(FOR PC USERS) How to use Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[@Alchemytweaks]

Generally, I notice quite a few users with issues, especially laptop users. Therefore, I recommend, first of all, not using CRU on laptops. Beyond that, if you have an external monitor, I can't predict the problems that may occur. I personally use it on two of my PCs without any issues. Lastly, try to stick to the video and avoid experimenting too much.

[@DyyscooRust]

Hey can you help me, When I use CRU I get a mirrored line down the middle of the screen how do i fix it?

[@Alchemytweaks]

You not giving me enough information to help you . Tell me type of monitor , the default settings , what did you tried to do with the CRU and if you have nvidia or amd Radeon GPU

I can't find ANY information about how you identify each monitor. I have 5 monitors connected (including one phantom monitor because windows identifies my HDMI arc soundbar as a video output device) the default names in the utility don't match the names ascribed to them in windows, Nvidia or any other program. According to the utility, I have 3 identically named monitors. So I have no way of knowing which monitor I'm adjusting because there's no further information on which monitor is represented by which name!!!🤷💁🤮

The refresh rate changes, yes. My issue here is the fact that I put 75 hz in my monitor and it makes the screen more low quality and changes color when i open apps ( i tried to open intel graphics command center and it changed colors).

[@Alchemytweaks]

From what I see you use integrated graphics and you tried to OC the monitor to 75? It’s logical to have issues sometimes because not all monitors can be OC without issues i.

[@y_u_an]

@@Alchemytweaks Does it depend on the monitor or the actual processor itself? I dont know much about computers or anything

[@Alchemytweaks]

The hz overclocking it’s depends completely by your monitor model. For instance my HP pavilion 23xi monitor can be OC from 60hz to 76hz without any issue and with the same settings (colors, resolution etc). So it’s depends, try different configuration and experiment more maybe.

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU HAVE NVIDIA GPU! ESPECIALLY DO NOT DELETE PREMADE RESOLUTIONS LIKE HE DID. Doing what he did also deletes resolutions in Nvidia control panel so only custom res remains. Upon next boot you will have a black screen because Nvidia control panel doesnt load custom res by default so you will have to completely erase drivers and install older ones (because some cache remains even with clean install) and later update to latest ones.

[@Alchemytweaks]

Nvidia control panel for yes can do stretch and can OC your hz .With CRU you can exchange them and keep them “forever” without need to re do anything again and again . But generally no need to use CRU and in terms of performance I don’t think so that there is any huge improvement

[@c523jw7]

@ALCHEMYTWEAKS ok I was wondering If it had to do with active signal being my tv native res. I didn't check after hitting no upscale. But I set a custom res and it stays when I turn of my computer. I set a custom res then change it via the settings in Windows and not control panel. Then change to the custom res in game. The scaling is correct as well cus if I go 1440p.it shrinks it to the size on my 4k tv without stretching the image ( black bars). I set custom res like 3840 x 1600 this way. Has control panel been updated and Windows 11 makes it easier? What does oc your hertz mean??

[@Alchemytweaks]

OC on hz yes , I haven’t search to answer it if something changed in 11

[@c523jw7]

@ALCHEMYTWEAKS thanks for answering I have beem doing my head in going why do I need to use this lol

[@c523jw7]

​@ALCHEMYTWEAKS I'm understanding why now. It's the active signal res won't change. Also when I select gpu scaling ( it's less input lag for me because I use a tv I believe) my active signal goes to 4096x 2160 instead of 3840 x 2160 and puts borders on my screen. Nvidia really messed up gpu scaling for 4k TV's. I'm trying this method to see how it goes. Hopefully gpu scaling works here becusse it is smoother imo

any idea on if a higher pixil clock produces less ghosting or a clearer image? or is it the opposite that a higher pixil clock means they also take longer to refresh?

Cheers Alchemyst, hope you do well. I was keen to adjust some settings on my Dell U4025QW using CRU. CRU shows the Display name, unfortunately, it wont show me the used resolution of 5120x2160. When trying to add it, text is red, so I even cant add is as a profile. Do you have any idea to add the profile in CRU? reason being, I do have extrem high VRAM values in idle, causing idle watts usage of around 105watts, therefore I wanted to adjust the vertical blanking lines... Have a good one!

[@Alchemytweaks]

Hi, the problem probably is that you want the CRU to add the specific resolution. If with the method by the video you can’t find any solution things get complicated. Your monitor by default supports that resolution or are you trying a different? If it’s the default do you set the same hz (frequency) or different? In general this tool can get complex by monitor to monitor and nobody can predict the behaviour individually for each monitor.

[@seamusgiacomo]

Wow, thanks for the prompt response! Yes, its all native by the monitor, resolution and Hz are just default! Maybe they didn't add it yet as the model was launched just beginning 2024?

[@Alchemytweaks]

Honestly I have no idea , perhaps you should consider to contact with them

[@seamusgiacomo]

Will do, thanks anyways!

[@blackknight9710]

it only works for me when i just change the resolution to something higher in manual mode(default for me) and restart the laptop and it works!

The frequency of your monitor is 144hz or anything ? And I ask if you set that frequency when you try a resolution or you set a different frequency (150hz for instance) with the same resolution? ALSO do you USE THE DEFAULT RESOLUTION of your monitor or a different?

[@flyingsaucers1332]

Why would one use CRU instead of Nvidia control panel and set the Scaling to Fullscreen? This question is not related only to valorant game but in general. Is input lag reduced? The feel of the game is better?

[@Alchemytweaks]

I will answer simply , you can't secure the stretch only from control panel , CRU is an easiest way to that and secure the stretch and play with the resolution ! frequency of monitor (hz) , it's the program that will reduce the input lag but the resolution that you will use .

[@flyingsaucers1332]

@@Alchemytweaks So you are sayimg there will be distinctive difference between CRU and stretching viaNvidia CP? Also, if one was to setup 2 resolutions for different games in CRU (and that resolution is set in game) is there a manual part I have to do each time Im opening the game?

yes you must set the resolution that each time you open the game. I'm saying is that what am saying above .

The main difference is the bandwidth and the signal power between your display and GPU . If you intend to use higher refresh rates or try OC on hz definitely is better the exact reduced , the exact is better for more accurate and better quality.
