            Bug ID: 460945
           Summary: Despite having the capability, monitor cannot be set
                    to a higher refresh rate than 98Hz
    Classification: I don't know

SUMMARY
When attemptng to configure KDE to use a higher refresh rate (such as 120Hz),
it results in no behavior. I confirmed that the graphics card (AMD Radeon Rx
590) in combination with the monitor (Gigabyte M32U) is capable at running
3840x2160 at 120Hz.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Display Configuration
2. Confirm that resolution is configured to max resolution: 3840x2160
3. Select 120Hz from the list of Refresh Rates

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing occurs. The newly selected refresh rate is still indicated but no
change in the display actually occurs. When exiting this particular module then
re-entering it, the Refresh Rate selected item is now reverted to the original
However, switching between lower refresh rates such as 98Hz to 60Hz (or vice
versa), results in expected behavior: the monitor would flicker then a Dialog
box appears giving the user the option to keep the new settings or revert to
the older settings. 

EXPECTED RESULT
I expected the display to reset at the new desired refresh rate. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 6.0.2-zen1-1-zen (* I tested this as well on a vanilla
unpatched kernel from versions 5.19 onwards)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Several items of note:
1. Attempts to change the refresh rate via `xrandr` does result in an error: 

```
$ xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --mode "3840x2160" --rate 120
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
```

I should also note that the monitor does reset. 

Here is the output of `xrandr --properties` in the relevant parts:

```
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x
axis y axis) 697mm x 392mm
