I don't see how that would help.
Hi ToastyX. Can you help please? I reinstall Windows today and now your program sees two monitors, when in fact it is one. After the reboot, my settings go wrong and I have to manually import settings.

It's normal for there to be extra entries. They don't affect anything. The "(active)" entry is the one that matters. You can use the "Delete" button to remove the other one, but it will probably reappear after running restart.exe or when installing a new driver. I don't know what you mean by your settings go wrong. The settings should be preserved after a reboot.

thank you for answer. "settings" i mean my monitor refresh rate after PC reboot. Yes, after rebooting the PC in the program displays my saved refresh rate settings. But after rebooting the PC I need to run "restart.exe" so that the parameters are applied. There were no such problems on Windows 10 1903. I think these are Windows 10 1709 issues (now my main OS). Sorry for potato language

That sounds like a graphics driver bug. What GPU do you have?

Asus Strix GTX 960 OC 2gb. 441.41 driver version
With version 1.4.2 installed, when attempting to install nVidia drivers newer than 436.48, a black system recovery / safe mode screen appears - need to reset software settings to default, to install new drivers. But after they are installed (for example 441.66), if I activate my resolution, the same black screen appears. Monitor: Samsung S20B300N, Video card: GV-N960IXOC-4GD, ОS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64.
P.S. I apologize for the language, English is not my native, use an online translator.

I don't see how that can happen. CRU doesn't change anything related to system startup, so there has to be another factor involved. I'm not sure what it could be because I haven't heard of this happening before.

That's strange. The fact that it works after running restart.exe means the settings are saved correctly, but the graphics driver is not applying the override on system startup for some reason. Maybe it has to do with using a newer driver with an older version of Windows 10.

Perhaps nVidia changed something in drivers after 436.48 - there was no such problem with this version, and before it.
Hello,
I found this place and the CRU tool because of an old thread on Reddit. I was searching for a solution for the high idle speeds on my RTX2070 when using a multi monitor setup.
On my previous computer, running Windows 7 with a 1070, I had the same problem. There I was able to "solve" the problem simply by reducing the refresh rate from 144Hz to 120Hz.
On my new computer running Windows 10 and a new RTX 2070 Super this no longer works. No matter which refresh rates I choose, and no matter which combination of refresh rates I choose, the idle speed of the card sticks to 1600Mhz. The only thing that helps so far is using the 3rd Party tool nVidia Inspector.
Unfortunately ppl still recommenc the "solution" that worked on Windows 7 but as I said this is no longer the case. So I was pretty excited when I found this thread on reddit.
He wrote that, although Windows 10 shows the same refresh rate for both displays it actually isn't the same internally and that prevent the card from going to idle. He was able to solve it by creating a custom profile using CRU and applying it to both monitors so they both us the excact same refresh rates.
I tried to read everything, even all the CRT, HDMI and old stuff that doesn't apply to me, and worked myself up to page 264 but I'm lost. All the tools I know, nVidia Inspector, GPU-Z and so on do indeed show the same values for both monitors. And, while I was able to create a profile in CRU, I created one on both monitors for 120Hz, I fail do see where I can change to said profile. The monitor options of Windows 10 as well as the nVdia panel still only show the "normal" 120Hz as well as the other refresh rates? Do I have to delete the standard ones?
Am I stupid? What I'm doing wrong?
Windows 10 1909
nVidia 441.66
CRU 1.4.2
RTX 2070 Super
2x exact same 1440p GSync monitors (even the same revision)
Display Port
Thank you in advance.
