Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) is a handy tool for users who want to create and add new resolutions to their AMD/ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards on Windows Vista and newer systems, provided their monitors support those resolutions. It allows for precise manual configuration of detailed resolutions, including parameters such as active resolution, sync width, refresh rate, and polarity, with support for up to six custom entries. The application is simple to use, with no installation required—just double-click the executable to access the interface, which displays existing resolutions and options to create or import custom ones. Users can also import EDID files to override existing monitor settings or define standard resolutions, making it especially useful for older or unsupported monitors that need higher resolutions.
While CRU offers extensive customization capabilities, users should have a basic understanding of their GPU and monitor specifications to avoid issues. For example, NVIDIA GPUs support a limited number of standard resolutions and refresh rates, which can impact compatibility. The tool also provides predefined settings for common monitor types, such as LCDs and CRTs, and offers a reset utility to revert to default configurations if needed. Overall, CRU is a powerful utility for advanced users seeking to optimize or extend their display options beyond default configurations, but it requires careful handling to ensure system stability and compatibility.
