Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

The graphics driver automatically adds common lower resolutions as scaled resolutions, but CRU can remove all the non-scaled resolutions and make sure only the refresh rates you want are available.

My questions:
1. What should I do to get madvr custom modes tab back or is there another way to figure out settings which would result in a higher estimated time of dropped frames in madvr?

That sounds like a bug in madVR. I have a pixel clock calculator that gives you the totals needed to make slight adjustments, but you'll need to figure out which direction you need to go: https://www.monitortests.com/pixelclock....=24&rate=1

Before I did what I described above and at the time I still had the madvr custom mode settings I tried to add a detailed manually with the settings from madvr in cru. Even though the mode was successfully tested in madvr I was not able to add the numbers with cru. Cru showed the 1276 in horizontal front porch in red and the ok button was disabled. Question is why and is there a way to create it anyhow?

EDID detailed resolutions don't allow horizontal front porches that high. Either swap the front and back porches (the blanking/total is what's important), or add a DisplayID extension block, which allows detailed resolutions with higher limits.

Somtimes I got that the marantz EDID was not read correctly (at least thats what I am assuming) which results in not having all resolutions available in nvidia drivers (like no 4k) and windows sound can‘t be set to Atmos anymore. At least the nvidia problem is often solved with a reboot but enabling atmos in windows does not work for some time now (even though it is there to be selected but it does not stick. Since I still get atmos in movies I am not too worried about that it‘s more a principle thing ) Any ideas what I could do to ensure windows is receiving the correct information from my marantz (beside placing a hardware edid faker between pc and avr)

That seems like a hardware flaw. I don't know a way around that.
