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.
You do know that the Ally has LFC meaning frame rates below 48fps are then doubled in refresh rate window so that VRR is not dropped. This is a pretty standard feature with VRR displays so yes the Ally still does benefit from VRR below 48fps
Also VRR range will vary from device to device. For instance the Xbox Series S|X have VRR down to 40fps and the PS5 has VRR down to 48fps. Many monitors can vary and some have LFC to compensate for lower frame rates outside of the usual VRR range.
