Adjust refresh rate to 120Hz on Manjaro GNOME
Adjust refresh rate to 120Hz on Manjaro GNOME
Use the xrandr command to set the refresh rate or modify the X11 configuration file.
The details provided are no longer current. This setup pertains to your Lenovo Y700 laptop featuring hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics (GTX 960m/Intel® HD Graphics 530). I’m using the video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime driver with X11 windowing. Your display specs are 1920x1080 at 60Hz, paired with a 120Hz 2560x1080 monitor. I’ve verified this exact arrangement functions in Windows on the same machine. Here are the configuration screenshots: Spoiler Output of xrandr shows screen 0 ranges from 320x200 to 4480x1080, with eDP-1 support up to 16384x16384 at 1920x1080 plus variations. The display dimensions are 344mm x 194mm at 60Hz, and the monitor is 1280x1024 at 60Hz. I also noted similar results in Windows on this device.
It appears the Intel driver is already installed. Changing to the Nvidia driver for all components could affect performance and compatibility. For more details, check the PRIME wiki page. If it doesn’t clarify, let me know!
The installation failed and I had to reinstall everything from scratch.
I understand you're not using Manjaro anymore and aren't sure about the nvidia-prime reference. Let me open the NVIDIA control panel for you. Also, note that the driver appears quite old for a 9xx GPU—consider updating it before connecting the external monitor. Before plugging in the external display, test it on your laptop screen first.
