Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

The intention is to allow games that run at exactly 60fps (for example emulated console games) to use freesync and avoid tearing.

This seems to work correctly (for example the Pendulum demo is now tear-free when I set it to 60, whereas it tore horribly before- and playing games in Dolphin also seems to use freesync@60ish).

Are there any downsides to doing this that I might have missed? The only thing I can think of is that the frame pacing of 60FPS video, when using a player that can't engage freesync, might be off.

Just make sure it's not skipping frames: https://www.testufo.com/frameskipping

FreeSync monitors usually don't skip frames with FreeSync on, so it should be fine.
