Full Version: Cannot run a custom resolution natively

So I have a 16:10 monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050.

I would like to lower that resolution while maintaining the aspect ratio of 16:10

The one that made sense was 1280x800 which was already listed by default as a resolution by windows. But for some reason it's not running natively.
My monitor reports an actual resolution of 1280x960(4:3) which means it's being scaled and not running natively. (display scaling?)

In AMD Adrenalin Panel I have made sure that GPU-Scaling is set to off.
If I turn it on it gets even worse and scales at an even higher resolution (the monitor's native res specifically)

All I want is to run a low 16:10 resolution natively. Too much to ask? Sad
If the monitor doesn't have 1280x800 in the EDID, it will scale to the next highest resolution. Have you tried adding 1280x800 with CRU?
