Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

If the custom resolution doesn't match the active resolution, then it's scaled@ 129 Hz using the 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz timing parameters defined by the monitor. CRU can't add scaled resolutions, so there's no way by the GPU. That's how the whole downsampling craze started. NVIDIA's driver is scaling 1920x1440 @ 129 Hz down to 1920x1080 to do that with CRU. NVIDIA's custom resolutions have never appeared in CRU, so I don't know why you're confused about that. CRU creates EDID overrides. NVIDIA's custom resolutions are completely separate.

Ah that's it! Gpu scaling.....I freaking told masterotaku to disable GPU scaling on steam when we were discussing this :/ Makes perfect sense. I'll post back on blurbusters and explain what's going on now.

That also explains why 129hz is the highest refresh rate he can create at that scaled 1920x1440. because 1920x1080@129hz is the highest refresh rate before the monitor starts complaining about range errors

Thanks, ToastyX.
