Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

If you use CRU, the higher resolution is sent to the monitor. CRU uses EDID overrides to tell the video driver what resolutions are supported by the monitor. CRU would need to work completely differently to be able to support vendor-specific downsampling methods.

Thanks for the response, but why then different monitors can go to different maximum resolutions and why the connector(dvi/hdmi) limits the maximum resolution? I mean if it scales by the gpu these should both be nonexistent as limitations, but they are there (with AMD).
