Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[Windoge]

Hello ToastyX, sorry for the delay in updates to my problem. You were right, unchecking the "include extension block" worked, but only for 2 or 3 days. I was also wondering beforehand, by importing the blank-extension.dat file, do you mean just put it anywhere on the desktop or in a particular folder? Also, for further information on my situation, here's a crosspost from the overlord forums from myself:

So, recent updates on my case. Sorry it took so long but job is taking a lot of my time. I did some tests

Alright. So, the main problem was some occasional stuttering and fps drop in 120hz 1440p on WoW. I switched to a different profile and do not seem to have that problem anymore so far.

However, there's still the problem with Dota 2: horrible un-playable flickering from the moment I start the game, as if the screen was tearing apart (so, screen tearing I guess?)

I have also tried to set launch options in steam specifically for dota 2 (fps_max 120 and 600)

Here's what I did first. I tried to import the blank-extension.dat file from https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Threa...tility-CRU for the nVidia workaround, and include the extension block. Also tried to remove the extension block, same result: NO SUCCESS with the Dota 2 screen tearing. Fine, let's try something else !

According to Black Octagon's suggestion, I tried to isolate the problem and have (sort of) succeeded

I reseted all resolutions in CRU, restored all pixel clock limits with the patcher, turned off SLI and rebooted. I then repatched the pixel clock limit using the patcher INSTEAD of the patcher-full (the regular patcher is for systems not using SLI) and imported the timings from Black0ctagon's youtube tempest x270oc overclocking video.

It was a great success. Works on WoW, works on DotA 2. No more screen tearing in Dota. However, I didn't pay 600$ for my 2nd GTX 780 to have it on off, so I gotta try and fix the problem anyways.

So I restarted the nVidia control panel and turned on SLI (having still only patched the nVidia values for systems not using SLI). Works on the desktop and in WoW

But, the terrible screen tearing in Dota 2...

I restarted everything and re-patched for SLI, rebooted Dota 2, still got the screen tearing (no surprise there)

However, both WoW, Borderlands 2 AND BF4 on Ultra 120Hz without any problem.

So, and this is what I meant by isolating the problem, DOTA 2 with SLI on seems to trouble the 120Hz. My next step, and that's what I'm currently doing, is deleting all the game files and reinstalling it from scratch... I have a feeling, however, that this is not gonna work.

The easy solution that I am obviously converging too would be to turn off SLI only when I'm playing Dota 2, but have it on when I'm playing any other games. But, as I said before, It worked before reformating and I find it pretty lame to have paid an extra 600$ for games to work better with my current rig, but all it does is create problems .

My second solution, which I do not really want to come to, is start rollbacking drivers and try other versions. As I said before, until I reformated and installed the most recent nVidia drivers for my cards, I had absolutely no problem with whatsoever games (occasional green-purple lines in Dota and WoW but they were too small for me to care).

Does anyone have a suggestion?
