Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[aeneas1]

i've been experimenting with nvidia custom resolutions and it's a very straightforward process... the problem is additional nvidia control panel settings such "output color depth" and "output color format" don't work with any of these custom resolutions.

for example if i select a stock resolution of 1920 x 1080 from the nvidia control panel, under "output color format" i can select rgb, ycbcr422 or ycbcr444, and from there, under "output color depth", i can select 8, 10 or 12 bpc.

but these options either aren't available or won't stick when using a nvidia control panel custom resolution such a 1920 x 817.

muddying the waters, custom resolutions and color formats can easily be done if i use intel's igpu instead of a discreet card by simply going into the "intel graphics experience" app.

adding to the problem, because i can't select a color format and/or a color depth when using a nvidia control panel custom resolution, color depth is forced to 8-bit which means windows 10 hdr can't be toggled on.

in short, from my testing so far, setting custom resolutions in nvidia's control panel prevents me from using wcg settings.

is there a way to use the cru utility to get around this issue? i've had great luck with cru in the past, with intel's igpu, before i added a discreet card, but now when i create a custum res with cru it doesn't show in the nvidia control panel, only custom resolutions i create in the nvidia control panel show up.

UPDATE -

i did the following which seems to have worked in that nvidia's control panel now shows the custom resolutions i set up in cru which i can, from within nvidia's control panel, apply additional settings to such as subsampling and color bit.

- added my custom resolutions in the detailed resolution box at the top of the utility's first page.

- edited the the extension block appearing in the bottom box of the first page.

- the edited included nothing more than deleting all of the "detailed resolutions" appearing in this box.

so far so good, everything seems to be working just fine - is there any obvious problems with what i did, that will cause probs down the road?
