All those Fildelity modes are locked to 30FPS but there's still a lot of headroom left on the table, GoW running at 40-50FPS in unlocked FPS mode being the best example here, so unlocking that extra headroom doesn't sacrifice the visuals at all. 40FPS is a good compromise/workaround for lack of VRR, it may seem like just 10 extra frames, no biggie, but those 10FPS are in fact 33% more than what you'd get otherwise, and the difference is really quite significant:
The point I'm getting at is this. I don't think most FPS oriented gamers would settle for 40fps when a higher FPS mode is already available. On the other hand most fidelity oriented gamers are more than fine with the 30fps, provided that all available headroom is used for maximum fidelity. In the case of GoW maybe the better solution would have been to tweak the visuals to either reach 60fps (catering to the performance crowd) or use the headroom to improve graphical quality even further at 30fps (catering to the graphics crowd). 40fps is neither here or there in my view.
