Windows 10: Can't select 5120 X 1440 resolution for external monitor on Win 11 desktop PC

Can't select 5120 X 1440 resolution for external monitor on Win 11 desktop PC

Windows 11 - Native resolution not correct.

Hello,

I have a Samsung 49" Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor and using the monitor driver for DP.

This monitor native resolution is 5120 x 1440 which does show correctly in the Nvidia Control panel but NOT within the Windows 11 OS. Under Settings > Display Resolution it is showing 2560 x 1440 as the recommended resolution instead of 5120 x 1440.

I can still change the resolution in Windows 11 to 5120 x 1440 but when I open applications or games then those applications will attempt to lock my resolution down to 2560 x 1440.

My Nvidia driver is: 512.15 for my Geforce RTX 3080.

Thank you for any tips or advice.

Rick

Thank you Greg for your response.

Yes I have also tried rolling back my Nvidia GeForce driver to an older version and it does the same, meaning that the GeForce Control panel will recognize that my selected display resolution of 5120 x 1440 is the native resolution however Windows 11 does not as Windows 11 believes 2560 x 1440 is the native resolution.

I just do not get it why Nvidia Control panel shows it correctly but Windows 11 thinks that the native resolution is a lower resolution of 2560 x 1440.
