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.

Windows still shows 1900x1080. Yey! Thank you so much pal! I think this will now work on my settings playing league of legends Smile

Hi there.

I run an old CRT (Belinea 103050). 800x600x145Hz is possible. I use a Dual Link DVI-I port with a proper DVI to VGA adapter into a VGA cable. All normal resolutions work, with up to roughly 95kHz horizontal frequency.

However, I've been unable to set up *any* custom interlaced resolution. I have tried using the Nvidia Controlpanel, which let's me "test" the resolution, except that it doesn't even seem to apply the actual resolution I want to test if its interlaced. If i then click "Yes" to save it, it simply never shows up. I've tried many resolutions and frequencies, and even VERY low ones with extremely minimal horizontal frequency or pixel bandwith do not work.

I've also tried CRU. I've done it exactly as described, adding the interlaced resolution at the very top entry. I restart the driver, and neither Windows Adaptersettings, nor Nvidia, actually show the resolution that I supposibly created. It's like *ANY* interlaced resolution just will not work if I created it.
If I select an already existing interlaced resolution through Windows, I do seem to get a proper interlaced resolution, so I don't think it's because my CRT can't handle it.

I really hope you guys could help!
Here's some data:
I'm on Windows 10 1903 running the Nvidia 436.30 driver for my GTX 980Ti.

I'll also attach the resolutions.bin!

Best regards

Good day,

Recently my computer had a windows 10 update. (1st October 2019) - update history says feature updates to Windows 10, version 1903.

Before this, following the guide from the first page, i am able to run some games at resolutions that is not normally listed. Example: 1120 x 630 or 960 x 540. My goal was to get steady 30 fps.

After the windows update, setting the games to the resolutions shown above will create a weird screen, there is a big line cut across the screen, and top middle. The display is shown at top left box. If set the to regular resolutions, (example 720p or 1080p) there is no weird screen. It happens with other games as well.

I removed the custom resolutions, restarted graphics driver, add the customer resolutions and restarted graphics driver, same problem.

Please check the attachments for the display and software settings.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.

Computer specs:
Lenovo ideapad 320
Processor AMD A9-9420
Radeon R5 integrated GPU

You need to enable GPU scaling. Laptop screens usually don't have scalers, so they can't display non-native resolutions correctly.

You need to report that to NVIDIA as that's clearly a driver bug or limitation. I don't know if they care enough to fix it since interlaced is hardly used anymore. Interlaced works best with older AMD/ATI cards.

I would like to know which is the best adapter to use with crt monitors.

DP X VGA
HDMI X VGA
DVI X VGA
after all, which one is better?

That depends on the video card. If the video card has a DVI-I port like the 7970 does, then a passive DVI-VGA adapter provides native VGA support through the video card. Other adapters would require conversion, which is fine if the adapter can handle the pixel clocks you need, but it may impact the ability to use interlaced resolutions. Newer cards don't have native VGA support and would require an active adapter.

toastyx, playing games with high Hertz interlaced resolutions, do you notice any difference playing?

One thing I realize here is that the movement is a bit more blurred, but in return the input lag is smaller, in games like cs go, controlling AK 47 recoiling at interlaced 162hz seems easier than at progressive 144hz.

But it may just be my impression.

I don't use interlaced resolutions.

I don't use interlaced resolutions.

but have you never tested to see how it looks?
