RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
Hi ToastyX,

I am using the 144hz capable ASUS ROG pg278q with two 7970 AMD cards in CF. Of course i cannot use G-sync or ULMB with those AMD cards. The reason i bought the monitor back then is because it was the only one with 144hz and a nice resolution of 2560x1440@144hz. It connects over a displayport cable.

The problem i have is that all 15.xx and newer AMD drivers do not allow to run this monitor at 144hz anymore but limit it to 120hz.

With a little bit of pain, i can manage to install the 14.11.2beta driver on windows 10 which works just fine at 144hz with some rare crashes when switching refresh rates, but i don't need to, so it's OK.
However, windows 10 is a pain in the ass, forcing driver updates with every new system update, and so it's quite a bore having to install the old driver every time again, plus i might be missing some important bug fixes/new features.

I think this cannot be fixed with the CRU utility because i read a post where you said that it does not do anything for the Display port. Is that true?
I actually tried to set a custom 144hz resolution with it, but my monitor told me that it was out of range, so i had to F8 my way back.

So my question would be. Is there any way to force the newer 15.xx drivers to identify my monitor as 144hz instead of 120hz? Maybe some registry entry? Maybe copy something from the old 14.11.2 beta driver over which works perfectly fine at 144hz?
Or maybe edit the driver itself?


I wrote on the AMD forum about it, sent them an email, used their special form and it has been several months but they do not seem to care much or have other reasons they decided to limit this monitor to 120hz ( i read a lot of people had flicker problems at 144hz which i did not)
