I was exploring the fps and refresh rate slider and I realized that when setting the framerate limiter to 25, the refresh rate was incorrectly set to 50Hz on the OLED version, when the 75 Hz setting would be a more appropriate setting, for the same reason 30 fps is at 90 Hz and not 60 Hz. Anyone else seeing the same behavior? Is there an explanation I’m missing here?

    What difference does it make updating the screen 75 times per second if you’re only getting 25 different images per second? The OLED screen (iirc) doesn’t visually change during every screen refresh (if the displayed frame is the same). Limiting to 25/50/75hz would have zero visual difference at 25fps, but would draw more power at higher refresh rates.

      If the screen updates 75 times the game doesn’t have to wait so long between vblanks so new frames are delivered quicker and input latency is reduced
