Hi, I replaced my previous 60Hz monitor with a new 144Hz one today, but I can’t set a refresh rate higher than 60Hz either through Manjaro Settings Manager, Nvidia X Server Settings or xrandr.
In the first, when I pick 144Hz from the dropdown menu and click OK and close the settings window, the refresh rate gets reset to 60Hz (I think it never gets set to 144Hz in the first place); in the second, the refresh rate selection drop-down is greyed out and unexpandable; in the third, once I list available resolutions and refresh rates:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3440 x 1440, maximum 32767 x 32767
DVI-D-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 connected 3440x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800mm x 330mm
3440x1440 59.97*+ 144.00 120.00 99.98
2560x1080 143.94 119.88 59.98 59.94 50.00
1920x1080 60.00 59.94 50.00
1720x1440 59.94
1680x1050 59.95
1440x900 59.89
1280x1024 75.02 60.02
1280x720 60.00 59.94 50.00
1024x768 99.97 75.03 70.07 60.00
800x600 99.66 75.00 72.19 60.32 56.25
720x576 50.00
720x480 59.94
640x480 99.77 75.00 72.81 59.94 59.93
DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-5 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
And then run
xrandr -s 3440x1440 -r 144.00
It returns:
Rate 144.00 Hz not available for this size
I searched these forums and wider web for solutions, but the relevant threads either have no replies or no solutions. I am out of ideas myself, as I’ve never had to deal with refresh rate adjustment on Linux.
I am running 6.1.1-1 kernel through bspwm and X11
The monitor is AOC CU34G2X/BK
The GPU is GeForce GTX 1070
Any ideas? Is this maybe because of bswpm/picom? Do I need to set something in those configs?
