    Yes but even the Radeon 7870 has 2560 x 1440 maximum resolution. I see so many people downscaling from 3840x2160 on their 1920x1080 LCD's.

    So is there a way for me to do the same?

    I just thought about that too... my system is stuck at a max of 2720x1530... I can't got any higher at all.

    Try that res btw, to see if it works for you.

    Hi Derko1,

    It works ... but the image is very blocky. Almost as if it's a lower resolution. But it shows 2720x1530.

    I'm not majorly tech minded with regards to things like this, But would anyone have any idea's if CRU could be used on my Monitor to go higher than 1920x1080 ( native res )

    LG W2261VP Full HD TFT LCD 22" HDMI Monitor

    And what resolutions would I be able to get? I'm a bit finicky with this since I don't want to go too high and cause damage to it.

    7000 can cards only do 2720x1530 max.

    Yeah that's not exactly what I asked is it lol.

    I asked if anybody knew if I could exceed my res of 1920x1080 on that particular monitor without causing damage to it.

    I only asked since I want to go higher than 1080p but only to the maximum my monitor can unofficially support, As I said, I'm not a technical minded guru when it comes to going over what I've got in terms of hardware but I'm really interested to see how far I can go within the boundaries and without blowing my monitor.

    A temporary workaround can be found here. Also, it works with 13.3 beta2 or any future drivers which doesn't properly work with AMD Downsampling Tool.

    English version of AMD Downsampling Tool can be downloaded from here.

    Not having that much luck with the downsampling since getting my 7970 last week.

    Followed the above guide to make a custom res of 2880x1620 in 12.11, added fine and tested ok.

    Still availible in 13.2 b7, but if I select it I just get a garbled screen.

    I know this res should work as with my nVidia 680 I was using it daily, infact with that card/drivers I could go up to 3168x1782 no probs.


    Wonder why this is ?
    Also their is a major difference in the AMD/nVidia downdampling guides, AMD untick gpu scaling, nVidia tick gpu scaling....... why is this.

    Been having another play at this and contrary to my above post its noT the drivers.

    Thing is that i'm trying to work out is that with my previous nVidia 680 (rest of my hardware same inc monitor) I could successfully add resolutions upto 3168x1782 @ 60hz.

    With my AMD card the max I can succesfully use is 2720x1530.

    Now I read some bits about having to add 2560x1440 first, then select it, and add your higher res and apply from there, (but not really understanding why) - but still no joy I cant even get 2880x1620 to work (which is way below the max of 3168x1782 I could get with nVidia)

    anyone point me to any clues or any tips ?

    Edit**
    So I see that 2720x1530 is the max for a 7970 card - over DVI st least.
    Guess that answers my question !!!!!

    Oh good! I was under the impression that when people were saying "zomg 13.3 kills downsampling" I thought they meant there was something additional on top of what was in 13.2 that killed that method of getting around it. Glad to hear that's not the case!

    Why don't you simply use CRU utility? Works fine for me, with all those betas...

    Does not work for everyone. But everyone should give it a shot... it's strange how it doesn't work for some. So it's different for everyone.
