Unable to set refresh rate via HDMI

[Xotty]

Hi All,

Almost finished tweaking my new install. Coming from Win10.
I had screen tearing with Nvidia driver that I finally managed to solve but I could not get my monitor working 120Hz with HDMI. It worked under Windows and my monitor support 144Hz max. I know 144Hz only works with display port. Tried with Nouveau driver as well but same, only 60Hz is available. My laptop is an MSI CX62-2QD with Nvidia 940M
My Nvidia setting panel is looking a bit weird, I think a lot of things are missing from it eg. resolution setting, refresh rate setting...

I tried to add custom refresh rates with xrandr but I could only manage to set it to 75Hz

Try:

Code:

xrandr --output HDMI-1-2 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 120.00

Please show us the nVidia driver you are using.

[Xotty]

I am currently using this one:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AeSSDC0...sp=sharing

I have also tried the top one nvidia-driver-460 tested but same thing.
Or should I try install drivers from terminal instead?

[Valtam]

You haven't mentioned whether or not the code worked.

Sorry, I forgot

It did not work. It did nothing. The screen should have flickered when refresh rate changes but did not.

If I create a new mod and trying to add it I have this:

xrandr --output HDMI-1-2 --mode 1920x1080_120.00
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed

[Valtam]

Looks like you might be using the wrong driver. Not sure why you selected the 'Server' driver. Choose the 390 driver, then reboot and try my command again.

[Xotty]

I installed the 390 driver rebooted but made no difference. I input: xrandr --output HDMI-1-2 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 120.00  but it does nothing

[TheDead]

Just an idea since I don't know how to manage multiple video cards in a laptop on Linux...
could it be that the problem is related to the output using the intel graphic chipset and not the nVidia?

Is Secure Boot enabled?

Secure boot is disabled in the BIOS.
