Hi, I am aware this is probably a really specific and weird request, and I have found absolutely nothing online to try and help me with this. I'll give the rundown.
Currently, I have a 23.8 inch display, and a 27 inch display. I play lots of competitive fps games, and have played on strictly ~24 inch screens forever, 27 inch I find is FAR too big (Yes i've tried pushing it back, its simply not the same). I am planning on upgrading to a 27 inch 480hz OLED (the one by LG), and simply running it on a lower resolution with the "center" scaling mode in amd, to play on a 23.8 inch screen essentially.
However, I am trying to do some initial testing first with my current 27 inch panel, and it's super easy to just setup a 23.8 inch resolution and click centering in my amd panel, but because I have to select no scaling, I can't play stretched resolution in any games (which I have used for basically every fps game i've played in the last 5 years, so I would really love to use it). I've tried CRU, and i've found some very strange behaviour, I would really love some help with this.
What I want to accomplish exactly:
2560x1440p @ 27 inches, using a resolution of 2272x1278 @ ~23.8 inches of active display size, while still retaining the ability to use fullscreen scaling mode in amd, in order to have games stretch / scale to fit the 23.8 inch screen, instead of stretching to fit the 27 inch screen.
Some more quick pre-amble before I show what i've attempted; 2272x1278 is EXACTLY 16:9, and approximately 23.8 inches, however i've read that its best for the resolution to be divisible by 8? Not sure if thats relevant, and if so, in that case is the resolution 2288x1288 better for what I want? its not EXACTLY 16:9, but both the height and width are divisible by 8 and its very close to 16:9.
Using CRU, I deleted every resolution in every single detailed resolution and resolution tab. Added a resolution of 2272x1278, restarted and wanted to see what would happen. Extremely weirdly, no matter what scaling mode I set on the AMD control panel, it would fill the whole screen (all 27 inches), but when I selected another resolution in the windows display section, it would only display the exact pixels of the other selected resolution. Say i selected 1920x1080, it would NOT stretch to the full 27 inches, it would have black bars above and below, AGAIN regardless of what scaling mode I set, so that behaviour makes absolutely no fkn sense to me. Essentially, I am trying to simulate that the DEFAULT monitor resolution is 2272x1278, so using full screen scaling will attempt to fit any lower resolutions I set in games to that resolution @ 23.8 inch of displaying pixels.

Above are a screenshot of the CRU setup i did and a screenshot of my windows display settings showing the active signal resilution was indeed 2272x1278 even when picking another random resolution, however noting again, it did not scale to the 2272x1278 size no matter what scaling mode I set, and when just using the 2272x1278, it would fit my whole panels screen no matter what scaling mode I set.
Is what i'm trying to accomplish even possible? Could I get some help with CRU, or anything would be really helpful. Cheers![Smile]( "Smile")
