Are you using DisplayPort? Those resolutions have very high pixel clocks. The driver is probably not allowing pixel clocks that high, and the patch doesn't affect DisplayPort. Chances are that monitor can't handle higher refresh rates properly anyway.

ToastyX is right.
What is the Vertical Total of those resolutions you created?
I have a feeling that as far as strange resolutions are concerned, the Nvidia control panel's resolution applet is handling things differently than CRU, while for normal resolutions, they both work the same with automatic timings. But I could just be blowing smoke out of my butt (this is over my head).

Check out this thread where a poster was asking about a 1440p resolution on a 1080p display and we were trying to help him, then some bizarre stuff happened.

I know I'm getting WAY OT and some of my posts don't seem logical but I think I need toastyX's help here.

I don't know if its AMD/Nvidia or not but their drivers or the proper method of custom resolution creation seem to not be allowing the same timings that the Nvidia Control panel allows for bizarre resolutions. I don't know if the Nvidia CP is interpolating something but I think it's changing or reducing timings if what you're trying to create is out of specification.

Check out what happens when you try to create a 1920x1440 4:3 resolution on a 1080p monitor (yes some 1440p resolutions can be created on 1080p monitors but they are interpolated).

(e.g. Masterotaku was able to create a custom 2880x2160 60hz resolution on a Benq XL2411Z (a 1920x1080 screen), but only by using the Nvidia control panel).

back to the 1920x1440 example:

The Nvidia custom resolution utilty creates it with a 1144 vertical total with automatic timings at a custom 129hz refresh rate. The pixel clock is a decent 306.9 MHz and works (quite nicely)

ToastyX CRU creates it with a (ahem) 1531 vertical total and a sky high pixel clock of 410 mhz. It creates this on both AMD And Nvidia cards.

Needless to say, the CRU created resolution doesn't work. Anything above Vertical Total 1502 displays a black screen "Out of range!" on the OSD. VT 1502 works, but there are swimming pixels all over the place on the screen (this is through displayport btw, not DVI).

Attempting to manually enter a 1144 VT to match the Nvidia panel does not work. 1144 remains red and half of the blanking and back porch are empty. Not only that, the Nvidia created resolution does not appear in CRU, either. So I have no idea what's going on.

A Custom 100hz 1920x1440 resolution with a vertical total manually decreased from 1510 (default for CRU automatic) to VT 1502 (the highest the Benq monitor will allow) works perfectly, no swimming pixels and no "Out of range" error. Note: lowering the VT to 1485 (the default for manual creation originally) brings an "Out of range" error although there is still a display (it's not a black screen) but the OSD is locked out.

I suspect the Nvidia drivers are handling this differently than CRU, and I think CRU is actually doing this correctly (I mean, a 1144 vertical total with 1440 vertical lines active resolution? This should be an invalid entry).


@OP: Do you have an old Nvidia card sitting around somewhere?
If it's not too much trouble, uninstall the 295x2 and try a backup Nvidia card (that can support the monitor), assuming the NV card has displayport.

Try creating those resolutions you listed in your post with the Nvidia control panel as custom resolutions (Automatic) and then compare the timings with the ToastyX one. I'm willing to bet that the Vertical total is FAR lower than what CRU is entering. if you don't, then disregard.

I'm going to try the 1920x1440 on an Asus VG248QE, as the scaler is different than the one the Benq's use (the Benq uses the Mstar 8556T scaler, which allows a max VT of 1502). The Asus VG248QE goes black screen out of range, as soon as the VT is past 1200 (on any resolution).
