Hello!

Tried both ports from my laptop Medion erazer beast 25X that has a 3070 gpu.

Usb-c to hdmi and the other which is hdmi to hdmi. I do have a Variable refresh rate monitor (external monitor "Asus VA259HGA") VRR is enabled on the monitor but neither in windows or Nvidia control panel is there any way to enable it. I have seen others without similar issues, is there any fix for this issue?
Thank you for your time /Frank

    Hi Frank Logrim, thanks for the details. First, confirm your monitor supports VRR over the connection type you’re using many models only support VRR via DisplayPort, not HDMI, so try a DisplayPort cable if possible. Second, in Windows go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics > Default settings and make sure Variable Refresh Rate is enabled. Third, in NVIDIA Control Panel, check Set up G-SYNC and enable it for your monitor; if it’s not listed as G-SYNC compatible, enable settings for the selected display model. Fourth, update your GPU drivers or use DDU to reinstall them cleanly. Fifth, check your monitor’s on-screen settings to ensure VRR or Adaptive Sync is turned on. Sixth, note that HDMI VRR requires HDMI 2.1 and a compatible cable; if your monitor only supports VRR via DisplayPort, HDMI won’t work. If none of these steps help, it may be a limitation of the monitor or a bug in the current Windows build, so check for updates or try rolling back to a previous driver.

    If this helps, please mark the answer as accepted so others can find it too.
