Hello, I cant seem to find any upto date info on this topic and all the old threads seem to suggest that these features do not work well on linux.
I am looking to get a 144hz monitor that is at least 2k in resolution. I have an Nvidia graphics card and KDE Plasma. I want to run two monitors and the 2nd monitors is 60hz and 1080p. Would this cause issues? Is there anything I need to consider when looking for a monitor?
I have two monitors (2K, 144hz, DP) and a TV (4K, 60hz, HDMI) and it ran fine on Plasma. I used X11, because my 2060 was causing issues with Wayland.
How did you deal with scaling with 2 different resolutions on X? I never managed to get it working quite properly, the closest I got was running some xrandr scale commands on login.
You will most likely have to run wayland to get the most out of your new monitor (in a dual monitor setup), other than that should work just fine.
If they want VRR they’ll have to use X11 since the Nvidia driver doesn’t support gsync on wayland. This also means they’ll likely be stuck with tearing on the lower refresh rate monitor.
If they use X itll be a removed and a half to get the higher refresh monitor to work with the lower refresh properly, I would rather forgo gsync than deal with that (as I have on my setup, running hyprland with my nvidia card with two 1080 asus monitors, one running 144hz).
I’m running KDE Plasma with a 21:9 1440p display at 144hz via DisplayPort and an RTX 3080. I ran two at 144Hz before without a problem, but I never mixed refresh rates.
I have nvidia with default vanilla Gnome on a 4k monitor. Everything in X11 works fine with 200% scaling, electron app have some problem in wayland
Are you using display port or HDMI? Depending on the monitor HDMI can’t support the higher output.
