Cant set refresh rate to 120hz manjaro gnome

[starry]

Option to set refresh rate is missing for my 120hz display connected over hdmi. This works in windows on the same computer, and ive personally verified that my cable works with 120hz. any ideas?

Enforce refresh rate with xrandr command

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-configure-your-monitors-with-xrandr-in-linux

 

or edit X11 configuration file.

the command goes through and it changed some stuff but its very obvious to me just by moving my mouse that its still running at 60hz. Monitor also says its at 60hz in the OSD

restarting the session doesnt fix it either

Sorry, the specs in my description is outdated. This is for my lenovo y700 laptop that has hybrid intel/nvidia graphics (GTX 960m/Intel® HD Graphics 530. Using the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime driver with x11 windowing system. The laptop's display is 1920x1080 60hz and i am running it in extended mode with my 120hz 2560x1080 monitor. I have confirmed that this same exact configuration works in windows on the same machine.

Here are screenshots of my display configuration:

Interestingly xrandr doesnt think 120hz is supported even though i know for an absolute fact the hardware supports it, as ive confirmed this configuration working in windows.

You seem to have the Intel-driver loaded (i.e. the one providing the output), what happens if you switch to the Nvidia-driver for everything?

 

Anyhow, I would recommend you to have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME . Holler if that wiki-page doesn't help you!

Ok, now I get it

I don't use Manjaro since ages, and I am not entirely sure about what they mean by nvidia-prime, can you open the NVIDIA control panel?
Do you see this?


 

Also, that driver looks VERY outdated for a 9xx GPU.

Anyway, before connecting the external monitor, try that on the laptop monitor first

I do not have a tab called "PRIME Profiles" unfortunately.

This is what I have:

I noticed that your nvdia settings panel looks different from mine, with a graphic of a video chip rather than the penguin. Could it be that I am using the wrong edition of the linux video driver?

You are loading into xorg and not gnome on wayland right?

Ok so probably you have a partial installed driver, I don't remember in Manjaro exactly what you have to do, just avoid bumblebee and try nvidia-prime

Show us the driver manager what you have installed

Hi I know its like 6 months later but i havent resolved my issue, I finally figured out how to switch to nvidia driver but i still cant select 120hz
