Hey Y'all. Very new to linux!
I have a Intel i9900ks with a Nvidia 3080 GPU.
I first installed KDE and I was able to get (what looked like) full resolution when installing on both monitors (it was a clone, displaying the install on both monitors) and the same on the log in screen but when I would log in it would go to 1080x1280 still with the cloned displayed. I first tried with open source drivers, then reinstalled with propitiatory drivers. Same issue. The driver would show it was using Nvidia but was unable to change anything.
Later that day, tried on GNOME. (currently on GNOME, happy to stay with GNOME) Now I have 1 monitor working perfectly but it is not picking up the second monitor. After absorbing what I could understand from both the wiki and here from people with the same issue I have discovered that it seems to be using the opensource driver, not the nvidia driver as it was in KDE. I also am locked at 60Hz
I have followed this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting
But I do not seem to have any of the config files.
I am looking to learn what I am doing wrong and how to resolve this!
I was unsure of what other information to provide so please let me know!
Thank you!
P.S I have tried both GNOME and GNOME on Xorg. Both with the same result.

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Your post is borderline incomprehensible and largely makes no sense.
Please log into an Xorg session and post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General and the output of "xrandr -q"
Also make sure to enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting and in doubt add "initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

Fair enough, my apologies. I did not understand enough about Linux and my problem to clearly articulate what the issue was.
After a fresh install it seems to be fine now.
Thank you.
