So I’ve been tweaking my Steamdeck settings and whilst I don’t consider myself a total noob to this…I’m legitimately not sure what the difference is between the two, or which is more important to the overall smoothness of the game I’m playing.

    The refreah rate is dependant on your display. On most monitors it is fixed to a certain frequency, in the past mostly 60 hz (hz means per one second), nowadays there is more diversity. That is how often there will be a refresh, meaning every pixel will change it state if there is a new image ready.

    Frame rate is how often your pc has a new picture for the display.
