Hi everyone!
Anyone can help me to find out can help me here with setting up refresh rate for my monitor on Manjaro. Basically i wanna set 74Hz for my monitor. But since i am using an NVIDIA GPU i can’t use xrandr . So i have to set /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf . But i just don’t know how. So that’s my conf for both, anyone can see if i need to modify something?
