Low refresh rate 4k monitor.

Hi there!
I have 4k 120 Hz monitor.
I am using hyperland as my window manager on Wayland.
Nvidia GPU. HDMI port is version 2.1.
I've tried 3 different HDMI cables.
When I used Qtile on X11 it was the same.

As you can see, only 30 Hz is available for 4k resolution. What could be the problem? I have followed all the steps in the Hyperland Nvidia guide.
I also tried
monitor=,highrr,auto,1

but it only works at 1920x1080.

What could be the problem?
Thx a lot!

Re: Low refresh rate 4k monitor.

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

You'll need https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/edid-decode-git

When I used Qtile on X11 it was the same.

Adding

Option "ModeDebug" "True"

to an xorg configlet for the Device or Screen section will make the nvidia driver print why it disregards certain modes to the Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

Do you have 2.1 cable?

There's nothing such as a HDMI 2.1 cable, it has to say  (sigh…) "HDMI Ultra High Speed"

You can override this in the X11 driver, for wayland you'll probably need a sanitized EDID
That being said, as this is a hybrid graphcis system, what happens if yu disable the intel GPU in the BIOS/UEFI?

I'm sorry I don't quite understand, so the cable is the problem?
Or maybe a problem with the 2.1 jack support?
There is no option in the bios to disable integrated graphics.

And I just checked the cable that came with the monitor, it says.
'Ultra High Speed HDMI'...

Re: Low refresh rate 4k monitor.

Please don't fully quote previous posts (you're bloating the thread for no reason) and also don't bump - edit you previous post to mend it if nobody has replied yet.

Stupid question: are you running the proprietary kernel module or nvidia-open?
The error seems mostly related to unsupported DSC, but 3840 × 2160@60Hz would already be supported with 2.0 (w/o! 4:2:0) so it's kinda weird that the driver would even die on that hill.
But given the license situation w/ the HDMI forum, I'd not be surprised if the nvidia-open module is somewhat artificially restricted here.

If the cable is graded ok and the device manual says the hdmi output is 2.1 and you cannot disable the IGP, what if you try to run the server on the nvidia GPU?

I use proprietary driver.
I've tried only Nvidia GPU X11 session, it didn't help.

Re: Low refresh rate 4k monitor.

You can skipt that check on X11,

Option "ModeValidation" "NoExtendedGpuCapabilitiesCheck"

see what happens (keep the mdoe debug in place)

After endless reinstallations, I realized - the problem is with the Nvidia drivers.
If Nouveau drivers are installed everything works as it should. 60hz is available (on Windows it was also max 60, so I think the problem might be in the cable, but not in Linux).


As soon as I install proprietary Nvidia everything stops working.
I'm not sure what to do about it yet, maybe I need to try several versions of Nvidia drivers.
Or if you have any advice, I would be very grateful.

Re: Low refresh rate 4k monitor.

The 555xx drivers have shown issues w/ outputs (mostly DVI) that have not existed before, you could try the 535xx dkms package from the AUR.
But I don't actually think that's the cause, notably because of the windows situation.

Do you have any other hi resolution outputs?

Thx, I 'll try 535 version.

Nope, there is only one HDMI and 2 Type-C.

Maybe it makes sense to try Type C?

did you try video=HDMI-A-1:3840x2160@120 kernel boot parameter or 3200x2000@120

Thx for info.
I managed to run the monitor on Windows I can copy the EDID and try it out.
