@AbnerMtz hello, what is the practical purpose of that ? I don't think there is any real battery saving benefit from setting super low refresh rates via CRU. And it's actually not that easy to detect :) And in 99.9% of the cases minimum refresh rate would be 60Hz. |

First I would like to thank the devs behind this. You are awesome guys, and single-handedly made a better control interface for our laptops than Asus themselves ❤️
That being said, and diving onto the topic:
I used CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) to lower the refresh rate of my laptop below 60hz (I set it to 48hz, and I disabled the 60hz one) because I want to save even more battery when unplugged. I would like G-helper to detect that this is the lowest refresh rate. I tried to compile my own version of G-helper, but I couldn't make the code work.
As far as I could tell, G-helper detects the max refresh rate automatically. But for the lowest one, it doesn't, it just assumes it's 60 (ScreenControl and ScreenNative). Currently when I unplug my laptop it stays in the highest refresh rate even when set to automatic. So I must change it manually on the Windows settings.
G-helper automatically detecting the lowest refresh rate would be great and more than enough for me. But ideally, I would like G-helper refresh rates to be more flexible, to detect all the in-between refresh rates.
