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.
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
@bri7971 I'm on a laptop with an AMD cpu meaning things on ny screen go through my integrated gpu and since this program is made to force your gpu to force a screen res and not your igpu it just doesn't work
I'm using 2 monitors and 2 drive disks. A monitor doesn't work in the other disk and I can't enter to Nvidia Panel. I don't know what is going on... My motherboard was changed and this issue happen. Before that issue my monitors were working great. Do you know how to force to change the native resolution?

Hey bro , what about GPU vs display scaling what do you think better for less input lag , i heard its better nowadays to use GPU scaling over display scaling for less input lag?
@@Alchemytweaks Alienware AW2725DF. I no longer need the utility as Nvidia control panel solution worked for me (set scaling to 'GPU' & full screen), now all resolutions are working at all refresh rates (and show up in-game like that too which was the end goal)
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).
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.
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.
i changed my setting, it said need reset but i chose to restart my pc instead of the restart.exe, now i looks like my win11 is broken, it start flickering at the home screen, i couldnt do anything, how can i fix this?
Then you didn’t follow the instructions of the video , the restart.exe restarting your GPU . Now just reinstall the GPU driver or choose reset all from CRU and restart your GPU.
This does not let me set a resolution for 1440p - I am trying to use this software as when ever I turn on Nvidia Image Scaling I lose my native resolution and the ability to use 165Hz.

It's depends by what you do . If you try higher resolution than the current , if you try to overclock the hz of monitor, if you try to do the procedure in laptop's screen.
you should add information regarding disclaimer that this method will not work on laptop, other fact is you shouldn.t restart the laptop by clicking the restart64.exe, other guides mention just restart it via windows way instead. i was trying to change my laptop resolution from 1920x1200 to 1366x768 to do some job application test, but your method send my laptop directly to black screen, took me 2 hours to figure revert it via safe mode, your video is definitely not beginner's friendly

after doing all the steps, i cant see the custom resolution i just made. I can see all the old resolutions. I cant see the custom resolution i have just created / plzz help me brother
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.
I can't use my PC after changing refresh rate settings on my monitor Even after I deleted this software using another monitor I still can't use that monitor for my PC??

@@SkyyKeiron I wanted to avoid that step because doing it is always annoying. Is called HRC HotKey Resolution Changer v2.1 I recommend it if you want to avoid always opening the nvidia panel to change the resolution

Bro when i changed resolution on 1440x1080 i can't see anything on my screen and when i want go back to standard resolution my laptop is already on but my screen is full black wtf
When I deleted some resolutions like 4096X2160 in CRU, the nvidia control panel had many settings missing, like resolution and other important ones. Know of a fix other than resetting drivers?
What is the difference of timing option list? Like which one is better to choose? And everytime I open my pc I need to apply the 75hz does it have an option that fix?
Personally, from my limited experience with this program, I have never needed to reapply the CRU settings after each restart. As for the settings I didn't cover in the video, I haven't delved into them, so I cannot guide you. The only advice I can offer is to be very careful and conduct thorough research before taking any action.
Quick Question, I have used CRU for about a year on my XL2546K everything was done correctly and have had 0 issues. I have an OLED arriving tomorrow, and want to know if the settings I have on my current need to be reset or if I can just plug in the 27GR95QE and be fine?
@@Alchemytweaks I will not be tweaking this monitor with cru, just wondering if it will use the default edid of the new one, if I were to just swap them.
@Wrath__ Ahh ok , then it will reset everything but I suggest you to reset before you plug the new one because sometimes can cause black screens - bugs etc
That's true ,some of my clients who they had 360hz monitor they had the same problem .Do you think with other settings user fan use CRU with 360hz monitor ?
Can i fake the refresh rate of my elgato game capture from 60 to 360hz to match my main monitor? *because my main monitor gets capped to the lowest refresh rate if i connect the elgato, so that woul be a fix

