Issue:
Whatever refresh rate you set in control panel, it will look like 60hz (Lagging, shadowing, etc.)
Even xrandr shows that 2560x1600@165hz is active option, but it doesn't look like 165hz whatever.
Steps to reproduce:
Boot any distro with Live CD (or fresh install), then set refresh rate in corresponding settings
Since it happens on every distro I've used, I'm suspecting that it's an OEM problem, not a distro problem.
In this laptop ASUS has introduced a refresh rate auto-switch via ArmouryCrate, so maybe it's something with RefreshRateService? (In other words, you need a specific ACPI call to activate real 165hz on this panel)
I'll post it here for further discussion.
Here are some info:
