Cant change refresh rate on my laptop screen

al flag

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!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
