Unable to get 60HZ via HDMI at 2560x1440

[loosemonkey]

Hello,

I am running Intel HD Iris Plus Graphics on 1.4HDMI port, which is all cool. However my monitor does not want to display 60hz at monitor's native resolution, its stuck at 30hz.
Some commands I followed:

Code: Select all

cvt 2560 1440
# 2560x1440 59.96 Hz (CVT 3.69M9) hsync: 89.52 kHz; pclk: 312.25 MHz
Modeline "2560x1440_60.00"  312.25  2560 2752 3024 3488  1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

then i added the above information to the list of available resolutions by:

Code: Select all

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00"  312.25  2560 2752 3024 3488  1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

xrandr now displayed:

futher along I added the new mode by:

Code: Select all

xrandr --addmode HDMI1 2560x1440_60.00

xrandr displayed then:

   2560x1440_60.00  59.96  
HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

finally i did:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 2560x1440_60.00
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

So the screen "flickered" to blank black, then flickered back to 2560x1440 at 29.9hz. A little bit of background, both input and output hdmi terminals are of version 1.4, the monitor does 10bit color depth. So technically eats more data bandwidth. Using a display port cable from output (pc) to input (display) has no problems, it picks the correct resolution and 60hz out of the box. Unfortunately, HDMI does not do it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Have you installed the non-free firmware required by your graphics card?

Try looking in the Xorg log for a report of the desired resolution and it's properties and try that if it is different to the `crt` produced modeline.
