idk how to disable it, i mean im not sure its even enabled

i've add kernel options amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 amdgpu.freesync_video=0
and set vrr = 0 in misc hyprland conf but it didnt change anything

after i set vrr = 1 i could see Freesync Premium Pro in monitor setting was active and hz was jumping from 40 to 120 (not higher) then i disabled it again as it was

btw i did try GNOME with xorg and kde x11 both had 120hz at max

If you set the Input Signal Plus to OFF, the FreeSync Premium pro mode is disabled
