CRU doesn't deal with scaling. That's up to the graphics driver. Make sure the game is using the correct refresh rate. Some games use the desktop refresh rate. I don't see why the driver is adding 143 Hz and 128 Hz as scaled resolutions but not 60 Hz. You might be better off making sure 1280x960 and 1920x1080 have the same refresh rates in CRU. The NVIDIA control panel has an "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs" option that you can try, but I don't know what that's supposed to do. If you have a "Preferred refresh rate" option in the 3D settings, try setting that to "Highest available" so it uses 144 Hz.

thanks for the quick reply!

The problem i'm having is that I'm trying to use CRU to bypass the GPU scaling so i can use my display's scaling for reduced input lag. tricking it with CRU into thinking 1280x960 is native is the only way to truly prevent GPU scaling from taking over in an application.

edit:
I think i figured it out but I'm not sure how fixable it is, its pretty much exclusive to games that don't have a refresh rate you can force.
while the games still run at the proper 1280x960@ 144hz the weird auto detecting(NOT VSYNC) of refresh rate puts khz @ 157 instead of 140 that's set in CRU when using LCD reduced timings,
while games that allow me to force refresh rate to 144 via in game menus or launch options run at 140khz/144hz according to my monitors OSD & on the 2 games in question that both auto detect have it set to 157khz/144hz.

i think the only solution would be to make a manual custom resolution of 1280x960 that runs at 157khz/144hz but i would not know where to begin when it comes to the manual setting, also when resetting everything and running it on default my native resolution runs at 157khz/144hz according to my OSD
