Reset my resolutions to their original state using cru (to erase the cru settings i had made), reinstalled nvidia's latest drivers, and then edited the nvidia registry entry (nv_modes) found in this path, per toastyx's suggestion: You'll be working with the extension blocks area - i created 3 extension blocks for my resolutions because you can only enter 3 resolutions per block, i needed more than 3 resolutions: specifically, editing the "video capability" data block seemed to fix my issues with "gpu scaing" in nvcp not working (gpu scaling is a must for my needs, my display (projector) needs to be able to see a standard resolution in order for all of the display options to work properly, otherwise some are greyed out. but if it fails at least i'll have this working alternative, albeit it may be less elegant.Īnyway, the key seemed to be working with extension blocks in cru, as opposed to the detailed and standard resolution boxes on cru's first/main page.
How to remove custom resolution nvidia trial#
anyway, yes, i finally got it to work using cru after lots of trial and error, and i have no idea if it's the best approach, the most elegant approach, but it just works, which is good enough for me! btw, fwiw, today i'll be trying to add my custom resolutions directly to nvidia's resolutions registry entry (nv-modes), according to toastyx it shouldn't be a prob at all. honestly, i forgot that i had made this post here at avs given i have made the same post at so many other forums. So far so good, everything seems to be working just fine, and if i run into a problem it's very easy to reset everything to it's original state using the utility.Ĭlick to expand. the edited included nothing more than deleting all of the "detailed resolutions" appearing in this box. edited the the extension block appearing in the bottom box of the first page. added my custom resolutions in the detailed resolution box at the top of the utility's first page.
How to remove custom resolution nvidia Pc#
Have been playing around with toastyx's custom resolution utility (cru) and it appears that there is a way to use the utility to set custom resolutions that nvidia will recognize and display in the nv control panel (under pc resolutions) - most importantly, you can use the nv control panel to apply wcg settings (subsampling, bit-depth, etc.) to these custom resolutions and use windows' hdr toggle if you choose. I'm really at a loss here given that i've always run my setup and desktop in scope mode with wcg capability using windows' simple igpu, it worked perfectly, but somehow it's not possible using a top of the line video card like the 2080 ti? how is this even possible? do you happen to know if it can be done with any of the amd cards? or is it something that used to be possible with older nvidia drivers? subsampling and bit-depth settings can't be set or don't stick. anyway, played around with it and it gave me renewed hope, only to discover that in the end it produced the same damn behavior as custom resolutions, i.e. thanks for pointing "resize" out, i'm new to nvidia cards and hadn't noticed this setting. Is this a known issue? are there any workarounds? any help would be appreciated.Ĭlick to expand. In short, from my testing so far, setting custom resolutions in nvidia's control panel prevents you from using wcg settings. Muddying the waters, custom resolutions and color formats can easily be done if you're using the intel's igpu instead of a discreet card by simply going into the "intel graphics experience" app, so why can't it be done using nvidia's control panel?Īdding to the problem, because you can't select a color format and/or a color depth when using a custom resolution set in the nvidia control panel, and instead are forced to use the default settings (8 bpc, etc.), you cannot toggle on windows' hdr. the problem is additional nvcp settings such "output color depth" and "output color format" don't work with any custom resolutions, why not?įor 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.īut these options either aren't available or won't stick when using a custom resolution such a 1920 x 817, why is that? I've been experimenting with nvidia custom resolutions, including a 1920 x 817 rez as shown below in the quoted old post, and it's a very straightforward process. A google search led me to a 7 year old avs post by Chronoptimist (shown below) that touches on what i'm trying to figure out, and i'm hoping someone might be able to help me out.
