I suppose we’ll see it in testing. I imagine you think high refresh rate is only nice for games though? It’s certainly the main factor, but I enjoy high framerates for skimming text with smooth scrolling among other things.
Having the option for 120hz on the ROG Ally was a game changer. Especially combined with AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 which just released and variable refresh rate on the screen. It’s hard to go back to anything without them now.
I honestly can’t imagine too many games that can be driven past 60fps with this hardware besides 2d stuff. I’m sure there are a few but I imagine it mostly just burns battery for most people.
Again, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2. And when there are cases where your game cannot hit whatever threshold needed for 120fps, that’s where the variable refresh rate comes in.
You think fluid motion is just going to make games perform at 120 fps or near that? Especially without artifacting or fidelity? That’s highly optimistic.
Also I’m not sure why you keep on mentioning vrr, it has nothing to do with a 120 hrz screen wasting battery power chasing on paper metrics. Power is still allocated and not dynamic on this device.
Variable refresh rate is best on monitors that have high refresh rates because there’s a wider range of fps that it can adapt to. Even if you’re only at 80-100 fps, you’re benefiting from your refresh rate of your monitor being higher, particularly for frame times.
Also, I simply cannot imagine why you’re offended about refresh rate reaching 120hz. That’s purely a benefit. You can turn it down to save battery. There is literally zero downside.
Being honest, and I know this isn’t a laptop or some productivity device, but I personally very much dislike using any screen under 100Hz now, even for just simple desktop use. I think I get your point, that it would have made more practical sense to use a more economical display.
I just know I personally wouldn’t spring for something like this if it only had a 60Hz display, though.
Who the fuck wants a 120hrz screen on a portable 🤣
Me.
I guess if you want to shit your battery life away while having to struggle to hit 60fps more power to ya 🤷♂️
Struggle? Did you see the specs?
I did. I doubt many games will push past 90 much less 120 without significant fidelity loss.
