They aren't the same at all. DALNonStandardModes applies to all displays on the GPU and doesn't let you specify timing parameters. Custom resolutions in AMD's control panel are specific to the monitor and let you specify timing parameters like detailed resolutions, and it also lets you specify the desktop resolution separately from the active resolution, but for some reason the control panel rejects downsampled resolutions even if the GPU can do it, so you'd have to create the custom resolution, find the value in the registry, and hex edit the desktop resolution part to be different from the active resolution. This is what people did many years ago before VSR was a feature, but the tutorials no longer work because the details have changed, and the helper utility they used no longer functions either. This method might still be possible, but you need to find a way to create a custom resolution first so it can create the registry value.

The last one has a screenshot that shows what the registry value looks like.

Firstly, I don't have crimson. In CCC you can also create custom resolutions but you need to set advanced view.
Secondly, the user of the first tutorial had 1920x1200 as native which has the same aspect ratio as 2560x1600. That's NOT where my concern lies in.
Thirdly, I don't have the ModeTimingOverrides value and the EDID key is not in Common, is it because I have no custom resolutions created in AMD's control panel? (I don't have AMD control panels yet but I know it's not possible with Adrenalin in laptops)
Fourthly, there is no need to create a custom resolution in AMD's control panel to create the registry value, however it would be very hard.
