Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

I can create one for you if you list all the resolutions and refresh rates you want.

You're great, ToastyX! Thanks for the tutorial from SevenForums. I've looked into it, and it seems what it does is create a custom .INF file with the desired resolutions. I'll look more into it, as such a custom tailored .INF file would be very handy.

In the meanwhile, I've managed so far to dig out another utility -- Radeon Custom Resolution Manager -- http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/3226...on-manager . And I was able to create the custom resolutions I wanted with this utility. And they do work.

Now I got just one more little problem to solve. What was good about PowerStrip was that it was able to enforce the custom timings and refresh rates automatically for any resolution whenever I switched to it (or whenever any other program switched to it.) And I use different resolutions for different purposes (like higher resolutions (1920*1440) for text editing, browsing, desktop work, and lower resolutions (1280*960, 1280*1024, and sometimes a few others) for gaming and certain older applications). So, now that I can't use PowerStrip this doesn't work anymore, and I have to go manually to the AMD Vision Engine Control Center -> Desktop Properties and set the required refresh rate there each time the resolution is changed, because otherwise when a resolution is changed it would apply some different refresh rate, which is either too low or too high.

So I'm looking for a solution to fix this issue. How to make my system apply the required refresh rate automatically for the chosen resolutions whenever that resolution is used?

My most used resolutions are like:

1280*960@119Hz
1280*1024@112Hz
1600*1200@96Hz
1920*1440@81Hz

I'd greatly appreciate if your could create a sample override as offered above.
