And monitor CRT, Dell P1130, which supports refresh rates like 1280x1024@120Hz which is my goalI don't recommend removing pin 12 because AMD's driver has a bug with VGA that causes it to get stuck in a loop trying to redetect the monitor if there's no EDID. I don't know if that's the problem you're seeing, but it's not supposed to happen if the pin is present and the monitor has an EDID.
Apparently there are no other choices but only 60Hz. So I tried the utility - installed the pixel patch, set the custom resolution then restarted the driver with 64bit option, then restarted Windows. After some testing in desktop mode at 120Hz decided to play some games - CS: Source, Crysis, Dota 2, Borderlands and while starting them or playing them the machine suddenly returns to desktop trying to switch the resolution and frequency (I'm sure all of them are set on 1280x1024 in options) and failing just retries again. After that I just reset the things with the CRU and return to 60Hz, removed the pin 12 from the VGA side (connection to monitor is DVI-to-VGA cable, which was picked from similar machine with nvidia card where everything worked at 120Hz) and did another try without success. Note that the monitor before pin removal was correctly installed as Dell P1130 (tested also with integrated drivers of Sony GDM-F520 and Dell P1110), after removal (no more EDID) it was also ok in Device Manager ...
So, toasty, do you have any ideas what's causing this? Thanks in advance
You might be better off getting an HDMI-VGA converter to work around the problem, or use an NVIDIA card. I don't think AMD cares about fixing VGA bugs anymore. It might work with an older driver. I think 15.7 is the oldest driver that supports the R7 360: https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/d...4&rev=15.7
Make sure to use DDU first to uninstall the newer driver: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driv...aller-ddu-
The old Catalyst drivers also had an option to ignore the EDID and set the maximum resolution and refresh rate manually for VGA connections.
