Watch on YouTube Alex Battaglia examines the new Steam Deck features in depth in this new video. In short, why spend the same amount of GPU power painting a pixel you'll barely notice versus those you will?
Apply that variable rate of shading to elements on-screen where you're unlikely to be able to tell the difference (eg darker areas) and you have a simple way to improve performance - and/or improve battery life for a device like Steam Deck. At a basic level, VRS reduces the internal resolution of objects, but keeps their silhouettes crisp. Let's tackle the disappointment first and that's the addition of variable rate shading. Addressing issues of loudness, battery life, gameplay fluidity and more, the overall takeaway is that Valve's makes the mobile experience better - but not every new feature is a hit. In turn, those features are the ability to change the display's refresh rate from anything between 40 to 60Hz, optional static variable rate shading (VRS) plus improved acoustics. Just over a couple of months since its initial launch, Valve's Steam Deck continues to evolve and its latest beta firmware features three key features that aim to significantly improve the gaming experience.
