Hardware

Variable refresh rate (VRR) refers to technologies that enables dynamic refresh rates for monitors, where the refresh rate of the monitor is continuously synced to the output rate of the content being displayed. This prevents screen tearing in the supported range, while also lower power consumption as the monitor does not need to refresh at its highest supported rate while displaying content below that rate.

Technologies
