[SOLVED] GNOME Wayland - No support for more than 60Hz refresh rates

I'm running GNOME Shell 3.26.2 on Wayland.
When I switch from 60Hz to 144Hz, in the display settings, nothing's changed. On Xorg there's a notable change.

I'm not sure whether it has something to do with the GPU or it's drivers (since it works with Xorg), so I'll just say that I use proprietary drivers.

If there's any other information I could give please let me know.

Re: [SOLVED] GNOME Wayland - No support for more than 60Hz refresh rates

This is a problem with GNOME (on Wayland), as you can see in this bug report.

It's currently not possible to affect the refresh rate of the actual drawing. This is not by design; it's simply not implemented. Making it work involves [..] so that it can schedule frames given the actual refresh rate of the monitor. Currently, it'll just fall back on 60 Hz, which of course is not good.

Another related issue is that if one monitor is 144 Hz, while another is 60 Hz, we'd still end up drawing at 60 Hz, as mutter still doesn't support drawing separate monitor as individual frames.

So I guess we're gonna have to spend some more time with Xorg... Thanks.

You may close. (Should I mark this somehow?)

Yes, edit the title in your first post and prepend [SOLVED] or similar.
