Open Intel graphics command center click on gear - settings then on top window select global settings and you have all stuff there ...

I have IIISi Creator Z16 Hiroshi Fujiwara Limited Edition laptop with intel i7 11th gen 11800H and RTX 3060 And 165hz refresh rate mini LED screen with Full HDR support 1000 nits screen is amazing !

Also check in video settings scroll down and see if you have set 10 bit color depth and color formal RGB .. I think default is only 8 bit .. with HDR off . With HDR on it will auto switch to 10 bit but I have 10 bit even with HDR off.

Only one flaw these laptops has is that cannot enable G-sync on RTX 3060 and I can't achieve 4k@120Hz on mine samsung 4k@120 TV which is really shame

In intel command center, when I click on + next to resolution, it won't give me all full options to set custom resolution which is strange ...
This laptop has thunderbolt 4 type-c combined with display port 1.4 or maybe 2.0 which fully support 4k@120 but can't do it ...
Shame that Nvidia control panel doesn't have full options to set everything same like in desktops ...

Please see pictures

There's literally no mention of"Dynamic Refresh Rate" in your photos. Also my laptop does 4k120Hz just fine, with G-Sync compatible enabled.

Now I have hooked it up on mine Samsung TV Q85T 4k@120 .
And from laptop I can only push native 4k@60 only but can't override to 4k@120. If I would have that old intel control center where I could set even refresh rate and monitor timing standard, I would have 4k@120
And as you guessing I am not able to push custom resolution because amazing intel scrapped traditional graphics control panel from right click .. Only my option was to download microsoft store app intel graphics command center . And that poor center surprised me and when I tried to do custom resolution, it only showing width and height and can't do anything.
So I was trying to workarounds in registry adding some strings as on youtube some managed to do it, but no luck for me...
Intel shamefully removed old control panel where I could be able to do full custom resolution.
So lastly I found this software ...
I want to know if this software is supported for Intel 11th gen laptops ? (2021)

Yes, but why do you need a custom resolution to use 120 Hz? Doesn't the TV already define it? The 11800H only has HDMI 2.0b, so 3840x2160 @ 120 Hz can only work with YCbCr 4:2:0.

For some absolutely bizarre reason I worked out this was happening when the Steam client was starting. I then worked out that if I reset CRU, the issue would go away! I was using CRU only to remove 4096 modes (due to Nvidia assuming the highest mode is the native and scaling not working).

I can't for the life of me work out what the Steam client is doing with video when it starts that could cause this problem and why my CRU edits seem to cause this issue. Any ideas?

I haven't heard of Steam changing resolutions when starting, and Windows won't even list 720x480i @ 60 Hz, so something strange is going on. With CRU changes active and without Steam loaded, does the same problem happen if you scan for hardware changes in Device Manager?

The laptop panel and interface has to support that. There's nothing in the EDID that controls that.

No, it doesn't, it's very odd.

Disable steam on boot
Add CRU changes
Reboot
Scan for changes (nothing)
Open steam (480i)

So u so blind and u need googles or glasses with thick lenses
see last feature first picture called smart Vsync
u don't have to tell me what laptop u have or show of u have some 4k laptop which is pointless on laptops .. ?‍♂️?‍♂️ Sweet spot is 2k@165Hz
All laptops has all syncs enabled since 11th gen laptops ?‍♂️Some has from Nvidia cards, some has from Radeon cards and I have from Intel UHD card which is linked to my secondary gpu rtx 3060
Thanks

What about this? https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgamingtechsup...pen_steam/

That shouldn't have changed automatically though.

Smart VSync has nothing to do with Dynamic Refresh Rate.

Hi well not really
I am using thunderbolt 4 from my laptop which is DisplayPort 1.4 combined
So DP supports 4k@120 with override .. Native is 4k@60
I have realized that I have poor cable , which supports only 4k@60 (first pic )
And I have purchased now 8k@60 4k@120 cable
So it should work .. Many ppl in answers confirmed it will work

The guy which is asking has good point !
Now new laptops has power management (from 11gen)
I just tried it
So there is no dynamic refresh rate reducing same like on smartphones
BUT I found out depending on settings in intel c panel .
When I unplug charger it automatically switches to 60Hz when I plug charger back it switches to 165Hz

Thanks
