i put in a little picture so u can see forr ya self Smile
reset-all.exe resets all displays, try restart.exe

Was 144 Hz available before? Check the output color depth. Not all refresh rates might be available at 10/12 bpc.

what about the inf? i think it won't affect anything because "maxresolution" is 1600,1200?
The laptop panel can only display the native resolution no matter what, and a monitor .inf file does not affect GPU scaling. GPU scaling is controlled by the graphics driver.

(01-02-2024 03:35 AM)someone Wrote: [ -> ]3. where is the scaler in a laptop? can it be added or removed?
There is no scaler other than the GPU scaler which is built into the GPU. External monitors usually have a separate scaler chip on the board with the inputs, but not all of them will accept higher resolutions either.

(01-02-2024 03:35 AM)someone Wrote: [ -> ]4. its possible to do it in intel with low-end pcs, you have to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000, create/modify a REG_DWORD value called Display1_DownScalingSupported by setting it to 1 and reboot.
That's weird because Intel's official stance is they don't support downscaling resolutions. That value is specific to Intel's driver, and I don't know anything equivalent for AMD.

(01-02-2024 03:35 AM)someone Wrote: [ -> ]5. so its definitely impossible for me to use 1024/1367x800? (at least what you think because im going to ask the communities)
The GPU could theoretically do it, but you'd need some way to make the GPU's driver do it, and the only official way I know with AMD GPUs is using VSR, which AMD intentionally limited for some reason. There was another method that involved creating a custom resolution in AMD's control panel (if it even lets you with a laptop) and then finding the custom resolution in the registry, which is in binary format, and then hex editing the resolution values while leaving the active pixels alone, but AMD's registry keys have changed over the years, and the paths are specific to the monitor, so you'll have to figure that out yourself, if it's even possible anymore.

I don't have AMD's control panel but I know that in Adrenalin it's not possible to create a custom resolution in it.
On Intel and downscaling, it's only possible in the registry, but not the control panel. The registry key just adds 1152x864 and 1024x768 in 1024x600 monitors. I'll try things tomorrow. I won't ask the amd/intel communities though.

On your answer to "4", AMD's equivalent is the aforementioned DALNonStandardModesBCD1/2/3/4/5 in the same location as Display1_DownScalingSupported. In my laptop though it only adds 16:9 resolutions (I recently tried it with 1184x666. 1280x960 (the default mode) is 4:3 and it's not even there but the height isn't to blame), similar to your SRE utility. 1184x666 is the only resolution I tried and added via this method though and 1366x768 is close to 16:9.
UPDATE: I asked the original question to the Guru3D forum and if it's DEFINITELY impossible then I won't test anything.

I have already mentioned a key called DALNonStandardModesBCD1. It's a REG_BINARY key. Are you referring to that one? without vsr only resolutions with a lower width/height/both than the native can be added though (I added 1152x768 and the process was successful but in 1280x800's case it wasn't added)

No, SRE already uses DALNonStandardModes. I'm talking about custom resolutions in AMD's control panel.
i'm on windows 11 and am not able to create a new stretched resolution because no detailed resolutions show up in my extension blocks please help ASAP I have been struggling for months

click "add" in extension blocks to add a new custom resolution in detailed resolutions. if you are using displayid 1.3/2.0, click add > detailed resolutions > ok > add again. afterwards follow the instructions in the post. otherwise, click "add" twice if you are using cta-861 or vtb-ext.

You need to be more specific. Detailed resolutions don't need to be in extension blocks, so what is the actual problem you're having? You need to provide details about what you're doing, what you're seeing, and what hardware you have. I don't understand what's with all these vague stretched resolution posts lately or why people try to post as little information as possible.

What GPU do you have? You can use the GPU's control panel or the registry.
Unfortunately my second monitor is no longer detected by my PC.

I used CRU to make a custom resolution for my 24" side monitor to go with my 27" main monitor for sim racing. I then set the 1080p monitor to go to 2343x1152 or so, so that I could use my 27" monitor at 1440p instead of 1080p. It worked, I played my game. Didn't know if the resolution was actually working correctly so was gonna go back and test it with other resolutions.

Then when I tried to get back on again it just showed a black screen on the side monitor. Soon after the monitor disappeared from my PC display settings, and detecting yields nothing.

To try to fix it, I used reset.all, restart.exe, restarted my computer. I pressed delete on the CRU UI because I heard that was a way to reset the settings for the monitor, now the monitor isn't on CRU anymore (before it was still on there with a * even though it wasn't detected by PC anymore).

I'm using an HDMI 2.1, Never had a problem before--I just plug it in and the monitor works right away. Didn't do anything except use CRU. (Mentioning because people were saying it's probably the HDMI cable, an issue with the monitor, etc.)

I searched for this and found a few discussions but no concrete solutions. Anybody know what to do?

I guess the GPU had an issue when making the 1080p monitor run at the weird and above-max resolution, but beyond that I don't know what it is or what to do to fix it. Isa clean install of graphics card drivers likely to fix it? Unfortunately I'm confused on how exactly to do that in my short time researching it so far

Edit: I have an Intel Arc a750 in the PC
