Hello. I recently upgraded from GTX 780Ti to 1070. To reinstall the graphics driver, I also had to update Windows (I used DDU for that). Once I did these steps, my custom resolutions disappeared. I reconfigured them and started a game, but it couldn’t detect resolutions above 1080p. You might wonder why I’m using custom resolutions for higher resolutions (I’m aware of DSR). Since my monitor supports 60Hz, I forced it to run at 75Hz. Many would say that’s fine because 75Hz isn’t supported by my screen, but I was able to use all resolutions regardless of refresh rate before updating Windows and reinstalling the driver. The unusual part is that with a 1440p resolution at 60Hz, the game works, but with 75Hz it doesn’t. Also, I can use a 75Hz 1080p setting. My thought is this might be connected to Windows, but I’m not sure. I’d appreciate your opinions, advice, or solutions. I prefer not to use CRU since I managed to work with 75Hz before. Thanks in advance and please correct any grammar mistakes.

The issue involved GPU ports. An HDMI port refused to function at higher resolutions and refresh rates. Changing the display cords resolved the problem.
