Any software for quickly changing resolution?

Update:
I managed to create two bat files that change the resolution using nircmd. The resolutions do have to be first created in the NVIDIA Control Panel for the batch file to work.

Then using AutoHotkey I was able to assign a keyboard shortcut for those files.

 

Here's nircmd: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

Here's the nircmd command: https://superuser.com/questions/1179974/how-can-i-change-screen-resolution-from-command-prompt-in-windows-10

Here's AutoHotkey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/

Here's how to set up the AutoHotkey to run desired batch files: https://superuser.com/questions/418533/run-a-cmd-comand-from-a-key-stroke

Hey!
I attempted to overclock my 4k60hz monitor and ended up with two different workign configs: 4k@72hz and 1440p@85hz
The question is: is there any program out there that would allow me to switch between these two via a keyboard shortcut or anything more comfortable than using the NVIDIA Control Panel?

Not that I know of, you might be able to do it with macros or something like that. You should also just be able to change between the to when you open up display settings by right clicking on the desktop.

I dont know much, but maybe you could use a 2 batch (.bat) files or 2 vbs script (.vbs) or something along the lines of that, and use that program that Taran from LMG uses I think it is called virtual hot key or something and use key combos (unless you have.macros) that run the files that switch to different resolution and refresh rate. I hope this inspired someone who knows how to do this stuff.

Or use virtual hot key to use key combos to run some file that switches it
