Hi, I have weird issue. Recently I’ve got a new monitor 180 hz. To check fps i’m using kde’s “show fps” desktop effect. When I move any window on the laptop screen (120hz) everything is smooth and it shows 180 fps. However, when I move window on my external screen, kde shows current fps at 60 and I can see that window is laggy. Also, sometimes both screen just freezes for a second.
I’m on wayland. When i switched to x11 and disabled laptop display, the external display worked as expected (rendering 180 fps).
I tried adding MaxFPS=180 to ~/.config/kwinrc, but it doesn’t work.
