Unable to Set Full Refresh Rate in nvidia-settings

I recently finished installing arch on bare metal, and during the install process i had been using a 1080p monitor. I have now connected it to my primary display, an asus rog pg279q 1440p 165hz. Using proprietary nvidia drivers.  Neither nvidia-settings or the display manager's display settings page show the option for 165hz, however, and only go up to 100hz. I'm really not sure what to do about this issue and any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a loss.

xrandr also reports that the maximum refresh rate is 100hz, but this is not the case-- I've been using it 165hz on windows for years.

Re: Unable to Set Full Refresh Rate in nvidia-settings

Enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting and reboot
Install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/edid-decode-git and post the output of

for OUTPUT in /sys/class/drm/card*; do basename $OUTPUT; edid-decode < $OUTPUT/edid; echo "============================="; done

Also please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
