External monitor max 30Hz @ 2560x1600












1















I want to use an external monitor (Dell U3014t) connected through HDMI to a Ubuntu 18.04 laptop with the GeForce MX130 GPU.



When changing settings in "displays" GUI, the max resolution that works is 1920x1200. When set to 2560x1600, the monitor is black (no signal).



By adding new modes to xrandr I was able to get 2560x1600 working, but at most at 30 Hz.



I've tested with nvidia drivers 390, 396, 410 and 415 and it makes no difference.



Do you have any ideas how to get it running at 60 Hz? On Windows 10 it works fine.