Hello sir, everytime I opened my pc my screen was a little bit low brightness so I need to adjust it everytime to switch from 60hz again then revert it so it can high the brightness
hello, one issue, even tho i used to be able to run 1080p@75hz, i restarted windows, i used to be able to do this with nvidia control panel (custom resolution) but now it doesnt work so i tried this as well and nada i know my monitor should be able to do it, but when i do it this method even tho it says 1920x1080 it actually sets it to some 4:3 res @59, any idea how to fix this or should i just give it up?
I have a unusual problem i guess when i aplly my stretch res my screen gets shorter and on the left and righ tside are black strips can you help me fix it (im on laptop and intel)
if you use a laptop and you don't have a monitor, connect it to a tv with an hdmi cable and go back to your resolution, make it hd, then go to the app and remove the 4k option, if you have a desktop, disconnect it and reconnect it, if it doesn't work, when the pc is starting hold CTRL and press F8 as fast as you can multiple times until you see troubleshoot, and enablle safe mode, if it doesn't work, try it with a tv again.
@@vxrifyonkbm99 connect the pc to another monitor, and open the app, delete the 4k resolution, then go to resolution settings and make it hd or your reccomended resolution again.
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?
Why cant i just use nvidia control panel and set a custom res. Select no upscing and display. Im confused why people do this and then use cru. I have been doing this without cru? Should i use cru too as well?
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
@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 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
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?
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 .
@@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?
@@Alchemytweaks Gave it a try earlier and succeeded. Both resolutions match In the Display Settings, and everything set and done as in video. I did not notice any difference in gameplay/input lag. Feels exactly the same as Scaling>Full Screen and Perform Scaling: Display.
It's depends the resolution that you choose or the frequency (Hz) ...obviously I wouldn't uploading a video that has the potential to destroy something .
@@Alchemytweaks my laptop is 165hz i did same as you and it got to 60hz and the option to 165hz disappeared so I tried to do the same but with 165hz and it crashed, is it possible to switch between the two refresh rates ?
Hmmm the parameters and the info that you gave me have been changed . It could be because of that because you are in laptop but again I can't be sure , it's could be because of this or you should follow different method / procedure then the procedure from video
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!
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.
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?
Everytime i do it i get a a black split in the middle of my screen and I can see what ever is in the middle twice(I have a 240hz moniter) it also works normal but only when i set it to 60hz
@Sg_AimZzz what do you expect me to do ? You didn’t gave any useful information or details about your laptop model , about the default resolution of the laptop , about what settings did you changed…
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.
It's a possibility . I think one in comments tried the same and he had issues so I don't know , from the other hand I don't think so that you will have issues.
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?
Hey 👋 . I suggest you to try different ports of the cable of monitor , reset monitor settings if you can , reset the graphics card .Optional use different cable to revert the procedure.
I suppose you follow the instructions , i guess you select before and after No scaling in control panel ( for Nvidia ) for Radeon isn't necessary , Also i suppose you you set a res stretched or below than the default monitor resolution . I had a client who had the same problem with vertical bars because of his BenQ monitor .Do you have BenQ monitor ?
Hey , so you changed accidentally the res in because both monitors ? Reset all settings from CRU as a start and when you try it again select the monitor you want to change
Instantly after you set custom resolution? What is your monitor , what is your default resolution, what is your default frequency (hz), what is the monitor model, did OC the frequency?
@@Alchemytweaks i have same problem with glitching screen i have benq zowie xl2546k my default hz is 240hz i got glitching insstantly after custom resolution
hmm…I don’t know why , possibly because of a setting in your monitor from the monitor control panel? If I had the monitor front of me I could answer to you likely
@@Alchemytweaks thank you. Do you know if it's possible also on a laptop? I would like to scale a custom resolution with the display but I can do it only with gpu scaling...
I haven't something specific for this , i have also other videos that i must make first . Perhaps i will do some research but I'm not promising anything .

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.
@@Alchemytweaks so when ocing for performance i should go for the exact reduced one?
@@noseq probably yes...I would say it's a safe option to prevent issues it's not so about performance.
@@Alchemytweaks yea im currently overclocking my samsung s24d330 to 75hz in order to mainly reduce screen tearing
I did the same to my HP Pavilion 23xi monitor that I show on the video.
I do all right but when i set my res to 180hz (my monitor is 180hz) my image is very pixelated and blurry with black bars how can i fix this?
This can be a problem because of the res that did you set, apparently it’s a problem of the cable . You could try probably different settings/method.

