Refresh rate issues

Hello i run into an issue with refresh rate so my monitor supports 165hz but on my archlinux it does not work, when i turn on 165hz through "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 165" my screen just turn black and then it says on my monitor like signal not detected. But when i turn on 120hz "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 120" it does work perfectly. I have tried many options to solve it but it does not help i have newest nvidia driver "lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3060 Ti] (rev a1)
    Subsystem: PC Partner Limited / Sapphire Technology Device a632
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia"    So i don't now what's the problem. Help please.

Cable.
You need a "Premium high speed" (sigh) or "Ultra high speed" (SIGH!) cable (and no, there's no HDMI2 cable or anything like that, the marketing BS is the official grading)
