# Modify EDID, so my screens work at 61Hz
Trying to fix some what high power draw of RX 7900XT(to make its memory run cooler).




## XOrg
Put below config in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/09-displays.conf`(also attached as file in /X11/09-displays.conf).
```
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "DisplayPort-0"
	Modeline "1200p_61" 196.53  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1243  -HSync +Vsync
	Option "PreferredMode" "1200p_61"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "DisplayPort-1"
	Modeline "1440p_61" 317.24  2560 2744 3024 3488  1440 1441 1444 1491  -HSync +Vsync
	Option "PreferredMode" "1440p_61"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "DisplayPort-2"
	Modeline "1200p_61" 196.53  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204 1243  -HSync +Vsync
	Option "PreferredMode" "1200p_61"
EndSection
```
Then restart X session and from system settings set new resolution.



## Wayland(Gnome/KDE)
In this case, there are 2 options. First is to pass `video` kernel parameter(but it does not work for me) and other is to modify EDID so it contains addidional resolution data.
