Thanks Daniel for your recent comments. They are very helpful. As someone who upgraded to Cosmic specifically to fix this bug. I found it still wasn't working and simple was not sure the reason (as have other factors at play on my system, including Budgie Desktop, multiple monitors, and nvidia card with the closed 415.xx drivers). And even after switching to intel igp (and physically removing my nvidia graphics card), loading up Gnome 3 / unity desktop instead of budgie, and physically disconnecting my 2nd 60hz TV. The original 'remove patch' + CLUTTER_FPS env var still was not changing anything. My xrandr output is claiming 120hz (for acer x34p monitor). However it's still mouse trails and not feeling 120hz.
However my other factor of uncertainty is having a very low powered gpu (GT 1030 pascal). However that should be enough? for just regular desktop. Without anything more taxing Basically I don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on a more powerful graphics card if it cannot properly drive at high refresh rates on linux for these other reasons. So these fixes are potentially very important to me in respect of that future hardware buying decision. So yes... am very much looking forward to trying out any new fixes being targeted for cosmic. To find out if they can help anything further. Thank you for these continued efforts towards solving this problem Daniel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763892 Title: 144Hz/120Hz monitor but mutter seems to cap rendering at 60FPS Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mutter source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Cosmic: In Progress Bug description: Monitor is set to 144hz, but on Wayland it visually fails to go above 60Hz.
