I have a 60 Hz monitor, but Gnome 40 settings only allows 49.99 Hz (and 29.99 Hz). I'm running Wayland, obviously. Gnome monitor settings with the refresh rate dropdown open, showing options 49,99 Hz and 29,99 Hz Why is that? Gnome's animations don't feel smooth either, can that be related? It's quite a big monitor with 3440 × 1440 px², and in another older question https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/444055/how-to-force-60-hz-in-1366x768-despite-kernel-bug-after-kernel-4-13 it states that there's a kernel bug that limits refresh rate on high resolutions due to power savings with Xorg. Might this still be relevant and related? I'm on a Lenovo T470s with Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02).
