Discussed here too - https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/6fznb3/plasma_desktop_not_rendering_in_144fps/

I have 2 monitors, both are 1920x1080, one of them is 144Hz, one 60Hz.

In Plasma, both monitors are rendering in 60Hz.
When I launch a game like Dota 2 and move windows around on top of the game, they're rendered in 144Hz.

I worked around this by adding 

[Compositing]
MaxFPS=144.0

To kwinrc.

A system with two different refresh rates cannot be properly supported on X11. The compositor uses one window and that gets rendered to both screens. It is quite likely that the X server restricts the refresh rate to the least common denominator, which would make sense.

As there is a workaround by forcing the FPS, this looks fine to me.
