But again, it is not usable on a 24-inch monitor. But after I upgraded to El Capitan, the SwitchResX does't work anymore. The custom resolution needs to be saved, and the MacBook needs to be rebooted to use it. After rebooting, open the Display settings in System Prefs, and now under the Scaled options for the monitor in PBP mode you’ll see the new custom resolutions available:ġ920×2160 is almost too tiny to be readable for my eyes, but 1600×1800 is a comfortable resolution. I used SwithcResX to customize resolution as 25601080 when I was using Yosemite. Save from menu bar, then it prompts to reboot to become active. I also set a lower res to be more easily readable: Delete the custom resolution from the NVIDIA control panel, then add it using my Custom Resolution Utility as the first detailed resolution. To set a custom resolution of 1920 x 2160 – here I selected ‘Use simplified settings’ (which disabled a number of settings) and changed only the height/width and left all the other settings as default:īy default this set the vertical sync as 60hz and after rebooting the Display prefs didn’t pick this one up as a valid option.
#SWITCHRESX CUSTOM RESOLUTION MAC OS X#
I’m running Mac OS X 10.11 on this Mac Pro, so I also need to follow these steps to temporarily disable SIP protection first in order to save the configs for the custom resolution. The way round this is to use SwitchResX to define a custom resolution.
#SWITCHRESX CUSTOM RESOLUTION DRIVER#
That’s definitely not a normal resolution, but the Nvidia web driver in my Mac Pro with a Nvidia 750ti doesn’t offer that resolution: From this Samsung post here here it mentions the side by side resolution for 2 BPB inputs is 1920 x 2160. My 2015 MacBook Pro has no problem recognizing the unusual PBP resolution of half the width of a 4k display, but for my older 2008 Mac Pro that I use as my daily driver while I’m at my desk it stretches the resolution vertically which is not good.
Then select the new resolution setting in System Preferences>Displays. See screenshot below for the numbers to input. What I need is a valid custom setting for SwitchResX that gives me a sharp screen resolution (or any alternative solution). My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024MB.
I recently just got a 4k Samsung monitor that supports Picture in Picture (PiP) and Picture By Picture (PBP) modes from multiple input sources, which is awesome because I tinker with a bunch of stuff on different machines at the same time. Add 2880x1210 into the SwithResX custom settings and trust the Hz setting it gives you save the settings and resart. The screenshot below shows my current SwitchResX settings.
