HOWTO: Settings For Full Panel Crosstalk-Free Low-Lag Strobing (ViewSonic XG2431)

[herdinstinct]

Howdy all,

I am having an issue where my XG2431 monitor onboard hud is displaying 60hz with a148.4mhz pixel clock (Setup Menu-> Information-> Pixel Clock), even though toastyX is showing 594.00mhz.

Having followed the "Vertical Total Calculator" method, I am able to achieve the desired results at both 85hz and 120hz (593.92mhz & 594mhz respectively) but not with 60hz - the option I actually want to use.

Could there be an issue with one of my extension block settings? As a sanity check I ran the "reset-all" application included with the v1.5.2 CRU-toastyX zip. Then once again walked through the steps, which resulted in the same outcome.

Any recommendations for how I should proceed from here?

other notes:
My 3060ti has up-to-date drivers and I am using an 8k hdmi 2.0 cable to connect the monitor with the card. I could not get 60hz working with my displayport cables (black screen). Since this hdmi cable seems to work for 85hz & 120hz (with the correct pixel clock values) I wouldnt expect the hdmi cable also being the cause of my issue with 60hz.

My uneducated theory is that somehow my toastyX 60hz resolution is being overwritten by something. I am also unsure exactly why there is a 144hz and 100hz options available in this dropdown when they are not shown in toastyX. In my windows Advanced Display Settings I am given many more (15)options for refresh rates from 23.976hz - 239.761hz. If this isnt relevant to my issue then please ignore this bit - just trying to provide any information that may be helpful.

First use the frequencies here as the ones in NVCP are not the ones to use.


Try using a vertical total of 4000
