Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) is an excellent choice for computers equipped with ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards as you can take advantage of the higher resolution. No installation is required for this tool to work.

This app will add new monitor resolutions instead of scaled ones, which means you can set a new resolution which is nice if you want to have a better resolution.

It will not upscale existing resolutions, which can help you create new resolutions without sacrificing the quality often achieved with upscaling.

Change resolution Nvidia or AMD

It doesn’t matter if you have an Nvidia or AMD graphics card. You will be able to use this app well.

You should note that the application most likely won’t work on laptops because it doesn’t allow you to override EDID, which means it won’t work with most laptop graphics cards.

The application does not require installation at all. You can plug it in and start using. In the main window that will open when you open the .exe file, you will find a list of all existing resolutions that are currently supported by your GPU.

From there you will be able to create new and custom permissions.

Create custom permissions

The main feature of this application is the ability to provide you with support to create new permissions from scratch. You can change detailed resolutions to change the active horizontal or vertical resolution for new results.

You can also change some other details such as sync polarity, sync width, blanking options and many other detailed instructions.

It’s fair to say that this app will work best for users who already have a decent level of knowledge about permissions.

The lower scaled resolution will be automatically added to the app, although you can also create one yourself. You can define settings that will benefit your monitor, e.g. You can install it for a standard LCD monitor.

Conclusion

The Custom Resolution Utility will help you enjoy higher or custom resolutions with just about any graphics card you might have.
