4Kx2K output does not mean HDMI 2.0. It means it can output 3840x2160, which you are getting at 30 Hz with HDMI 1.4. 60 Hz with YCbCr/RGB 4:4:4 requires HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2. You might be able to get 60 Hz with YCbCr 4:2:0 subsampling by adding it in the extension block as a TV resolution with the "4:2:0 resolutions" checkbox, but the driver might ignore that. Since CRU can't read extension blocks with Intel GPUs, you'll also need to manually add an HDMI support data block.

Hi ya,

Yes, I have enabled YCbCr too. and i still dont get an option to choose my Res/Hz.. when I try to add a standard resolution, it doesn't allow me to enter it there either.
I even followed the guide i mentioned before and that didnt help me. so im stuck, just like my monitor lol

I'm sorry, but Yes it does. HDMI 2.0 can out put as much as a DP. I had the monitor running off my laptop perfectly fine until Windows 10 messed everything up with its auto-forced updates
I just cant figure out which drivers win 10 has over written, and since then, ive had to do a clean install last week, and i'd love to get my 4K back up and running again, running at the same Hz it was before (66 hz)


So I know it works. I just need your help to Force it to work again, if you wouldn't mind please?


"An HDMI Cable, that is tested against the version 1.4 High Speed testing specification (10.2Gbps), will support 4K content @ 30Hz . However, 4K support beyond 50Hz (typically at 60Hz in advanced 4K UHD TVs) can only be supported using an 18Gbps capable HDMI cable (or a v2.0 HDMI)."

I'm not using HDMI 1.4 like you think i am, my 4K monitor is not set to that. its set to HDMI 2.0 and I'm using my HDMI 2.0 port. I dont have a 1.4 port. And I can clearly see my 4K external Monitor is pushing out 66Hz, and is capable of 80hz (which was confirmed by AOC U2879VF manufactures today when I called them)
Link to the monitor: https://eu.aoc.com/en/products/u2879vf/specs

I know what my laptop specs are, and Im not new to using a PC, in fact I took a computer engineering course some way way back

I maybe be daft from time to time, but I know my hardware more than the average person, and more so what its capable of doing.


Any how, i truly appreciate the time you have taken to create such software, can you help me please. And yes I am using a HDMI 2.0 cable, it came with the Monitor.

yes I have added HDMI blocks, but it still does not show up in the settings to choose from.



Here's a snippet of the system support utility:

=======================




This here is showing my laptop's built in monitor settings, etc as you can see, its running at 60hz, but at 1920x1080 as it should.

my 4K monitor is supposed to be set to 10-bit, not 8-bit as well.

I'll try the HDMI unplugging trick but you're right, it's better to get an officially supported monitor. Problem is it's hard to find a 27" 1440p freesync monitor that isn't 144+hz, which boosts the price a lot over this 60/75hz model.

Enabling FreeSync unofficially only works with HDMI.

Thanks...? I'm not sure what you're trying to tell me here. I'm aware Freesync is potentially supported over HDMI 1.4a which is supported both by my monitor and my Vega 56 card. The problem is that this monitor firmware doesn't officially support freesync, though older versions of the same monitor did unofficially via displayport and possibly HDMI. I was hoping to restore this functionality via CRU, but it doesn't appear to work unfortunately.

you just said unofficially, its been official for years, sorry for helping I only posted it as mine is an AMD FreeSync too. But its not needed unless ur using a D.P

unless youre referring to your monitor? I was just making a statement in general, is all

Sorry for trying to be of some use

have a good one..

peace
