Cannot Add Custom Res, Nvidia Control Panel

Monitor - Philips EVNIA 27M2N8500 1440p 360hz 27"

GPU - RTX 4080 Super, is the MSI Ventus version

Current GPU Driver - 566.36

im trying to create a custom resolution in the control panel but it is always greyed out.

i have tried many videos and previous threads on similar if not the same subject but cannot

find anything that helps me.

i have tried a regedit tutorial which did not work, setting changes in NCP, reset panel to default, changing resolutions, refresh rates, different cables,

different ports on my gpu and mobo, different drivers with and without using DDU. had the issue previous to a recent new windows install and it still

persists

any help would be great :D

Problem with games in fullscreen mode

Everytime I play a videogame in fullscreen mode I get a sort of glitching effect at the bottom of the screen, but when i play it in fullscreen borderless mode it dissapears. I've have windows 11 and I've already disabled gaming bar permission to run in background and I've noticed that recording the game using the gaming bar, the video recorded doesn't shows the glitching effect. Any help would be appreciated.

Hex value for 1680x720 and 1260x540

Currently i've been testing some games on my phone via wine emulation through winlator and the results are amazing but since phones in general aren't too strong and there are some games on my libary that needs to edit the .exe via hex edition i need the 8 hex digits for both values.

PBP, high refresh/VRR, and HDR monitor suggestions?

I'm looking for a 32:9 monitor that will accept two inputs so it looks like two 16:9s to Windows, runs at 120Hz or higher, and has good HDR support. Does such a thing exist?

Need Tips on what Monitor to buy

Hello guys,

I finally upgraded my PC to this decade and obviously I now feel my monitor falling behind since right now I have a curved 27" FHD Monitor with 60hz from 2018 I think. Now I'm wondering if I should get a new 27" or go to 32", either option in 2k. What features does it "need"? I'm mainly using it for gaming, some competitive (Delta Force) and a lot of singleplayer games like Cyberpunk or M&B Bannerlord.

The PC is a Ryzen 7 7800X3D build with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Hellhound graphics card.

If this is the wrong subreddit for such questions, please excuse :-)

DOOM (2016) Hud element stretch on widescreen

I've got FWS running and I can adjust my weapon fov just fine. However, Certain hud elements are stretching out, such as text boxes and notifications. You can see VEGA's dialogue box and the upgrade text at the bottom are stretched. Is there a way to add a UI "safe zone" to fix the stretching? Or some other fix. It seems that these elements still think they're in 16:9, and are stretching across the whole screen instead of being bound to the correct ratio.

Elden Ring Widescreen in 2025?

I've used flawless widescreen before without any issues, I'm aware of the usual fix of renaming the .exe and adding appID but that doesn't work anymore. When I use flawless widescreen it just tells me:

Could not find FOVAdjustment injection point, Elden Ring may have updated to a version that is no longer supported.

Try restarting Elden Ring or selecting a different version and re-enable the fix.

________________

I have reinstalled the software and Elden Ring, I have also validated the game files. Any ideas?

EDIT: Solved by seemingly getting both x64 and x86 version of Visual C++ as well as the specific version they list on the flawless widescreen website.

Nvidia Surround "Display Connection Error" with M32U and some Other Monitors

I posted this as I spent ages searching for a solution and couldn't find any.
I hope this helps if you are reading.

I got 3 monitors today and I couldn't get Nvidia Surround to work
1 x Gigabyte M32U
2 x Gigabyte GS32Q

I had to do a few hours of troubleshooting.

It turned out it was the main monitor M32U, and it would not play well with other monitors.
While testing I also found I could not do a Quad-Monitor setup when I pulled out my spare 4k Dell.

Solution
I plugged the M32U into HDMI 2.1
All other monitors are plugged into DP ports, then it worked.

Comparison

Considering I tried so many things, I guess there is something I couldn't or didn't try that the HDMI 2.1 limited in the M32U and that made the sync issue go away.

Now my M32U can't go to 144HZ @ 4K on HDMI, So I have it connected to both HDMI and DP and I Switch between them depending if I'm using Surround or not.

PUBG and ultrawide(G9 OLED) 49"

Hello!

I'm trying to get PUBG to run with black bars.

Screen resolution: 5120x1440

In-game resolution: 2560x1440

In the menu it's fine.. But when I get in a game it will stretch the picture to fill the whole screen..... I've changed some things in NVIDIA Control panel....

I put "No scaling", GPU scaling and ticked the override option.

The only workaround I've found is to change to borderless and back to fullscreen... Then I keeps my black bars.. But I would like to not have to do that everytime I launch the game... It might even revert when I minimize the game and back.

Any suggestions?

Cant use the ultrawide fix for Okami HD

The reveal of an Okami Sequel got me interested to play through the original again, and was trying to use this mod to get it to work in ultrawide. When I download it I can open the archive and view the files, but if I try to extract or copy anything out I get the following error:

"Error 0x80071771 the specified file is encrypted and the user does not have the ability to decrypt it"

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Why are some ultrawide monitors shorter in height than other brands?

Example Samsung Odyssey and Xiaomi curved monitors appear shorter, while other brands appear taller in height. Could someone explain why as I'm looking at affordable 1440p monitors but some have a different appearance I'm trying to avoid.

Current list of TRUE triple monitor compatible games?

When I say true compatibility, I'm speaking specifically to how iRacing handles triple monitors with the ability to project 3 images and adjust for monitor angles. I'm been searching up and down for a current 2024 list, but haven't seen anything. The listings on wsgf website lumps super ultrawide and surround resolutions with this, but they all inevitably look distorted regardless of FOV.

Thoughts?

Monitor Layout question

I just got the last cable I needed to get my 3rd monitor going. I noticed however If I try to put them in windows as it is physically laid out (screenshot) then I cannot have the mouse jump from monitor 3 to 1 without going back and pathing to monitor 2 first. Is there a way to fix that without having 3 and 1 touch in the display setting?
