Cannot set refresh rate above 100hz

Hello,

I use Arch Linux with GNOME on Wayland with an Nvidia graphics card. I installed the proprietary drivers and everything is working great except the refresh rate of the monitor. When I try to change the refresh rate to 165hz in the GNOME settings, the screen gets no signal for a bit and then turns on with the prompt to either keep the settings or revert but with no change to the refresh rate. The max refresh rate working is 100hz.

I have a BenQ EX240N monitor and a 4060 graphics card.
I am using the Linux Zen kernel with Nvidia drivers version 560.35.03.

I am also dual booting with Windows where 165hz works correctly.

Here is some terminal output for info:

$ cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid | edid-decode

Have you tried gnome on X11? And then please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General (cause it looks like this might be attached to some AMD GPU)
https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected (though unless it's the cable HDMI 1.4 should still be good for 1080p@144Hz)

Re: Cannot set refresh rate above 100hz

Here are the Xorg logs.

https://pastebin.com/uVWquydG

On X11, the refresh rate does not get back if it fails and get stuck in a no signal black screen.

Also when searching the journal, I found this when you try to set the refresh rate to 165hz:

Sep 19 12:25:39 tower kernel: nvidia 0000:24:00.0: [drm] User-defined mode not supporte
d: "1920x1080": 165 380960 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1110 0x20 0x9

EDIT: The cable is HDMI 2.0 if that helps.

Re: Cannot set refresh rate above 100hz

That's only the tail of the xorg log?

[   728.924] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "HDMI-0: 1920x1080_165 @1920x1080 +0+0 {ViewPortIn=1920x1080, ViewPortOut=1920x1080+0+0}"

Why is it a user defined mode?

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Section "Device"                                                                                                                
    Identifier "RTX4060"
    Driver  "nvidia"
    Option "ModeDebug" "True"
EndSection

Also there's only the nvidia GPU, but on an oddly high bus ID - what kind of system is this, are you sure the GPU is in the PEG?

And then please post the entire X11 log and system journal for the boot: 

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Sorry for the late response.

Here are the Xorg logs with Nvidia debug mode enabled.

So there's actually no error w/ that.

Back to

When I try to change the refresh rate to 165hz in the GNOME settings, the screen gets no signal for a bit and then turns on with the prompt to either keep the settings or revert but with no change to the refresh rate.

How do you assess this?
"xrandr -q" or some monitor OSD or how it "feels" (ie. the FPS might be limited by some compositor)
As the behavior you describe is actually exactly what you'd expect.


Ceterum censeo

I am also dual booting with Windows where 165hz works correctly.

3rd3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

I don't think it'd cause this particular problem, but has to be disabled in any event.

Re: Cannot set refresh rate above 100hz

How do you assess this?

When doing it on Wayland, both the monitor OSD and the GNOME settings UI keep showing 100hz (after a short "No signal" period). On Xorg, when I change the refresh rate to something above 100hz, I get "No signal" on the monitor (even when I try to switch to another TTY using Ctrl + Alt + F3 or 4) until I get back to GDM using Ctrl + Alt + F1 and reboot.

Re: Cannot set refresh rate above 100hz

For X11, can you https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … ubsampling  and then set higher refresh rates?
