I recently picked up a 1440p monitor with 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz refresh rates. When the computer starts it defaults to 60Hz (well, 59.95) and I must manually change it to 144. The default setting in the nvidia-settings is “Auto” and “Auto” for resolution and refresh rate.
I’m using Mint 18.1 and have a GTX 970 and GTX 460 in my system.
I’ve selected 2560x1440, 144Hz and saved it to my X configuration file but after reboot it still goes back to 2560x1440, 59.95Hz. My xorg.conf is:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-2"
Option "metamodes" "2560x1440_144 +0+0"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Is there a way to make this stick after reboot?
Thanks!
