Can't change refresh rate in synapse | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
I just got a new blade 15 advanced with a 2K 240hz display, but the only option I see in synapse is 60hz. I'm not sure if it's a razer or a windows issue. When I go into the nvidia control panel under "Manage Display mode" and switch it to nvidia gpu only, my display goes to 240hz but in synapse it now says "Unavailable for Secondary Display" and when I go to display settings in windows, it shows I have 2 displays. It says display 1 is connected to Intel(R) UHD Graphics and that display 1 isn't active, and it shows display 2 is connected to the RTX 3080. Is there anyway to have only 1 display and have it connected to the 3080? I've reinstalled the drivers multiple times and even factory reset windows and it's still an issue.
I have the same problem!!

Hello. Any news on this? I have the same issue with the Razer Blade 15 Advanced - RTX 3070 (2021), I bought last week. Also an open case id (*Omitted).
Hello,





yeah i have the same issue. and I've been talking to the support now for over a month.



no solution so far.





i saw a lot of people on reddit and youtube have the same issue. In my experience this is the worst support for a premium product so far.





I have to rely on this notebook because i work as a freelancer on this machine. until today no one from razer can tell me what exactly the issue is.





if at least someone would tell me that it is a known problem and you are working on a solution. that wouldn't be cool, but I could live with it. but I am offered absolutely no solution. and no reaction from the support.





here is the link to the reddit treat for some workarounds :

Hey GiuDa13 and semitongue! The behavior has been escalated to our Support Team and devs and they investigating the laptop's issue. By the way, I removed your case numbers for your security and forwarded the team your feedback. Please continue communicating with the team as they may ask you something that is part of their investigation. I appreciate everyone's cooperation.
Same problem here. Razer admitted to me it's a hardware fault after six weeks trying to diagnose the issue. Trouble is i've put a dbrand skin on the machine, and so the original shop I purchased it from is refusing to let me return it for a refund! Any advice would be welcome (UK Laws)

I'm surprised Razer said it's a hardware fault, since it's actually a hybrid graphics solution, allowing you to save battery life, while not gaming. I had to find it out myself 😞 but now I know that I can change it via BIOS or NVIDIA Graphics and still use 240Hz while browsing. Keep in mind that using the NVDIA GPU will drain your battery much quicker and that's where the integrated Intel UHD graphics comes handy, BUT it's only capable of 60Hz and that is something you don't expect in a € 2.600,- laptop (when I buy a 240Hz display, I expect a 240Hz display).



I still love this laptop, but I don't like the fact, that Razer Support does not know about their own products especially because the answer is on the razer support site (that's were I found out):

@semitongue I guess there won't be a solution to this, since it's a hardware thing, though I would love a software solution via Synapse, like on the 360Hz version.