Hello, how can I avoid the black screen when minimizing? it usually takes 1-2 seconds and is annoying. This only happens when using a custom resolution
Hello ! Unfortunately you can't do something for this ....except if you play windows full-screen in your games
when u use custom res. select the same custom res u use ingame from Nvidia settings before u open ur game
@@SkyyKeiron I wanted to avoid that step because doing it is always annoying. Is called HRC HotKey Resolution Changer v2.1 I recommend it if you want to avoid always opening the nvidia panel to change the resolution
Hey, so I did this and accidentally made the standard resolution something different, I pressed restart64 and now my screen is just black, btw I’m on laptop and I have tried restarting my drivers with Win+Ctrl+Shift+B and it’s still black, can you please help me
Did you changed the res of the monitor orthe panel of your laptop ? Also did you tried higher hz (refresh rate)
@@Alchemytweaks it’s fine I found a fix, thanks though
Bro when i changed resolution on 1440x1080 i can't see anything on my screen and when i want go back to standard resolution my laptop is already on but my screen is full black wtf
Which is the default resolution of the screen of laptop , also did you tried with the same frequency (hz) or did you tried to OC it?
You success to resolved the probleme ?
When I deleted some resolutions like 4096X2160 in CRU, the nvidia control panel had many settings missing, like resolution and other important ones. Know of a fix other than resetting drivers?
It’s depends the resolution that you delete etc so no you can’t do something for this , each res has his specific settings
What is the difference of timing option list? Like which one is better to choose? And everytime I open my pc I need to apply the 75hz does it have an option that fix?
Personally, from my limited experience with this program, I have never needed to reapply the CRU settings after each restart. As for the settings I didn't cover in the video, I haven't delved into them, so I cannot guide you. The only advice I can offer is to be very careful and conduct thorough research before taking any action.
Quick Question,
I have used CRU for about a year on my XL2546K everything was done correctly and have had 0 issues.
I have an OLED arriving tomorrow, and want to know if the settings I have on my current need to be reset or if I can just plug in the 27GR95QE and be fine?
New monitor means you need to repeat the procedure,, I suggest you to reset everything by now in order to tomorrow to be ok
@@Alchemytweaks I will not be tweaking this monitor with cru, just wondering if it will use the default edid of the new one, if I were to just swap them.
@Wrath__ Ahh ok , then it will reset everything but I suggest you to reset before you plug the new one because sometimes can cause black screens - bugs etc
Wonderful tool worked on lenovo ideapad 1 15amn7 on win 10 without issues
Thanks for the comment man
Doesn't work for 360 hz monitor,i try every res,when i type 360 hz,red number on it and no ok option,only could get 29)
That's true ,some of my clients who they had 360hz monitor they had the same problem .Do you think with other settings user fan use CRU with 360hz monitor ?
Can i fake the refresh rate of my elgato game capture from 60 to 360hz to match my main monitor?
*because my main monitor gets capped to the lowest refresh rate if i connect the elgato, so that woul be a fix
I don’t know , you have to try this . Probably you should search first in forums for something similar.
@@Alchemytweaks Hmm okay. Is it a overclock if i „fake“ a higher refresh rate with cru? Or its just on „paper“
It’s likely over clock
@@Alchemytweaks ohh thats not good😅 just wanna spoof it on paper to trick windows
Unfortunately, I haven't elgato on my hands to have tried this and know if it can work or not ... I assume if you search deep to figure it out. If you ever need further assistance come to my server .
Hello sir, everytime I opened my pc my screen was a little bit low brightness so I need to adjust it everytime to switch from 60hz again then revert it so it can high the brightness

if you use a laptop and you don't have a monitor, connect it to a tv with an hdmi cable and go back to your resolution, make it hd, then go to the app and remove the 4k option, if you have a desktop, disconnect it and reconnect it, if it doesn't work, when the pc is starting hold CTRL and press F8 as fast as you can multiple times until you see troubleshoot, and enablle safe mode, if it doesn't work, try it with a tv again.

Thank you! For me it's very helpful.
Why cant i just use nvidia control panel and set a custom res. Select no upscing and display.
Im confused why people do this and then use cru.
I have been doing this without cru? Should i use cru too as well?
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
@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??
OC on hz yes , I haven’t search to answer it if something changed in 11
@ALCHEMYTWEAKS thanks for answering I have beem doing my head in going why do I need to use this lol
@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
why is it not working on my computer after i click reset the resolution still doesn't change
Laptop or PC? Follow the procedure of reset that I show otherwise perhaps you need to follow different procedure
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?
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 .
@@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 .
@@Alchemytweaks Gave it a try earlier and succeeded. Both resolutions match In the Display Settings, and everything set and done as in video. I did not notice any difference in gameplay/input lag. Feels exactly the same as Scaling>Full Screen and Perform Scaling: Display.
and control panel isn't complitable with my device since i my gpu is from nvidia@@Alchemytweaks
everything went black on me and had to use a second monitor to reset everything I never got this scared before
It's depends the resolution that you choose or the frequency (Hz) ...obviously I wouldn't uploading a video that has the potential to destroy something .
@@Alchemytweaks my laptop is 165hz i did same as you and it got to 60hz and the option to 165hz disappeared so I tried to do the same but with 165hz and it crashed, is it possible to switch between the two refresh rates ?
Hmmm the parameters and the info that you gave me have been changed . It could be because of that because you are in laptop but again I can't be sure , it's could be because of this or you should follow different method / procedure then the procedure from video
@@Alchemytweaks okay man thanks
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!
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.
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?
Honestly I have no idea , perhaps you should consider to contact with them
Will do, thanks anyways!
Everytime i do it i get a a black split in the middle of my screen and I can see what ever is in the middle twice(I have a 240hz moniter) it also works normal but only when i set it to 60hz
With those settings from the video?
@@Alchemytweaks yes

So I have a tv that does 145 at 720 and 1080 but when I do all that it just shows 59 and 60
Yes but it's a TV not a monitor and that's means maybe you must follow different procedure or even you can't just use this tool for TV.
@@Alchemytweaks ok
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.
It’s not about the GPU it’s about the monitor …
I just got black screen i have normaly 1920:1080 i wanted to do 1800:1080 qnd now i have black screen
