RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Toasty, your my last chance at this.
I bought a qnix hoping to get 96hz... ive spent the past 4ish hours trying to overclock the damned thing.
I own a laptop with a nvidia gefore gtx 980M in it and i have the monitor hooked up with a display to mini display port. All appears well and dandy, i patched the drivers for kicks and giggles, i updated my qnix drivers on windows 8.1 by using the work around, and still... CRU just doesnt add any custom refresh rates. I made sure to uninstall geforce experience at one point to see if that was the issue. However i did not uninstall ALL nvidia drivers and such, i did uninstall "geforce experience" in device manager.
I also made sure to set it to "custom extension block" even though i have no idea what that is, i added two of the custom settings i wanted inside the setting block area.. i didnt know what to do about the 2 byte situation.... but no matter what i try, whenever i go into "resolutions>advanced settings>monitors>refresh rates" (after restart64) still, there is only 59 and 60.
Im not sure if the fact im running dual monitors would cause any issues? i made sure that i applied the settings to the right monitor and made sure i was selecting the right monitor to change the refresh rate on.

On top of this, apparently i dont get to use nvidia control panel due to the fact i have a mobile GPU, so i cant do it that way... (basically since my gpu has an integrated gpu and an nvidia, it uses something called "optimus" and all my settings for my display are under intel HD control panel, but i cant appear to add custom refresh rates to intel's control panel... so it APPEARS that nvidia control panel is out the window as an option (when i open it up, there is only three tabs on the left, including 3d settings).
Well, anyways, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication, i appreciate any response.

Edit: so i kept hunting around to see if there was a way to do it in intel's control panel and i found an area to add a custom resolution and refresh rate. i was able to add one for 45hz, but not anything above like 50 because it "exceeds maximum bandwidth".. which makes no sense because i know im running 60hz....
heres where i think the issue lies: my default GPU is integrated (i changed this and still saw the same errors), so maybe it doesnt have the ability to push these frames off my integrated GPU and it doesnt make the jump to my Nvidia gpu for some stupid ass reason?
sorry for my language, im just really frustrated at this point. its 3:30AM, im going to wake up tomorrow and check to see if anyone can help.. thanks so much to anyone who tries.

edit2: Using PowerStrip, some random program i found online that will also let you modify your resolutions and refresh rates, i SOMEHOW managed to add "112" to the list of refresh rates i can select from (this is especially weird since i tried to add multiple different rates, none of them were 112 and it only added 112), but when i ran it, i was getting a perfect refresh skip of like 50%.. when i had the refresh skip checker open on full screen, it said i had 56hz, exactly half of what i should have had. when i minimized the window, it said 112, but keep in mind this was with half of the blocks being skipped (50% refresh skip).
All of this was until i realized, sadly, i had bought a display port to mini display port that supported 1440p at 60hz and like a 224 maximum bandwidth.
I have an adapter and a normal display cord on the way, Toasty, sorry for so long of a message, but do you mind looking at my cords and telling me if you think they will work? it says "4k ready" for both of them, but i dont see anything about bandwidth or refresh rates.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005H3Q59U/?tag=mtests-20#ad
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNF0KF0/?tag=mtests-20#ad

also, it appears when i try 112 at 1080p (still too high of a bandwidth) that it is still skipping LOTS of frames. Does this make sense to you?
Is there any reason CRU is not adding custom resolutions for me?
Thanks, Toasty!!
