Description Tars 2026-01-29 23:29:48 UTC

My pc:
gpu: Rx9070
cpu: ryzen 5600x
motherboard: asus b550 plus wifi II
primary monitor: 165hz
second monitor: 60hz

Steps to reproduce:
1. Move the second monitor in System Preferences so that it is on the left and its upper left corner is higher than the primary monitor

After this, Steam and Discord start running at 60Hz instead of 165Hz on the primary monitor. Games and system work perfectly.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kernel: 6.18.7-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Same thing on Gnome. There was no such problem on NVIDIA.
I think that Wayland somehow determines the hertz of applications through the upper left corner. Maybe its problem in mesa driver

Second monitor connected via hdmi, primary monitor connected via display port

It looks like the root cause of this bug is in the AMD driver. You can open a bug report about this at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues so the AMD developers can take a look. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything KDE can do.
