In fedora my screen refresh rate is 144 hertz but its too laggy. When i select 60hz refresh rate it works properly.(By the way in Windows 11 it works properly.) Is this problem caused by my bios settings or something like that?

Hi @Screenname564,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The laggy behavior at 144Hz refresh rate on Fedora while working fine on Windows 11 is likely due to a combination of factors involving graphics drivers, power management settings, and possibly some system configurations. It's less likely to be caused by BIOS settings. Here's a detailed guide to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Update Graphics Drivers

The most common cause for such issues is graphics drivers. Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your GPU.

For NVIDIA GPUs:

Add the RPM Fusion repositories:

Install the NVIDIA drivers:

Reboot your system.

For AMD GPUs:

Update the system to ensure you have the latest kernel and drivers

Reboot your system.

2. Check Display Configuration

Ensure your display settings are correctly configured.

Open Display Settings:

• Go to Settings > Displays.

Set Refresh Rate:

• Select your monitor and set the refresh rate to 144Hz.
• Ensure the resolution is set correctly as well.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Thanks for your reply. I actually dualboot windows 11 and fedora. I tried change the distro but nothing changed then i tried proprietary drivers for my Nvidia GPU. But that didn't work either.One day  I downloaded Valorant and it needs Secure Boot enabled in bios settings to play the game. Then  a setting named Graphics Switch caught my attention in bios. It was in hybrid mode. Than i changed it to discrete mode. This settings allows to the system that just uses discrete GPU in my case it was a Nvidia GPU. And problem solved. I think the problem was intel integrated graphics drivers or linux drivers doesn't support hybrid mode well.
