More refresh rate options between 60 and Highest in G Helper

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Not an exact problem, but -

• I used CRU to add more refresh rates between 60 and Highest
• Options = 60, 90, 120, 144, 165, 240 Hz
• Only Auto, 60 and 240 are shown in G Helper
• Auto mode switches between 60 and 240 only
• Manually using 144Hz on my 240hz display, G Helper can read the correct refresh rate (screenshot)
  

Describe the solution you'd like

Would love to have

• Configurable buttons that have more options (90, 144 Hz)
• Configurable Auto mode that switches between selected refresh rates (I use 90Hz on battery, 144Hz on charging mostly, barely use 240Hz - don't need it)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using Windows Settings > Display > Advanced Display > Select the desired refresh rate

Takes 30-45 seconds every time I plug or unplug. G-Helper is lightning fast and very handy at doing this in comparison!

Device and Model

@detcordtech hello,

I can remotely understand why you want to use 90hz instead of 60hz (for smoothness). But I don't understand any downsides of using some 144hz instead of maximum possible ?

This build should allow you to add a custom param in %appdata%\GHelper\config.json to set minimum refresh rate

"min_rate": 90,

Thanks for the quick update! 😄

Reason for using 144Hz (lower-than-highest available) refresh rate:

• I often use Type C PD charging on the go and don't have the full charger
• Some software, popularly Discord activities, always have light games rendering at highest framerate
• 240Hz ends up draining battery on PD instead of charging
• 120Hz or 144Hz seems to be a better fit, laptop charges at 8-10w instead of discharging when I'm doing normal stuff

This is why I'm often using 144Hz instead of 240Hz as the upper framerate, Type C PD charging is what I use more.

@CaptainXLAB ok, even tho I still find it weird (as i doubt there is big power consumption difference between 144hz and 240hz), I have added an option to override maximum refresh rate as well.

You will still have 2 buttons in the app, but you can set your own refresh rates for them now:

"min_rate": 90,
"max_rate": 144,
