Thank you very much ! And nvidia rollback that bad driver

Hello everyone.

These are my specs:
Gigabyte P27k Laptop

Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (Inbuilt chip-set)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M GDDR5 2GB (GPU)

Second monitor ASUS VE225T (the monitor in question)

I am trying to increase the refresh rate of my second monitor. (which is my primary display and not my laptop screen)

I followed the steps on the website and ran the NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher 1.3.6 and successfully patched my computer.


Afterwards, i used the Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) to increase my refresh rate.
However, i noticed a problem. According to the website i needed to change the refresh rate in my NVIDIA control panel, but i am unable to do so there. Since i am using a laptop, i need to do it in the Intel graphics control panel. My monitor is still capped at 60hz there.

Am i able to increase my refresh rate at all? If so, what would be my maximum refresh rate?
PS: When i turn on my monitor, it says VGA.

You can't use CRU on laptops with switchable graphics. It says that on the CRU download page. You can only use Intel's control panel to add custom resolutions, and it might not let you do what you want.

Ah, okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Please update for the new WHQL GeForce 364.72

What part needs to be updated? The current version should work.

Hi mate, your works have helped lots of people to achieve what they have been wanted to do

So I got some questions for you.
I've had an Asus VG236HE which can run 1080p@120hz with DVI-D Dual Link & HDMI ports (which shouldn't be able to support 120hz). I used the monitor via HDMI connected to my laptop and it was able to run 1024*768@75hz (it requires around 78MHz of pixel clock) and as I've learned from googling a lot recently, I found out that HDMI should be able to carry at least 165MHz pixel clock, and what I wanted is to run the Monitor at 1024*768@120hz via HDMI, which should require around 97MHz of pixel clock. Shouldn't HDMI be able to do it? Why only 75hz is able to be selected in Window Resolution Customization?

So the question is, will I be able to select up to 1024*768@120hz after I use the patcher without using CRU? Because my laptop is Switchable Graphic Cards (Intel+NVIDIA750m) and from what you replied to the comment above, I found out that CRU won't work in this case
but what if I use the patch to unlock the limit of HDMI, will it be 120hz in the Window resolution panel to selected? Since I will be using 120hz monitor anyway, it shouldn't have to be overclocked. Will it work in this case?

so, 120Hz Monitor > HDMI > Unpatched Driver > only 1024*768@75Hz
120Hz Monitor > HDMI > Patched Driver > 1024*768@120Hz selectable?

I can't try it on my own, because I sold the monitor already
But if you think this might work, I can buy it back from the buyer

Thank you mate, appreciate it!

ps. sorry for my English, it's pretty bad.

Another question is that, aren't those connectivities (HDMI, DVI, Displayport , ETC) pixel clock fixed number? Like, if I connect HDMI through some 144hz monitor, will I be able to select 1080p@144hz in Window Resolution Customization? Or it has to be used with CRU only?

thanks!

Windows only lists resolutions that are in the EDID. Since 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz is not available, the monitor must define 1024x768 @ 120 Hz in the EDID for it to be available in the Windows screen resolution settings. CRU creates EDID overrides, but Intel's driver doesn't support EDID overrides. You'd have to create a custom resolution through Intel's control panel if possible.

The patch won't have any effect with switchable graphics because Intel's driver handles the resolutions, not NVIDIA.

You shouldn't need the patch for 1024x768 @ 120 Hz because that's less than 165 MHz. The patch would allow 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz without using CRU if it's defined in the monitor's EDID. It won't add resolutions that aren't in the EDID, but GPU scaling would make 1024x768 @ 120 Hz available automatically as a scaled resolution if 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz is available.

The new 368.22 driver appears to have broken the patcher, "SL-DVI limit on DL-DVI" is not found and will cause the screen to become fuzzy after overclocking with the patch applied.

Can confirm this.
