40fps? 45fps? 46fps input by mistake? We discussed the new arbitrary refresh rate support for Steam Deck in the next DF Direct Weekly and we needed some b-roll to show what all the fuss is about. Here's a short edit of that material. Enjoy!

Rich tell me if they plan to add 30Hz mode as well please.... The battery savings (and performance obviously) are looking too good here!

There's screen Flickering (best seen in bright scenes) at 40hz, getting less obvious the higher you get. I can't spot it anymore at 50hz and above. Haven't you noticed this?

no mention of the half-rate shading setting? Im curious if that is for all geometry, just at the borders, on oblique angles to the camera, or…? 48fps with half-rate shaders, I’m wondering how that affects SVOGI, FSR, and other cross-frame rendering optimizations.

I tried to get actual capture of it, but the option didn't work at all for me. Alex says it works for him so hopefully we will get some #content done on this.

At 45Hz I start to not notice the flickering
