No high refresh rate for Razer Balde 15 with Fedora 37 and Optimus

It’s not possible to access more than 60hz with Optimus, latest 525 Nvidia drivers and Fedora 37 on my new machine with the 3070 Ti model.

If I set Nvidia as primary GPU nothing changes.
If I go from Wayland to X, then three replicated 59,9hz options appear besides the 60hz (?).
If I disable Optimus from EFI, then 240hz option appears but battery drains out in slightly more than an hour.

What can be done to access at least 140hz?

With Optimus, the intel igpu is driving the internal screen, meaning it’s an intel issue, the nvidia driver doesn’t have any influence on it.
Please run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post.

Here it is, I run it with optimus enabled and under Wayland:
nvidia-bug-report.log (555.8 KB)

When executed with optimus disabled the output is larger.

Please create it with Xorg running, Wayland doesn’t provide any useful output.

Here it is

So can it be confirmed that it’s an Intel issue? And no workaround for that? A bit sad that for such a machine you can’t use a good refresh rate. Thanks

It’s definitely an intel issue. It reminds me of a known intel bug which should have been fixed recently but I don’t know whether the fix is already committed and it works correctly. Takes some further analysing and research I didn’t find the time for.
Please install drm_info (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/emersion/drm_info)
and post the output of
drm_info |grep 2560

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/125

Here we have the output:

Contrary to the issue in the link, when I run xrandr --rate <anything higher than 60> it says Rate 140.00 Hz not available for this size

I see many having this problem, If this doesn’t have anything to do with nvidia then a direction where to investigate is also appreciated.

So it’s obvious the i915 driver now completely ignores the DisplayID 2.0 block of the EDID, it only detects the 60Hz base mode of EDID 1.4

So you should open a new bug report with the i915 driver
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues
with info from this post and maybe additional debug methods from
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/6223

Might be interesting whether this is a new bug or a side effect by the first mentioned bug being “fixed”. You could check by booting an older kernel (e.g. 5.15 using a usb boot system) and there checking the drm_info output.
