^After this thread (solution on last page), I got my desired resolution, but a second monitor made my system freeze and I got really bad screen flickering and black outlines around windows even without a second monitor.
I removed the 390.77 drivers, and installed the 390.87 drivers just to see if it fixed it. It didn't fix it, but it did make it a bit less unbearable.
I also removed this code from the
xorg.conf
because my system seemed to be reading my monitor's edid correctly:
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "CustomEDID" "DP-1:/home/redpinko/Downloads/.edid.bin"
EndSection
Here is what the windows look like when glitching:

I've tried disabling effects, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Thanks for your help
