Custom Resolutions

Custom resolutions allow end users to the ultimate flexibility to add virtually any resolution and refresh for their display. If users want to use a unique resolution or refresh rate that is not available through windows control panels, this control will let users manually add any mode. The software will perform a check to make sure the end user defined resolution and refresh rate are supported by the graphics card.

The steps below will show you how to add a custom resolution:

• Browse to the NVIDIA Display Properties by right mouse clicking on the Windows desktop and selecting NVIDIA Display.
