Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

Glad you got it working. I had an almost identical problem and got it working another way....

I've got a Dell U2713HM connected by HDMI to a laptop with an AMD HD8730M graphics chip which runs alongside an Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip.

I'd previously got the monitor working in 2560x1440 mode (at 30Hz) with Windows 8 64 bit, using the Custom Resolutions in Catalyst Control Center. However after upgrading to Windows 8.1 the resolution went back to 1920x1080 and there were no custom resolutions available.

I went round in circles upgrading the Catalyst Control Center drivers to the latest 13.9 then Beta 13.11 and using the CRU utility to add the extra resolutions but no luck.

I finally downgraded the Intel HD 4000 driver from I think a V10 one dated 30/8/13 to a V9.17.10.2867 one dated 26/9/12

After doing this and rebooting a different Intel Graphics control center was displayed which allowed custom resolutions to be entered. I re-entered my 2560x1440 one and it now works perfectly.

Hope this helps someone!

Hello SimonL,
what was the highest refresh rate you were finally able to get on 2713HM? Only 30Hz? And what type/brand of cable did you use?

Anyone here able to achieve 2560x1440@60Hz with Dell U2713HM or U2713H, or... similar price range monitor via HDMI?

I've got Sony Vaio Flip15A with internal display 1920x1080 and Intel HD Graphics 4400 Optimus + NVIDIA GeForce GT 735M 2GB. Only HDMI output available, highspeed HDMI cable used. I was able to enter custom resolution 2560x1440@60Hz, but monitor displayed message, that it is not supported resolution, then only 2560x1440@41Hz worked. But it doesn't look good (not sharp, eyes hurt) So I'm wondering if there is some other way to set this up.

Thank you all... (and greetings as a new user here)
