AW2721D - CRU doesn't show 240Hz

Post by StareX » 12 May 2021, 09:53

Hey,

I can't seem to set 240Hz on CRU nor see any datablock or whatnot that states a 240hz mode, it just appears in NVIDIA control panel.

Is it the same for the rest of AW2721D owners? please do share ur CRU, maybe it's my DP cable that came with my monitor?

Why do you need to do this? Mine works just fine in 240Hz using Nvidia's control panel, or in Windows settings.

Alt tabbing are slow for me, and I want thr monitor to lock into one single mod. Do you have that too?

Delete all monitor profiles from the list such as "DELA179 - Dell...", press ok, then restart pc (don't use restart.exe in this case).
Make sure your game is set to same resolution and refresh rate as desktop. If game remembers old resolution/refresh rate change it to something else and back to offered (max res./hz).
Not sure if this would work but that's what would I do.

...double check if u're using DP cable.

Doesnt work.. I do see a "Vendor specific settings" inside the extension blocks but I cant access it, its grayed out.

The 240hz is in there, I bet.

I want to do the Alt tab fix thing.. but I cant seem to do so :(

I didn't see you actually have 240Hz in nvidia panel, just use 240 from there. Or even from windows advanced display settings. Try 240 from both if u're able to.
The slow alt-tabing issue can be fixed other ways I believe. Like I said before it looks like your ingame refresh rate/resolution is not matching desktop refresh rate/resolution. Make sure those two are the same. Alt-tab for you probably takes as much time as switching to other refresh rate. Maybe windows or nvidia panel have slightly different refreshes like 239.76 vs 240 or something similar and game is set to wrong one.
I'm also not sure about this one but its and idea you could try.

btw what game are we talking about here? Is it only one or multiple games?

What are you talking about? I think you don't understand what I'm looking for.

240Hz works everywhere, period.
It's not an issue with the refresh rate or the monitor.

What I'm talking about is forcing the monitor to work in One single mode which is ONLY 240Hz.

I tested it on the VG259QM, my old PG279Q and the Samsung Odessy G7 27inch monitors, all monitors allowed me to force ONE single refresh rate which made Alt tabbing MUCH quicker and switching between apps a lot faster.

But on my AW2721D I don't see the option for 240Hz inside CRU, but on Odessy G7 or ASUS VG259QM I can see the 239.xx Hz numbers in either extention block or Standard Resolution inside CRU.


Bottom line, I want to force my AW2721D to show 240Hz ONLYYYY, not 200, not 180, not 144, not 100 and not 60. Just 240Hz.

The alt tab "fix" works either in a res that the number of the secondary pixels is lowered by 1, but I cant input 240 in CRU (it makes it red)

Or FORCING the monitor to a single mode, forcing it to 240Hz ONLY.

I understood you have very slow alt-tabbing issue so you wanted to play around with cru to fix it...

So I just noted that if your game refresh rate was synced with desktop refresh than you wouldn't have to force single refresh rate mode.

Good luck :)

Tho still it feels faster on other monitors and on mine not so much
