How do I setup a custom 1440p res in CCC

As in the title

I use a dell 3011 monitor @1600p but need to run it at 1440p for benchmarks. It is easy enough to do with my NVidia cards and NV control panel. Is there an easy way to do it in CCC for my AMD cards as I want to go Titan bashing in the near future.:D

Thanks.

This is the problem I am getting

I get the same thing with NCP, there is no option for 1440p but it allows me to create a custom resolution.
 
is it with a clean driver install? I sometimes get resolution options greyed out unless I uninstall using display driver uninstaller and do fresh driver install,then it lets me adjust things

other than that idk what you can try

I think the problem is HDTV only goes up to 1080i so CCC won't let me set a higher resolution, only a lower one.

I also think part of the problem is my monitor as I have always had a problem running 1440p whether I am using NV or AMD. Even if a program like Heaven 4 offers an option to run 1440p, once the program or game starts it will default back to 1600p. I don't have this problem with any other resolution only 1440p.

With NCP I can make a custom 1440p resolution and then it is available to set in windows which in turn allows me to set and run it in the program or game I am running.

I don't think the fault is with CCC, I think it is one of those quirky Dell things.

The only way to do this is with a registry hack (which you will lose every time you update your drivers).

Perhaps AMD should spend less time making silly twitter posts and more time fixing their control panel to add basic functionality the competition has had for years.

Thanks, at least that clears up the mystery.

Fortunately I am quite happy to use 1600p for normal use, it is only for benchmarks that 1440p would have been useful.:)
 
It's that lack of attention to detail which is one of the reasons I got rid of my last xfire 7950 setup (well that and xFire only working in full screen exclusive mode). Do you not agree that custom resolutions should be part and parcel of the CCC?

Anyway, well done on a typically reasoned and thought out response. It's a perfectly valid criticism, as much as you don't want to hear it.

No as i never use custom resolutions. I use resolutions that my monitor is capable of displaying (see my post above). Never had a problem with that. That said its possible to use a custom res using CRU.

Dell 30" displays are fully capable of displaying 1440p though. For some reason the EDID data does not present it to the driver software. Custom refresh rates are also a very useful feature, I have a few of them set on my own system to exactly match the framerate of the more popular video formats as the built in 23/24Hz modes are too far from the source material.

Saying that you don't think it is a feature that should be part of CCC just because you have no need for it is a pretty selfish viewpoint. This very thread (and the HOCP one I linked to)shows that people have a need for it. You shouldn't have to be using 3rd party tools or editing hex values in registry keys.

I have no need for it, I personally don't care whether its part of it or not. However Custom Resolutions and Custom Refresh Rates can be applied using CRU with a couple of mouse clicks if needed. Its no biggie as i tried a custom refresh rate once when overclocking my monitor.
