Q: Why should you add 60Hz screen mode to your 144Hz display?
A: Because you need it as a fallback resolution for some games/emulators to work fine in fullscreen mode, since they require a real 60Hz screen mode (e.g. Dark Souls II - Scholar of the First Sin; Cue Club 2; and a few others...)
How to:
- Download CRU freeware tool and run it
- Add a new "Standard resolution" below (you should have some slots left) f.e. 1920x1080@60Hz (and 120Hz if you want…)
- Click "Ok" to save and quit
- Reboot Windows, don't shutdown
If you (like me) see weird "dotted screen" ugly effect or other artifacts using 60Hz
Standard resolution in CRU when switching to this 60Hz screen mode, then you have to:
- Download CRU freeware tool and run it
- Add a new "Detailed resolution" above (you should start with 3 slots left): 1920x1080@60Hz and double 'total vertical' lines, e.g. 1222 to 2444:
- Click "Ok" to save and quit
- Reboot Windows, don't shutdown
Attached my settings (GL703GS with AUO B173HAN03.2) you can easily Import into CRU.
