Have you tried reducing the front porch and sync width to reduce the horizontal total further? Try multiples of 8 for horizontal values.

Welcome back, ToastyX!

I tried but if I do that, the screen seems to split into 3 pieces of vibrating rectangles Smile I forgot what values I tried, though. But if I went past that vibrating rectangles range, and went any lower, the resolution completely dissapeared from the CCC.

*edit*
the absolute lowest I can get is front porch 40 and sync width 24 using the 8 multiple you mentioned. Pixel clock 471.56 and HT 2625, still artifacts at 120hz.

If I go 32 and 16 for the two values, for a HT of 2609, the refresh rate disappears from the CCC.

Looks like its the HT causing the refresh rate to vanish. Cant go below 2625

I think I'll just be happy with 115hz. 2560x1440 doesn't give me fast enough FPS anyway, TBH.

I do have a question btw.
You mentioned in an earlier post about the displayport 1.1 limits of 360 MHz for 8bpc and 480 MHz for 6bpc for 4 lanes.

But I checked the Benq product page and it says all of their recent monitors use displayport 1.2 ports. But you said that the Benqs are all displayport 1.1 (except the XL2730Z). If they were really DP 1.2, I should have 8 bit color up to 600+mhz and should not have a 480 MHz hard pixel clock limit Sad

Did Benq unintentionally lie or is it just because a DP 1.2 cable works in a 1.1 port?
(10-13-2015 09:04 PM)ToastyX Wrote: [ -> ]That's supposed to work. I don't understand how scaling could work correctly in Windows but not in games. If the GPU scaling option is not working correctly, then that's a driver bug that I can't do anything about. I don't know what's going on with the Windows 10 drivers. Some people are having the opposite problem where resolutions are centered instead of stretched. Supposedly scaling works correctly with older drivers, but then Windows 10 will automatically try to update the driver even if you disable automatic driver updates. Windows 10 is becoming a hassle to use. If the monitor has scaling options, disable GPU scaling to send the resolution to the monitor instead. The Samsung should have an image size option, but I don't know if it can scale resolutions like 1792x768 or 1920x810.
Thanks! as long as it's not hardware problem, I'll try find a way.
Hi, thanks a lot for this program. I wanted to know if there was a way to check if it was working on my monitor. When I open the GeForce experience program, and go on My Rig, it still says my refresh rate is 60hz, even though I set it to 144hz. Thanks.

You need to set the refresh rate either in the Windows screen resolution advanced settings or in the NVIDIA control panel. If the refresh rate is not listed, then you're running into pixel clock limits. Normally 60 Hz monitors will not support 144 Hz. If it's a 144 Hz monitor, then you shouldn't need to add custom resolutions. 144 Hz should work out of the box if the monitor and video card supported it.

DisplayPort can run at different speeds. The monitor and video card must support HBR2 (high bit rate 2) mode to go beyond 360/480 MHz.
Custom Resolution Utility,

i found your post here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1364322/overr...as-monitor


because i'm having a problem,i have a new graphics card and my monitor was detecting as generic non pnp monitor,i dont see "benq" as before, and some games was out of range, ( i use dvi to vga for my new card, because my benQ doesnt have DVI) when i put back my old graphics card and put it on vga (without to adapter) it works again it shows "BENQ"

i found out that this is because my pc gives more than 1366x768(so i need to manually edit ini files for some games) and it gives me a lot of display resolution up to 2000x1444 something like that.

so i used your program and now works perfect!! even it still says "generic non PNP" thank you for that.

BUT with your program i saw my BENQ is there! and not active, my generic non PNP is on active, can i use your program to activate my BENQ?

I found this at intel forums .

https://communities.intel.com/thread/259...0&tstart=0

inside igdlh64.inf there are 2 ways of overriding the display resolution and audio capabilities

1.



HKR,,FakeEDID_14_0_af0d_1723,%REG_BINARY%, EDID

HKR,, ReadEDIDFromRegistry, %REG_DWORD%, 1

this will enable the reading of an EDID from the registry

2.



; <-OEMStaticMode_AddSwSettings->

HKR,, STATIC_MODE_1,%REG_BINARY%, 20,03,58,02,03,00,07,0F ;8x6 60,70

this disables the reading of the EDID and just enables the resolution that is set in the static mode

Don't know if it works on all intel graphics though.

The monitors shown in the menus are the ones currently in the registry. You can't "activate" them like that. The profile is matched for the Benq's ID, and that profile becomes active if you use the direct VGA connection. You're using a convertor so it's going to show up as a new ID, the generic non PNP monitor.

If you had custom resolutions on the Benq profile, you can just create them again. There are "copy" and "paste" commands for the timings. You can just select the Benq, select the timing you want, copy it, create the new timing then hit "paste".

I'm not sure if you can "copy" an entire drop-down profile (To the right where it says edit, paste, delete) at once and then paste it, never tried that. You can try it.
I have 60 Hz and 59.94 Hz set in CRU but under windows display settings I only get a single 60 Hz option. Similarly 47.952 Hz & 48 Hz show as a single 48Hz onyl. Is there any way around this? I have an AMD HD 7700 running Windows 10.
