Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is "working great" or "perfectly". I believe I'm in the minority, but I just can't enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it's because I'm used to playing mainly on PC. Still enjoy my Steam Deck a lot though, even if it can't keep up sometimes.

I was amazed to see how big of a difference 30 to 40 makes. It feels much closer to 60 to me. It looks "normal" to me as opposed to 60 that looks extra smooth and 30 that looks choppy.

that's because it's basically the half way point between 60 fps and 30fps in frame times.

60 fps is 16ms per frame
40 fps is 25ms per frame
30 fps is 33ms per frame
