VRR/FreeSync does not work no matter what I try.

Ive got a new monitor that supports freesync, works just fine on w10.
Now Ive tried googling this for hours with no solution.
I got an R9 390 with an s2522hg
Xfce4
my xrandr output: xrandr --prop
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 544mm x 303mm

my amdgpu conf:
Section "Device"
        Identifier "AMD"
        Driver "amdgpu"
        Option "TearFree" "false"
        Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
        Option "DRI" "3"
        Option "VariableRefresh" "true"
EndSection

I added amdgpu.freesync_video=1 to my kernel parameters.
systool -vm amdgpu | grep free outputs nothing.
Id appreciate any help, I'm on the verge of reinstalling and seeing if that works

This *should* work. I have a VRR display myself and I use amdgpu with no issues. In my conf, I don't have the DRI option set (should be DRI 3 anyway, everyone has used that for like 10 years now) nor the "EnablePageFlip" setting (not sure what this one does). Have you tried the VRRTest utility? I've used it to test VRR on my machine and it works correctly.

@Dudemanguy yep, been trying it with vrrtest and various games. Refresh rate always stays at 240

Have you tried removing the EnablePageFlip option and restarting xorg to see if that makes a difference?

Still not working. Ill install artix with KDE on a second partition to see if that changes anything

So I made a 20gib partition with the Artix KDE iso install and after blacklisting the Radeon driver and adding the amdgpu vrr config it works on that install.
But when I install KDE on my main OS it still doesn't work.
Maybe xfce is messing something up? that's my guess for now

Are you using a compositor? Maybe it's messing it up.

compositor disabled on both KDE and Xfce. I'll try installing KDE and nuking everything xfce related on my main install, let's see how that works out
