Can't change to custom resolution with xrandr and NVIDIA proprietary drivers

Hello there! I have my laptop with Manjaro 26.0.4 and hybrid graphics.

I’m using xrandr and X11 (not Wayland) to create custom screen resolution to switch from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. On intel integrated gpu or hybrid mode I get the message “Configure crtc 0 failed”. If I use NVIDIA GPU mode and do the same, I will get the message “Configure crtc 0 failed” and X error:

On Intel Integrated GPU mode or Hybrid mode if I change from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 via GUI display settings, nothing changes, but doing the same on NVIDIA GPU mode gives me a black screen and a cursor. Also if I enable NVIDIA GPU mode via envycontrol to get “X Screen Display Configuration” on NVIDIA X Server Settings (it doesn’t work on Intel Integrated GPU or Hybrid Mode), I can’t create a custom resolution. Here is the screenshot:

I would be interested to know if it is possible to set custom screen resolution 3840x2160 on a display 1920x1080 with proprietary NVIDIA drivers (screenshot hardware configuration below)? Any help will be appreciated.

Mod edit: Tidied up formatting (removing all those zsh-generated junk characters) and also removed the unneeded screenshots. :wink:

Welcome to the forum.

Please post the result of inxi -zv8 so we get more info about your system.

When posting the info, either put three backticks ( ` -sign) on an empty line before and after it, or paint over the text and then press “preformatted text” </> from the post toolbar. With long entries, you might also want to use “hide details” on it from behind the + -button on the toolbar to make the post more manageable.

Is this :down_arrow: your laptop?

It has a 1920x1080 screen so why would you try to set it to 3840x2160? You can’t exceed the native resolution.

You cannot display more pixels than you have - this is a weird idea.

Yes, it is MSI GF75. Thanks for the answers, it was interesting to find out. I have an older laptop with AMD drivers, and I can use xrandr to set custom resolution 1920x1080 on a display 1366x768 using the commands listed above in the question (envycontrol was not used in this case). I remember exactly that it works with open-source drivers.

Were you actually using something like newrez? I can’t find it now, but I was using it on my netbook when I was running it with Mint.

It utilized the VGA circuitry and used interpolation to display whatever crazy source resolution you wanted on that 1024x600 screen, worked quite well but had a downside: it tied up the VGA output so couldn’t use a second monitor.

Sometimes a resolution isn’t detected properly, in that case you can add it in. However you can’t add arbitrary resolutions, only ones supported by the hardware.
