As an avid user of the ROG Ally, I can 100% confirm that VRR is a game changer for handheld PCs. Most of the games I play rarely come close to the native 120fps of the panel, but instead run mostly @70~90fps. Without VRR, I would still need to lock the framerate to 60fps (90 would be too juddery), and would still get judder on those rare occasions when the framerate drops below 60.
The Lenovo Legion GO is stupid because of the lack of VRR, making its 144Hz panel a waste.
It’s a shame that the new Steam Deck does not support VRR. That would have made it the perfect handheld.
I still ordered one, and will share my impressions if anyone cares (which nobody will. That’s what The Phawx and RGC are for)
