I also confirm over here with the 3060 and 3090. There is no VRR over HDMI, even though the control panel says it is enabled. My LG TV disagrees, and I’m sure it’s not working.
I think I did not mention it on my post, but I am on a 3080.
Same here - 4090 Gentoo system but also tried on Arch. HDMI VRR blacks the screen out the second I turn it on Always in KDE or use any fullscreen game (I don’t use it on Always in KDE but it’s an extremely easy way to replicate the issue). DisplayPort seems to be fine but I only have one on the G80SD and it is connected to another device.
Im also having issues using HDMI 2.1 with the 570 beta drivers.
I am unable to even launch Hyprland anymore due to “failed to allocate device list”. I can launch KDE but like others Adaptive Sync doesn’t work, and it doesn’t seem very stable. Reverting to the 565 drivers solves all my problems. Hope this is resolved soon because some distros like Cachy-os already force the use of these drivers.
Can confirm. Using 2070 SUPER with KDE Plasma and an LG C2 TV on Gentoo. Enabling VRR causes the screen to turn black every few seconds. Pressing the green button on the remote multiple times shows that VRR is always off even if it is enabled in the Game Optimizer settings. Downgrading to 550.144.03 fixed it.
Bug report tracked here 570.86.16 Linux driver breaks HDMI output when adaptive sync is enabled - #19 by tlneondo
it has been root caused and has a issue number
Yep, LG C4 (OLED) via HDMI2.1 has a issue enabling VRR with this driver. Either you get a blank screen or these black flashing but disabling VRR seems to resolve it for now.
Be nice if VRR can be nailed down with HDMI2.1
Just black screen and monitor going to standby when adaptive sync active - Latest updated Bazzite, Nvidia 4080 mobile (XMG Neo E23) with external Corsair Xeneon Flex monitor.
Tested with HDMI and DP, same behaviour.
