There's no way to make HDMI go over 165 MHz with a 4000-series GPU. If you have DisplayPort, an active adapter might work. I don't know what limitations 4000-series GPUs have with DisplayPort since most cards didn't have DisplayPort back then. Many thanks for reply! |

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi,
Can someone help me please? For the past week or so, I've been trying all sorts of methods to increase my 4K monitor's refresh rate to no avail. I've tried the tools here too, same, no luck ![]() I have a GE70 2PL Apache Laptop, with built in Intel HD 4600 Graphics & GeForce GTX850M. Monitor: 28" 4K UHD LED U2879VF, up to 80Hz The external monitor is capable of 4K, and my laptop is 2K/4K compatible. I'm using a HDMI cable to the 4K monitor, and I can't get pass 30 Hz, even if i switch to the Nvidia control panel to set it to use the Nvidia card for everything, same thing, im still stuck at 30Hz. And just now, the opposite has happened for me now I cant go higher than 1920x1080 after following this page https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/cru-cu...rt.410187/ Can anyone help me please? the vendors are not replying to my emails, my laptop venders are also being a pain... you guys are my last hope.. Cheers Loz |

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Firstly, thank you ToastyX and others for your wonderful contributions via this project and in the support forums.
I recently purchased an Acer CB271HU 1440p monitor and I running it from a Sapphire Pulse Vega 56. Although it doesn't officially support freesync, many on reddit and elsewhere report it could be activated via radeon software regardless, and were able to select a custom refresh rate of 75 hz. Unfortunately, I cannot activate freesync or set a refresh rate of 75 hz with mine in radeon software. I think my monitor (manufactured in september 2018) might have a newly updated firmware since there is also no option for 10 bit mode (which the monitor previously supported officially). Fortunately, I can use CRU to create a new detailed resolution that supports 75 hz, which is great. But, I cannot seem to get it to activate freesync. The radeon software just shows "Freesync not supported". What I've tried: -Edited the detailed profile for monitor at 75hz, selecting "include if slot available". -Tried different range limits (e.g. 33-75, 40-75, 40-60, etc) -I've tried adding freesync via an extention block, as well as HDMI/HDMI 2 I've always used the restart-64.exe program in between and/or reset the computer. I have no problem running freesync and extending the range on my second monitor, an LG 27ud58 that natively supports freesync. I've tried all my adjustments with and without the second monitor hooked up. Am I completely out of luck? I bought this monitor in part because it unofficially supported freesync. |

It means it can output 3840x2160, which you are getting at 30 Hz with HDMI 1.4. 60 Hz with YCbCr/RGB 4:4:4 requires HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2. You might be able to get 60 Hz with YCbCr 4:2:0 subsampling by adding it in the extension block as a TV resolution with the "4:2:0 resolutions" checkbox, but the driver might ignore that. Since CRU can't read extension blocks with Intel GPUs, you'll also need to manually add an HDMI support data block. |

Does displayport not work? I'll try the HDMI unplugging trick but you're right, it's better to get an officially supported monitor. Problem is it's hard to find a 27" 1440p freesync monitor that isn't 144+hz, which boosts the price a lot over this 60/75hz model. |

Well that explains things a bit. Still, I tried replugging the HDMI back in, doesn't work. I think however I can trick it into working by duplicating my display across this acer and my freesync LG monitor. Not ideal, but interesting. Thanks for your assistance with this! |
