Hi,
First post here! Thanks for writing & supporting CRU, @ToastyX! This looks like exactly what I need to solve the problem I'm having. But apologies in advance, I'm usually self-supporting but I'm really stuck on a monitor sync issue:
Background: Resurrecting an ASUS Z87-PRO (i7-4770K) that's been in storage for a fewl years. It has an EVGA FTW Nvidia 780 graphics card installed with the latest driver connected via DVI (think it's DVI-D but not sure) cable to a Yamakasi Catleap Q270 monitor. The monitor works at 1440p when connected to another machine, so I don't think its a hardware issue.
The HDD was dead in the Z87 so I replaced it with an SSD and installed Windows 10 October-2018 (v1809) and updated all drivers via Windows Update. Among other things update installed a (fairly old version) Nvidia driver for the graphics card which is great but upon reboot I see the POST screen but then just a black screen (green flashing light on Yamakasi monitor).
Understanding this to be a monitor sync issue (the Q270 being non-multisync) I connected a BENQ multisync 1080p monitor on the 2nd DVI port and it works fine. So I have two monitors connected but when I look at Device Manager I only the BENQ 1080p monitor listed under Monitors, not the Yamakasi. I updated the Nvidia graphics driver using the BENQ monitor but that had no effect on the problem.
I found and installed the unsigned driver located here
https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Threa...-inf-files Thanks @ToastyX! Now I'm able to set 1440p resolution and the 1080p is able to sync & properly scale that. The monitor is correctly listed as the Catleap monitor listed in the INF file. So the monitor INF file is installed correctly.
Here's the problem: No combination of cable-swapping, safe-mode hacking, rebooting, etc will get the monitor to display in 1440p mode. The best I can get on the Yamakasi monitor is to boot in safe mode which results in 800x600 resolution. I'm totally stuck. Trying out CRU 1.4.1, it doesn't see the monitor, only the BENQ. Which makes sense since it's not listed by Windows as a connected monitor.
I've tried everything, including setting resolution to both 1440p and 800x600 with the BENQ and rebooting with the Yamakasi connected but it always results in a black screen / blinking green LED on the monitor.
How can I use CRU to set the monitor settings if I can't get the monitor to display anything outside of safe mode?
Apologies in advance if this is an answered question; I've been skimming forum posts all day and not finding anything that works.
Is this Win10 / GTX780 / Yamakasi combination just incompatible or is there a solution to getting it going at native resolution?
Thanks in advance for any help @ToastyX or anyone might have!
