Hi guys,

Im using MSI Optix mpg341cqr (144hz UWide) and i overclocked to 200hz and 215hz works too.
I did on Nvidia panel but i can only play on windowed mode or windowed fullscreen... If im using fullscreen it automatically change to 144hz.

How can i fix that ?

Thanks.

Wow, nice MSI overclock of 144 Hz to 215 Hz.

To fix that, there are two approaches:
(A) Delete 144 Hz in ToastyX CRU
--or--
(B) Create a different resolution that only has one refresh rate.

My technique is to delete about 1 or 2 pixels from visible resolution, and add 1 or 2 to Vertical Front Porch. I use this trick to force certain games to run at certain unique refresh rates, by forcing some custom resolutions to have only one refresh rate available. I've been using a 1920x1079 trick in some of my games to force a specific refresh rate into a game that stubbornly selects a different refresh rate. By switching resolutions via game settings, I enforce a refresh rate.

After your next reply, I will split your MSI Optix overclocking question to a new thread.

Hey, thanks for answering,

I can't go over 119hz in my native resolution with CRU, is that normal ?
Like i said, i can go 3440x1440@200hz, and lower resolutions @215hz with custom on Nvidia Panel


200hz (native resolution) on Nvidia Panel :

200hz (native resolution) on CRU :

119hz MAX on CRU :

And with 1920x1080 i can go with 215hz added on CRU and restarted computer, but the frequency doesn't appear on Nvidia Panel or CS:GO.
I'm a bit new in Monitor OC ^^, and just wanna play 1920x1080@215hz in CS:GO and 3440x1440@200hz in Dota2.

Thanks for helping ;)

Add a display ID as an extension block on the bottom, and add your resolution there, anything over a certain rate won't show up where you put them

I have the same monitor and anything over 144hz just isn't smooth, can you please share how you did it??

When making the mode in the nvidia panel, you should examine the timings. Post them here.

When you create a custom mode in the nvidia control panel, you can see the timings of that mode (Active pixels, Front porch, etc.):

So can then try to copy the exact same timings in CRU and see if it works then.
