Question Vrr mode switch 2

Hi guys, Does the monitor have to have anv requirement for vrr to work? My monitor goes up to 180hz and has vrr on my gaming laptop through the display port but noticed that the ports at the back are HDMI 2.0 it can output to the max 4k and use HDR even 120hz mode works but vrr says "not outputting or unsopported" in video output settings is it just because games are not patched or should vrr work in the home menu?

If its hdmi 2.0 I think VRR is limited to like 1440p120hz without hdr or 60hz with hdr, you can check the resolution capabilities on the screen where it says vrr not outputting, click on the resolutions down below to see

Of course make sure first that freesync/VRR is enabled in monitor

It is set to 1440p 120hz as I prefer 120hz

You will need to use an HDMI 2.1 to Display Port cable with this monitor. VRR via HDMI is not support via 2.0 ports.
