NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher

[DiscordantApple]

Really big thanks for this useful tool. Prior to 451.67 I only needed Nvidia's own create custom resolution or CRU to get the monitor pixel clock above 500MHz. Doing so I could fix getting >120hz when Freesync enabled on my Samsung LC27JG54QQEXXY via HDMI.

When 451.67 came out with a release note fix for "The refresh rate of 144Hz-capable HDMI displays cannot be set above 120 Hz. [3038540]", I was expecting a potential official fix. Yet the driver update actually broke things worse so that my monitor can't even hit >120hz even with Freesync disabled with both aforementioned tools no longer able to help.

After a brief search about pixel clock monitor issues, I found this thread. Applying this patcher lets my monitor pixel clock back up to 600MHz also with a small 148hz overclock included.

However one side-effect issue I'm facing as a result of applying the patcher is Moonlight's Nvidia Gamestream gives a blank screen on the connecting device. A workaround I'm using is to restore undo the patcher after booted for Moonlight to work again while still keeping the higher pixel clock benefit. However it means having to reapply the patcher before shutting down (due to restart being required for patching to take effect) and undoing the patch before being able to use Moonlight. Putting the PC to hibernate helps with dealing with the workaround a little but it's definitely not ideal.
