I'm asking what you mean by "I can not put." Is Windows not listing the resolution or is the monitor not displaying the resolution?

If Windows lists the resolution but the monitor won't display it, that's probably because of the horizontal scan rate limit. 640x480p @ 162 Hz has a higher horizontal scan rate than 1024x768i @ 162 Hz. CRU shows you the horizontal scan rate under the refresh rate in the detailed resolution dialog. It's the total number of lines per second.

I mean technically with interlacing you would see 162 unique refreshes, but each refresh would be skipping half the lines.

The first number looks like the horizontal scan rate, and the second is the refresh rate. The PN is the horizontal/vertical sync polarity: P for positive, N for negative. PN would be +/-. The sync polarity doesn't matter with most monitors.

For I do not think for example that 640x480p 144hz is the limit of this monitor. it should surely support 145hz up to 160hz at least at this resolution, and the weirdest thing is that at 1024x768p the maximum I can climb is up to 90hz, and the monitor already comes with 85hz enabled.
It does make sense if you take into account the horizontal scan rate limit. The monitor is programmed not to go past certain limits to prevent damaging the monitor, so there isn't a way around that.

Windows lists the resolution, but after applying it the monitor does not display. The screen goes black and displays "HZ".

So is it better and more advantageous to use 640x480i 162hz than 640x480p 144hz?

I would prefer 640x480p @ 144 Hz because the difference between 144 Hz and 162 Hz isn't really noticeable but the difference between progressive and interlaced is.

Thank you so much for taking my questions.
One last question. What is the ati patch for? Is it recommended for my 7970 GHZ?

It should. What edits did you make?

I don't have a GPU just the Ryzen 3 APU and nothing else. If I use a VGA connector should it work? My monitor is LG 22MP48HQ-P. i tried to follow the steps in youtube but my monitor went black after saving the changes. I opened the CRU 1.4 then under detailed resolution click on Add and changed the Refresh rate to 75hz. That's all I did, but when I tried to use restart 64, my screen went black and now I am only using VGA. The first one I used is a DVI-D to HDMI connector as my motherboard does not have an HDMI so I have to use an adapter HDMI to connect to the monitor. Can you please provide me the steps on how to set my monitor to 75hz?

Thank you

APU is fine. Is there any confirmation that the 22MP48HQ will accept 75 Hz at the native resolution? Simply adding a resolution shouldn't make the monitor go black unless it was automatically chosen for some reason, but even if it did, you should have been able to press F8 after running restart64.exe to temporarily undo the changes. If for some reason the driver crashed and the screen stays blank after rebooting, you should be able to start Windows in safe mode and run reset-all.exe and reboot to undo the changes. Since you can connect the monitor two different ways, it might be easier to just connect it the other way instead of booting into safe mode.

I don't know if it will accept 75 Hz with VGA, but I would rather use DVI/HDMI to avoid image quality issues. You might have to use "LCD reduced" timing to get 75 Hz to work. If the monitor won't display 75 Hz, sometimes 72-74 Hz will work.

It's to get around pixel clock limits. You don't need the patch unless Windows isn't listing the resolution because of pixel clock limits.

I was able to set the 75hz refresh rate but according to the monitor, the resolution is 1400x1050. I used Reduced option in the application
@ToastyX

Everything seems to be working now except that on my monitor it still says that it is showing 1400x1050. Do you think I am actually seeing 1050p?

Does Windows show the correct resolution? It should be obvious if the resolution is wrong because the image would either be stretched or have black borders. Sometimes monitors report the wrong resolution.
