RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
EDIT: Forgot to say, this is on Windows 7 64bit.
tl;dr: I want to force the use of CRU-specified refresh rates for fullscreen games of any resolution on a Radeon GPU, but I don't know how to do so. I just found this utility a few days ago and just registered today because I've run into a peculiar issue when using this with my CRT. First off, my GPU is an integrated Radeon HD 4200. Secondly, here's my custom resolution settings and the model of my monitor: Now the issue is that whenever I try to run a game in fullscreen (games such as TrackMania United Forever or Touhou 8: Imperishable Night), most of the resolutions end up running at 60hz. The only resolutions that run at the CRU-specified refresh rate are 960x720, 1152x720, 1165x728, and 1920x1080. (1536x1152 doesn't count since it's set to use 60hz anyway) The thing is, if I change the actual desktop resolution, the CRU-specified refresh rate will be applied as intended. However 640x480 will still run in 60hz whether it's enabled via the program properties "Compatibility" tab or via F8 on Windows boot-up - I have to manually go into the monitor preferences and select 120hz. The only correlation I can see is that all the resolutions that default to 60hz are resolutions that are officially supported by my monitor's driver (which is only 32bit compatible, part of the reason I'm using CRU in the first place), those resolutions being 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1280x960, and 1280x1024. Currently I have to change my desktop resolution to the resolution the game will be running at in order to use the CRU-specified refresh rate, but of course that gets to be quite a hassle - especially for 640x480. And of course being a CRT, using 60hz can be headache-inducing, so I'm currently between a rock and a hard place. So basically is there anyway I can make the CRU-specified refresh rates the defaults on ALL resolutions? Alternatively is there someway to remove the 60hz settings from every resolution in a way similar to what ReForce aka RefreshForce does on Windows XP? As a last resort, is there a way to change the desktop resolution when a specific EXE runs and have the resolution go back to the previous setting when said EXE closes? |
