My Nvidia control panel allows me to successfully create a new 120hz screen resolution. Some text is blurry on things like driver update Windows.
Will CRU utility do anything differently from creating the custom resolution in the Nvidia control panel?

It shouldn't matter if the timing parameters are the same, but some games will not recognize the refresh rate unless you use CRU.

If CRU utility will provide a better outcome with better latency then I'll try it but would appreciate some clearer instructions as those in the OP didn't work for me. Thanks.

If you use restart.exe and get a black screen, you should be able to press F8 to recover. If not, you can undo the changes in safe mode.

Make sure to add HDMI support:

• Some monitor/GPU combinations can bypass the 165 MHz HDMI limit without patching the driver by importing one of these extension block files:
  • hdmi.dat (HDMI support only)
  • hdmi-audio.dat (HDMI support with audio)
  • hdmi-bitstream.dat (HDMI support with bitstreaming for A/V receiver)
