Im still new to Ubuntu. I set up a dual boot environment with Ubuntu 22.04.3 and Windows 11. My laptop screen goes to 165Hz.
I tried to change my laptop screen refresh rate on Ubuntu by going to the display settings and trying to change them manually. There was only 1 option which was 60Hz. All my other resolutions with other different scaling settings also only had the 60Hz option.
Then I installed all my NVIDIA drivers using the sudo ubuntu-drivers install
command on the terminal. I restarted my laptop and I opened NVIDIA X Server settings.
Then I went to the terminal, wrote xrandr
to see my display name and resolution options + refresh rate. Here's what it said:
xrandr

I found it weird not having any option with a higher refresh rate than 60Hz.
I wrote on the terminal xrandr --output eDP-1 --rate 165
and I had no error but still, it didnt change anything. Also tried with several different refresh rates but also didnt change anything.
I also found it weird that on my NVIDIA X Server settings there wasnt any option to change the resolution or any settings and I had no X Server Display Configuration like other people, as you can see here.
Here's also a screenshot of my 'Software & Updates' showing that im using the supposed Nvidia 535 driver for my NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti GPU.
Im a bit lost on what to do now since I searched for other posts that could have similar problems but didnt find any solution.
Would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance for any reply!
