Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[TnF]

Hello ToastyX and thanks for creating this utility. I have a new workstation laptop here that i borrow from work to use at home until i have funds to build a PC, it is a HP Zbook 17 with coffee lake 8850H and quadro p3200. I successfully overclocked the monitor LGD059E to 100hz@1080p without dropping frames (ufo frame skipping test). All with latest intel and nvidia drivers.

My question is that if i add a resolution over 100hz it will not appear inside the intel graphics control panel. (now that i think about it i haven't checked if it appears inside windows display properties; maybe it is a limit in the intel control panel edit: checked anything above 100hz doesn't appear). Any idea why this happens..also noticed it says that the bit-depth is 6-bit instead of 8-bit..weird.

Entries added to detailed resolutions did not show up either in the settings app or in the UWP Intel control panel. This has been verified on both HD Graphics 500 and HD Graphics 615. CRU worked correctly on both devices with the legacy drivers (6373 and earlier).

Not really; i was with these "legacy" drivers and updated to the latest DCH drivers and my CRU resolutions are still there and work. The only issue is that was supposedly an intel driver bug with these older drivers is the 6-bit bug (according to intel forum posts). However i've noticed the original 1080p@60hz resolution gives 8-bit color depth. Anything above 60hz drops down to 6-bit. As for the methodology i used to update was to use the "have disc" method because the installer wouldn't let me install them, after i did this once it let me re-install them with the installer. No idea what is going on here:/
