Black screen on high refresh rate

[jovial herald]

have you tried using a DP cable?

[thick pewter]

laptop doesnt have dp port

[jovial herald]

which monitor is it?

[thick pewter]

LG Ultragear

24Gn650

[jovial herald]

okay so cable should not affect it

[thick pewter]

ok, what next?

[jovial herald]

okay so hdmi 1.4b supports 1920x1080 at 120hz MAX

if you go beyond 120hz is it software overclock(on the monitor) or hardware ?

because I think the cable just can't handle this much data to be honest

@thick pewter what is your laptop?

[thick pewter]

i have this cable https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07VSG5SXZ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57

[thick pewter]

what?

[thick pewter]

works on windows

[jovial herald]

some monitors have an option to OC on the monitor itself, otherwise you have to do it through the system oops, that's what I meant, which one is the case here ?

[jovial herald]

yeah your laptop is supposedly has hdmi 2.1

also which nvidia driver version are you runnig?

[thick pewter]

i have no clue

i dont see an option to OC in its settings

[jovial herald]

it's not really a solution, but is the monitor running fine with 120hz? on linux

[thick pewter]

yeah

[jovial herald]

how are you OCing the monitor on linux

[thick pewter]

I'm not

[jovial herald]

well I am confused by this statement

nvm monitor is native 144hz

[thick pewter]

Yes
