Prove it. I got a machines here clean installed with AMD 7950, the latest 14 catalyst,. the latest CRU and the latest firmware on the TV as well the last custom INF. What date is your custom inf? What custom firmware did you put on? the second or the first modifed one?
I can sit at 120hz desktop all day long. However not a single game of any type will run at 1920x1080/120hz. Not. a. single. one. The display/desktop stays at 4k and the games are all forced to full screen at 30hz 1920x1080 scaled. Does not matter if gpu scaling is off or on. Then when you set the desktop to 1080p 120hz, every single game comes up massive or black screen.
This is all on Windows 8.1 64 bit and Windows 7 64bit.
At this point It's been weeks. Had several self proclaimed forum nerds from OCN and AVS forums help out remote screen and over the phone. I even offered money!

I got it working like a dream...
I got 120Hz @ 1920x1080p
I got 75Hz @ 2560x1440 / 2560x1400
I got 50Hz @ 3074x1728
I cannot get above 30Hz for 3840x2160 resolution tho I tried 31,32,33,34,35Hz and all terrible scaling.. but the panel does update at 35fps!
The TV is in my opinion very good, especially for the price tag...
Now if the guys in this forum are for real about the Circuits Upgrade for 3840x2160 @ 60... for a few hundred.. now that's what will make this tv excite me!
As I understand A new motherboard and TController with a display port input (All hdmi/tv tuner etc will be removed) and replace with new bits to make this screen FULLY 60HZ (Possibly 60+hz) @ 2160p

back to your issue!
Now speaking of custom resolutions, they scale pretty badly.. but games don't mind it acts as a anti aliasing i guess..
1080p scales BADLY with original Firmware, It will scale 1:2px but must use the 50In Firmware or use the custom Firmware thats floating around.. a custom firmware with added EDID's for 120hz / 240Hz.
It looks great
I found a small issue with the custom firmware's EDID 1920x1080p, It makes my GPU Memory stay at full speed and system power consumption stays higher.. (simple fix is to add the same resolution to CRU but add more timings to blanking etc)
I USED CRU 1.1.1 to create 2 additional resolutions.. as CRU should have the 120Hz 1080p & requires standard 3840x2160@30
I added the other 2 I spoke about above.. 2560x1400 (I feel scale is slightly better than 1440) and 3074x1728

Next a guide to add resolutions to BCD2
1. Run regedit with administrative privileges.
2. Navigate to your 2d Driver file path. The path can be found in CCC under information: software. It should be under hkeylocalmachine/system/controlset001/control/class/ (the last part of the path is specific to each driver version).
3. Click on it and double click the reg file titled "DALNonStandardModesBCD2"
4. Edit this file.
The syntax in the file may seem a little confusing. The first four numbers are for the horizontal resolution, the next four numbers are the vertical resolution. The next eight numbers are for color settings that I am not going to get into. The final two numbers are for refresh rate. Leave the refresh rate 00, as this will make windows search for all driver level added refresh rates.
For example, if I wanted to add 3200x1800 I would type:
32 00 18 00 00 00 00 00 00
Regedit will add another line automatically once all fields are populated.

This problem been around for ages... on my old system my fullHD tv use to play games @ 24hz It use to Pi$$ me off so I found out this on my own.
So to play crysis and other games at this resolution @ Hz
Using regedit I added to BCD2 resolutions just under my HIGH HZ resolutions..
eg:
1920x1080 (I added 1920x1076) allows fullscreen gameplay at 120Hz
2560x1400 (I added 2560x1396)
3074x1728 (I added 3074x1724)
As precaution and to give extra help in working properly.........
It might pay to change to your 1920x1080p 120Hz resolution first before jumping to the game.
In CCC I added Profiles with shortcuts eg Ctrl-Alt-Shift 1 = 1080p@30hz / Ctrl-Alt-Shift 2 = 1080p @ 120hz Makes life easy...
then in your game select the resolution 1920x1076 it should play at 120hz.. Fingers Crossed
My Crysis3 and others do
So Like I said..
Use the custom firmware spoken about here Or 1080p Looks blurry and Shite!
Make sure "Enable GPU scaling" is disabled in CCC->My Digital Flat Panels
ALSO SOMEWHAT OF A GUIDE HERE My FRIEND "salamachaa"
EDIT:
I dont know if linking to another forum is allowed.. If not.. forgive me and remove the links.. I will copy the information to here if required!
