| Hey folks, I am having some monitor troubles. I just got a LG 32GS95UE, and I can't seem to get it to render faster than 95Hz. I don't really game much, but I figured this would be the place to ask! So far what I have tried is simply running | 19:46:56 | |
| I was previously running without trouble at 144Hz on a LG 34GK950F-B | 19:59:33 | |
| Connection is via DisplayPort | 19:59:56 | |
| It's very likely a cable issue | 20:02:18 | |
| This was my initial thought, but as far as I recall I have a decent cable | 20:02:41 | |
| Let me check the specs, it's long but within the DisplayPort standard | 20:03:02 | |
| https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16812399301 | 20:04:05 | |
| It's one of these - I have an adjustable desk and keep my machine on the floor | 20:04:29 | |
| Hence the length | 20:04:37 | |
| I would try a shorter cable before anything else tbh | 20:04:41 | |
| Let me grab the one from the box and report back | 20:05:00 | |
| No dice, DisplayPort cable included with the monitor is also capped at 95Hz | 20:10:48 | |
| Also, if that cable can truly do what is specified then the 8k@60Hz is an equivalent amount of data to 4k@240Hz | 20:13:01 | |
| Shouldn't be a problem | 20:13:09 | |
Also are you using the AMDGPU DDX or modesetting | 20:19:02 | |
| From inxi:
| 20:21:40 | |
| uhhhhh | 20:21:54 | |
| amdgpu? | 20:22:01 | |
| I think? | 20:22:04 | |
Do you have services.xserver.videoDrivers set to anything? | 20:22:29 | |
| Yeah:
| 20:23:02 | |
| Delete this | 20:23:13 | |
| Just entirely | 20:23:17 | |
| Then rebuild and reboot | 20:23:21 | |
| I am running bspwm with a userspace config | 20:23:49 | |
| Deleting this and rebuilding will remove my desktop environment? | 20:24:06 | |
No, delete videoDrivers | 20:24:13 | |
| Keep everything else | 20:24:15 | |
