minus-squareDomi@lemmy.secnd.melinkfedilinkarrow-up4·7 months ago Can the monitor scale the rate down to consume less power or something? In theory, yes. However, I have never seen it used that way. The only widely used applications for VRR are games and video playback. Would be interesting to do some power measurements though. Is X downgrading my 75 Hz monitor to 60 silently? Yes, X does not support different refresh rates. Wayland does.
