently, so that might be one clue.

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
So for the purpose of using dldsr in 16:9 on a 21:9 screen. I need to make 2560x1440 my default resolution that nvidia detects.

To do this , we'll all my resolutions were the 3440x1440 ones , so I simply changed them all to 2560x1440 and didn't touch anything else.

It appeared to work, however when selecting any hz besides 60 or 120 I get a black screen. My options are 60 100 120 144 175

For reference, I can use other hz such as my native 175 on 2560x1440 when choosing it in the nvcp when I don't make changes by removing the 3440x1440 ones with cru, or rather changing them to 2560x1440 ones would be more exact.

So something about 2560x1440 now being my native resolution caused this maybe?

I tried going back into cru and tried different timings such as exact reduced, yet sadly to no avail.

I'm extremely fresh to this all so excuse my ignorance. Could I please get some assistance? It would be very appreciated Smile

For reference I'm trying to use a 175hz, which is my monitors native max. And considering g sync exists , I haven't the need to play at anything lesser. So as long as I can get that working that's plenty for me!

Aw3423dw. Newest GeForce driver, let me know if there's any other information I should provide.

Thanks in advance!

Edits for new information:

turns out any of my other resolutions in the nvcp , such as 1920x1080 , don't work at 175hz either.

Deleting every other displayId resolution besides the 175hz one didn't work

Deleting all extensionblock resolutions besides the 175hz one hasn't either.

Rebooting my pc hasn't worked.

When changing the display ID from 1.3 to 2.0 the 175hz option dissapears from nvcp (its the only resolution left as i deleted the rest, minus the default 60hz one ofc)

And when having both a display ID 1.3 and 2.0 175hz resolution, I do see the option to choose it again, yet I black screen.

Monitors with NVIDIA's G-SYNC hardware only support a limited combination of resolutions and refresh rates. The AW3423DW only seems to support 60 Hz and 120 Hz at 2560x1440. The graphics driver automatically adds some common resolutions as scaled resolutions. If 2560x1440 didn't exist in CRU by default, then it was being scaled to 3440x1440 by the GPU.

I'm so confused as I'm currently using 2560x1440 at 175hz. And I've been using it. I also just set the native resolution to 2560x1440 in cru *withOUT* deleting the other 3440x1440 resolutions/changing them to 2560x1440.

And it works , I can use 2560x1440 at 175 hz. It's selected and applied right now currently with this cru setup, and when not using cru I obviously could select it too , but even when using it to change my native resolution I can choose 175hz.

However only when I remove the 3440x1440 resolutions or change them. Then I can't use said refresh rate.

Am I missing something? Why am I always able to use 2560x1440 at every single hz the monitor comes with UNTIL I do the specific cru action of getting rid of the 3440x1440 resolutions that are attached to said refresh rates?

Thank you for taking the time to respond Smile

Also unfortunately having my native resolution at 2560 isn't enough, I guess nvidia chooses the silly route of basing dldsr off your max resolution not your native.

Would you know any way I could use your program to get around this?
