The math is pretty simple: 50.0011Hz is 0.0011Hz too high. If you do the math, this results in 0.066 frame repeats per minute. Or one frame repeat every 15 minutes. If the clock deviation is pretty much zero, that's what it is. Try without Videoclock. It might actually result in less frame repeats. If the clock deviation is > 0% then it might counter the too-high refresh rate.

but yeah there is nothing u can do about so i leave it at this maybe amd "fix" this...
I don't know about why the clock stays at 400. But apart from that it's a well known problem that AMD GPUs are notoriously slow with Copyback. It's less of a problem with 7xxx generation GPUs and with integrated CPU/GPU, but with older dedicated GPUs it definitely is a problem.
