Why is the 'Create Custom Resolution' greyed out in Surround? Has it always been this way? I'm not even trying to do anything fancy, just want a 75Hz refresh rate.

I have 3 x BenQ XL2720Z monitors that do 1920 x 1080. Surround is running them at 5760 x 1080 but my only refresh rate choices are 60Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz.

I need 75Hz so I can enable the Motion Blur Reduction feature and then max out Battlefield 4 settings :rockout:

Hum, in my AMD Cards i use Toasty's Custom Resolution Utility to create a 1920x1080 75hz Profile and when I switch to Eyefinity I get a 75Hz 5760x1080 Resolution!

Not sure why I didn't try that before :doh: It works! Thanks

Uncheck "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" in Windows' advanced display properties.

Why do you need 75Hz to enable Motion Blur Reduction ?

I actually have this drama too - I don't know why I can't change it either. Must have something to do with it currently being in surround? How did you get it to work Git? Also what's all this motion blur business? We have a similar setup, cpu and gpu wise - what are you able to crank bf4 up to? I can't believe how good the game looks with just a little bump in the render!

If I lower the refresh down to 75Hz, I can crank the settings up to Ultra in BF4 in Surround and keep my 75 fps minimum with V-Sync enabled :cheers: Like buttah baby! Motion Blur Reduction is the only thing that makes playing at 75Hz bearable to me.

Here's a link to BenQ's ad on it: http://youtu.be/pQYwe2PVZYQ

To get the 75Hz I had to activate all displays and setup a custom resolution for each monitor. Then when I enabled Surround it would have 75Hz as an option.

Oh I thought you were going to up the render resolution in BF4 - I already run the game on max settings, but bump up the render and wow the game looks amazing
