I keep hearing how disappointing not having VRR on the OLED steam deck is and how the ROG Ally is better because of it. Unfortunately most fail to realize VRR has a range of 48-XXX. Most games that are quoted as benefiting from VRR don’t even stay in the necessary range. I think to many don’t understand what the requirements for VRR really are.
VRR is a game changer for me now personally.
Got so tired of juggling settings to try and hit 40 fps or whatever and then capping the screen refresh and even then it isn’t perfect. If you drop a few frames it’s very jarring and if you set your fps a bit higher, say 42-43 fps and cap screen at 40 to make it more consistent, you’re wasting power.
With VRR I just play the game. Feels a bit slow? Turn down a few settings. Continue playing game. It’s fantastic. I won’t buy another handheld without it.
