This version of DisplayMagician currently is unable to change refresh rates, bits per pixel (BPC) for some users. This is being worked on under issues #45 & #46 and will be fixed in DisplayMagician v2.1.0. This version of DisplayMagician should work fine if you don't require refresh rates or changes to BPC.

IMPORTANT: You will need to create new Display Profiles, and then you will need to update your Game Shortcuts to use those new Display Profiles in order for this version of DisplayMagician to work.

This release of DisplayMagician is a new major release. It brings about three completely new, scratch-built video manipulation libraries, over 4 months in the making. These new video libraries are designed to record ALL of the display settings available within NVIDIA, AMD and Windows setups, fixing a whole slew of issues that earlier versions of DisplayMagician had.

DisplayMagician v2 has a lot of improvements:

  • It changes Display Profiles MUCH faster (in some cases under 5 seconds)
  • It works with AMD Eyefinity
  • It works with NVIDIA Mosaic video cards
  • It saves NVIDIA and Windows HDR settings
  • It stores screen refresh rates and bezel settings
  • It can apply a Windows background when it changes profiles
  • Many, many other tweaks and fixes.

This new functionality does come at a slight cost though… as the old Display Profiles will not work with DisplayMagician v2.0.1. The new Display Profiles record about 10x the amount of information as the old Display Profiles, and use a completely new format. This unfortunately also means that you have two task you’ll have to do before DisplayMagician v2.0.1 will work:

1. You will need to create new Display Profiles
2. You will need to update your Game Shortcuts to use one of the new Display Profiles

Once you do the two tasks above, DisplayMagician will work as it always has, but now it will allow you to get your Displays exactly as you want them!

Thank you for using DisplayMagician.

DisplayMagician v2 was about 4 months solid work, and that’s why it’s taken a while to get it out the door. I really do love adding features and hearing about how the software has helped you, so feel free to post messages in the RaceDepartment Forum Thread. And if you feel like DisplayMagician v2 is worth it, I’d always appreciate a donation!
