Four things to note.
One is that AMD does not recognize 1650x1050 as a supported native resolution, and the closest one, 1600x900, only has one supported VSR mode, 1920x1080.
Two is that the monitor you stated you have, Acer X223W, does not have HDMI capabilities, only VGA and DVI, so I assume you are using a HDMI to DVI adapter. It's also 9 years old, and the CCFL tubes have degraded very badly, only having a lifespan of 20,000-30,000 hours, and you are well over 20,000 hours if you have used it more than 6 hours per day.
Three is the fact that AMD states this as a known issue in the release notes
And four is the fact that the forum rules disallow the creation of multiple threads for the same topic
So with all your talk about graphics cards and spending so much money instead of spending less than $100 to replace your 9 year old monitor with a 1920x1080 LED display, I really believe you are just ranting, and this thread should be locked. amdmatt do you agree?
Yes it is a DVI and not HDMI connector. That was a simple mistake on my part. As far as degradation, its not. Its as good as the day i bought it. And that has nothing to do with the problem i have anyways as i had these resolutions as long as i had this monitor.
The issue is the drivers and at some point they broke the VSR resolutions showing up. I can't see them at all past the particular driver version i listed. As soon as i uninstall the driver and reinstall the previous versions, its fixed.
Thirdly:
This is not the problem i am having. VSR settings aren't just NOT RETAINING. They are simply not showing up at all. You dont seem to understand the problem i am having. Please reread my post i linked.
As far as not repeating posts, ill definitely bump the posts, but if thats not working, i have no choice but to create a new post. Especially since you clearly didn't read my post above which has more to do with tech support not even answering me in the first place.
However, yesterday i did re submit an OSR and it was answered, so i am in contact w/ someone. Ill continue to update what i found.
Lastly, you dont get to troll my post and tell me what i am and/or am not ranting about. What money i have to spend on anything isn't your or anyone elses concern. Its clear you are either too young or just too ignorant to understand the money problems people have. That is not my problem. I dont have 100 dollars to spend on anything i dont need. That's how i save money. IM not as rich as everyone else is, and its none of your business what i can spend my money on.
Please do not further respond as you seem to have A. NO IDEA what you're talking about, and B. No interest in helping me.

Excuse me but when did AMD simply stop supporting native resolutions? Can anyone give me the patch that says this? How old is this graphic? Did they post it this year? You're trying to tell me that since 18.2.1 AMD just said, "sorry but if you have a monitor that works fine, were going to MAKE YOU buy a new one"? REally? I have to buy a new monitor when the one i have works perfectly fine? And too boot using a driver version i can set my own custom resolutions beyond these cherry picked modes that clearly AMD did on purpose to drive peoples buying habits. Nvidia allows for a simple decimal scaling factor and i can set my DSR to anything i want up to a max. I control it. Not them. That's how its supposed to be. However it is not my concern if they did change it. IF they did they've lost a customer for life. What my concern is over is the fact that i just OVERNIGHT lost the resolutions being offered through VSR. Just overnight.
