Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[_alkaline]

Hey, I just got a QX320QHD. It isn't overclocking, and people at overclock.net and the manufacturer have suggested it should.

Anyway, I got my new QX320QHD, I plugged it in, great monitor, very nice colors. I connected it with the dual link DVI that came in the box. The whole reason I got it was so I could overclock it, as per the widely circulated screenshot on Amazon here (bottom photo on the left sidebar): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KVZMUYI/?tag=mtests-20#ad

I actually got the monitor here because lower price, I am 99% sure there's no difference as they are the exact same model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O0UTCPA/?tag=mtests-20#ad

I got the monitor, loaded up CRU, added custom resolutions, the first with 85 hz 1440p and the second with 720p 100hz (to see if lowering resolution would allow higher refresh). I also removed the pixel clock that's in the AMD drivers. I rebooted, changed the refresh rate in AMD Catalyst Control... and black screen on 1440p 85hz!

I then tried 720p 100hz, and this is what's really strange. It worked. No visible frame skipping, so I loaded up the Test UFO frame skipping [http://www.testufo.com/#test=frameskipping], but it identifies my frame rate & refresh rate as 60hz! I tried a bunch of different resolutions in CRU, including 1440p 65 hz and 720p 65 hz, but every time it still says 60 frame rate and 60 hz refresh. I can provide screenshots tomorrow if necessary.

I have a prebuilt with a i7 4790 and R9 270, and my OS is Win 7 Home Prem. Those shouldn't be the issue unless I'm completely off.

Thanks so much for the help in advance! I really appreciate it!
