I found myself often setting the deck to 50 fps to save some performance but still get a very fluid picture.
Do you think running the deck at the highest frequency and halving that will be substantially better then anything from 46-50 or maybe even 46-60 at native frequency?

what about 60 fps at 90 hz? any benefits from this? is this then 1 and 1/2 (60 + 30)?
No, that would be horrible, you only want fps that are Hz/2 Hz/3 Hz/4 etc. So for 80Hz that would be 80, 40, 20, 15, 8
Jep. That was was I thinking too.
Not necessarily. Sometimes 45 FPS is still a bridge too far. You’ll still get the same benefit at 40 FPS: the screen will run at 80Hz with frame doubling. Even 30 FPS will feel better, because you now get frame tripling instead of just doubling. That means it will feel a little smoother and input lag will be less. Ironically, cranking back to 30 FPS to enjoy better battery life and performance may actually see a little more interest, if anything.
Is 45fps/90hz really smoother than just 45fps and 45hz ? Ice never heard about this triple or double with the Hz before this steam deck was released
Yes, because it’s still able to process input through the duplicate frames provided by 45fps at 90hz. At 45/45 there is a gap between refreshes where input cannot be processed.
I’ve heard this from many sources, but it’s not something that was really a thing before on steam deck of course. 60Hz and 30 fps at 60 is kind of a known standard
The OLED Steam Deck may have popularized discussion of it recently, but this is not some new thing. Well established.
Yep, this is how I’m running D4 now. Used to be a 40/40 guy on previous LED deck. 45 works amazingly, feels smooth as butter & the deck is whisper quiet!
