I have been able to use the default settings to add the resolution at the desired refresh, however there is a thin bezel around the display which shows GPU artifacting of stuff rendered at the edge of frame. What settings do I need to change to effectively "overscan" the image?

You can't overscan with a custom resolution. Use GPU scaling if the monitor can't display the resolution correctly.

Hmm, I am already using GPU scaling. I believe what's happening is that because it's an OLED, there's a bezel around the image where the monitor will offset the image a pixel or two every 10 minutes or so to prevent burn in. Just in official resolutions, this is blacked out/overlaid with a border - while in the custom resolution, it's black but still renders what's at the edge of the screen.

Using the standard Nvidia custom resolution works and prevents this artifcating - however Nvidia's implementation doesn't allow for HDR in these custom resolutions (which is how I was directed to CRU). Seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place! Guess I may need to just eat the performance loss and stick to the native 3440x1440 resolution :/
