Can't get resolutions higher than 2560x1080 (Solved)
-
If you installed new drivers in last days I would reinstall Falcon from scratch.
-
Thats the problem. It was a fresh install. First time installed on this PC yesterday.
-
can you try in dp, at the max frequency?
-
Thanks man! That worked. I have no idea why it just didnt work with HDMI but does work with DP connected. Does not make sense to me, but if it works, it works! Thanks again.
-
DisplayPort or HDMI? My Asus 4k monitor used DisplayPort 1.2 compression to get to 4k, but it doesn’t work with HDMI. NVM, I seee you got it.
-
If you have more than 1 hdmi port be sure you use that with the max frequency. In my old Samsung 4k I had 2 ports 30hz and 60hz.
I prefer always run in dp to run at max frequency anyway.Glad you solved
Cheers

You might need to add a “custom” resolution using the NVIDIA control panel. For some reason BMS/Falcon fails to recognize/list the resolution if it doesn’t have a refresh rate of exactly 60.0 Hz (e.g. 59.9 or similar). After that it should be available in the SETUP menu.
-
Add this line in your “Falcon BMS.cfg” file (User\Config folder) :
set g_bAllowAllRefreshRates 1

FYSA, OP fixed his issue:

Still curious as to why, though the darkman is just happy it finally works.
HDMI 1.3 (and higher) supports 1440p at 75Hz refresh… It does matter what GFX card is pushing this, and what Monitor is driving this. Not sure which LG Ultrawide model we’re talking about, there are several, but most all have a max refresh rate of 60Hz, well below the 75Hz max of HDMI 1.3. Both DP and HDMI support 1440p @ 60Hz, but if the GFX card cannot output this modified ‘ultra-wide’ 1440p signal over it’s HDMI out, you might refer to the user/technical manual for that GFX card, specifically details about it’s video output ports. I’d bet dollars to donuts that the HDMI port on that card is designed for VR output at a lowered spec than we’d normally expect from HDMI 1.3+
But I’m not a betting man, and am really just curious about the output port specs for that 2080Ti, and the model number of the Monitor. Head scratcher, but there’s definitely a technical reason that is being overlooked, one would assume. Of course, the graphics card control panel settings would need to be set to the Monitor’s native resolution and refresh rate, but after that, the video output port itself would seem to be the only limiting factor.
It says this on the 2080Ti specs page: 4k 12-bit HDR at 144Hz or 8k 12-bit HDR at 60Hz over one DisplayPort 1.4 connector (with DSC).
When it comes to HDMI, the cable itself is mostly irrelevant, there are only 4 HDMI cables (high speed with or without Ethernet, and standard speed w/ or w/o Ethernet), but iirc, a standard speed HDMI cable cannot transmit greater than 30Hz signals. I’ve personally not played with HDMI since everything essentially moved to DP for high refresh rate monitor support, so if anyone knows anything else, it might shed some light on this little mystery here even though it has already been resolved for darkman.

I have a resolution of 5760x1080. Everything was working great. I was trying to get the head tracking set up and then W10 decided to update at that moment. After the update my resolution in BMS 4.34 dropped to 1920x1080. I am going to mess with it more tomorrow and see what I can find out.
