Question 240Hz monitor will only work at 165Hz when gaming ?

[shadowcat777]

OS: Kubuntu

On my dual monitor system I have 240hz on my newer monitor and 165hz on my older one. (both are 1080p screens)

But in steam games the Vsync makes it 165hz even on the monitor that is 240hz.
I tried also change from Auto in Nvidia panel to 1080p and 240hz but it goes back to "Auto"
I am not sure if the max hz is 240 anyway...
Is there a way to fix this?

Hey there,

What cables are you using? HDMI or DP.? Please list your full PC specs and monitor make and model.

I dont have this problem on Windows 10 or 11.
So nothing of that matters...
I am using DP on both monitors though.
