Putting custom resolutions can make the pc slower and break my pc??

[Blueface]

Thats what Intel uhd control panel says,is It real?

For now i only put 960*540 60hz as custom resolution,idk how that ll make my pc slower

[_I_]

it may disable the display, if its not changed back

a higher res takes more resources to run, gpu/vram ect..
lowering should not hurt unless the display dose not support it

The intel UHD is letting you know what works and what doesnt for a reason.
Native resolution refers to the maximum number of pixels that your monitor can display.
Pushing your gpu to use resolutions your monitor doesn't support will cause games to run really bad desktop video etc.

Many of today's monitors have very high resolutions.
For computer gamers these resolutions can be very demanding.
For instance, if you have recently purchased a 4k display, but have an older video card, you may need to scale your monitor's resolution down to get decent frame rates.

If you decide to do so, it is recommend that you choose a resolution that has the same aspect ratio as your monitor's native resolution. Otherwise, you'll get black bars on the top and bottom or the left and right sides of the screen.

Do some research.

Yeah but those custom resolutions i only use them for the games

When im not in the games ,i just use the laptop on 1920*1080

Don't use any custom res on Intel gpus, it's just not suitable for doing that very well. It's foolish to go below 720p anyways, like what the heck for???

Use amd or nvidia gpu for custom res'

Oh the laptop does 1920x1080 then just use what is available in game, such as 1280x720 for example

No it isnt foolish,playing on high resolutions is stupid

and well as laptops has Intel hd + Nvidia i dont have that option on the Nvidia control panel,on Nvidia control panel there is only graphical options

Laptops were designed with only a few res in mind, and most are 60hz only unless you connect an external display. If you want better options, build a desktop. Otherwise use a res option that actually keeps the aspect ratio intact.

Since this is a laptop, I'd start by wiping all the drivers using ddu app. Wipe the chipset, gpus, audio... and then download and install all of the very latest drivers for all of those.

So if i play 4:3 bye bye laptop then?

It's just not really an option on most laptops when it has a 720, 768, 1080p screen. Some games may offer that, not all will, source games should though. But using a 4:3 res on that will mean abnormal looking in game display and it might be forced to be stretched.

Well It wasnt stretch but i made It stretch with Intel hd becuase the option also didnt appeared on Nvidia control panel

Yeah,my laptop is 1080p screen

It's usually not an option on laptops. Most are locked to either maintain aspect ratio, or to simply stretch. But yes on mobile, those options when available, are via the intel hd software because this is the main gpu at all times. Even when gaming via the Nvidia gpu, it must use the Intel gpu as the l frame buffer and then use to actually display the image to screen.

On desktops you can use the Intel or nvidia independent of each other and as such, Nvidia desktop gpus have such options like custom res/refresh, as well as other much better options.
