2nd monitor "out of range" at 1080p, + x11 refresh capped 60hz

Hello.

Today, I used pacman -Syu to do a system upgrade, and this upgraded my nvidia-dkms driver to 555 from 550. After the upgrade, my second monitor says "Out of Range", but this is somehow fixed by changing second monitor to a lower resolution in kde settings. Additionally, on x11, the 1st monitor is capped at 60hz for some reason, despite me changing it to 144hz in kde plasma system settings.

Both monitors are LG Ultragear 24gn60r-b, but Monitor 1 is Displayport and Monitor 2 is HDMI. I'm using linux-zen with nvidia-dkms, with KDE Plasma DE.

I have tried setting the configuration to 1920x1080 manually using xrandr and nothing changes.

Here is my xrandr command output:

Re: 2nd monitor "out of range" at 1080p, + x11 refresh capped 60hz

ok, even if no one finds a solution to this, here's one thing that didn't work for me.

I tried adding some parameters to a .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ .
The options are:
options NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1
So, heres what my current file looks like:

 endernon@enderrooms > /etc/modprobe.d > cat nvidiadrm.conf
# enables novideo drm for wayland
options nvidia_drm modeset=1

# enables some fix i found on nvidia feedback page, by shelter on May 21st
# https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/555-release-feedback-discussion/293652/8
# RTX 4070 - kernel 6.9.0 - 2 monitors
# I have to set NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 otherwise KDE 6 is unusable.
# I also noticed that logging into KDE (X11 session) seems to take longer now than with the previous drivers.
# UPDATE: 
# Something is still very wonky, everything seems delayed, like changing desktop display settings takes longer than usual. And if the KDE screen lock kicks in, it takes some time for it to show the Password dialog.
# UPDATE 2: 
# wayland seems to work better than X11, I also see an improvement there with explicit sync patches.
# UPDATE 3:
# The x11 issues seems to be a KDE hiccup, it decided to corrupt some config files. It works better now.
options NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

Re: 2nd monitor "out of range" at 1080p, + x11 refresh capped 60hz

Here's a few more things I tried that did not work today.

I tried setting the configuration of the 2nd monitor (HDMI, it says out of range) manually using xrandr - nothing happened.
Next, I found out that changing the resolution of that monitor to 720p in the KDE Plasma settings fixes it. And even though my monitors are 1080p, there's a 1440p option for some reason. Enabling it makes the monitor display correctly, but the display seems extremely blurry.

I am also facing the same issue. I also have a LG Ultragear monitor with a HDMI cable. However I only have one single monitor. I have tried both X and Hyprland and both have this same issue. I have also tried linux and linux-lts kernels and nvidia, nvidia-dkms and nvidia-open drivers. All of these combinations face the same issue.

+1 here. My second monitor doesn't work whatsoever. Tried to install older nvidia drivers, didn't work either. Switched to nouveau for now, gotta wait until nvidia release a new driver

@swiftyfifty does it happen with hdmi or dp? I think this issue might be hdmi only.
@endernon can you also check if single monitor with hdmi works?

My second monitor is connected through DVI-D, my main is HDMI though, but only the DVI-D one does the "out of range" thing
