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?
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).
