How to force display settings

Ryan-Simpson · January 27, 2020

So I have built a small pc to play games on my TV. Now my TV will display 4k at 60hz or 1080p at 120hz but to get that 120hz the TV needs to first receive the signal before it switches to that mode. There is no way of doing it in the TV settings so Windows of course will only give me the option of up to 4k 60hz no 1080 120hz. Is there a way in window to force the display settings? I am using an amd 5700xt if that helps.

Thanks

AMD GPUs add extra steps, download this extract and launch cru, in that click on add and change refresh rate to 120hz and res to 1080p

There are advanced custom resolution settings in AMD Radeon Software. Go to Settings > Displays and select your display, agree to the EULA for custom resolutions and you are able to add a custom resolution with whatever resolution and refresh rate you want.
