LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – JANUARY 08: People walk past the Google pavilion at CES 2020 at the Las Vegas Convention Center on January 8, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. CES, the world’s largest annual consumer technology trade show, runs through January 10 and features about 4,500 exhibitors showing off their latest products and services to more than 170,000 attendees.

Google Tests Chrome OS Variable Refresh Rate

As per a news story by The Verge, the new feature that Google is testing out on the Dev Channel of Chrome OS was first spotted by Kevin Tofel of About Chromebooks.

The all-new support for variable refresh rates is still hidden beneath the Chrome OS as a flag feature. So, its users in the Dev Channel have to look for it to enable the new Adaptive Sync setting.

The Verge notes in the same report that variable refresh rate or VRR makes the overall display smoother than ever by syncing both the refresh rate of the display of the device and the frames-per-second or the FPS of what is being shown.

It is worth noting that a smooth display brought upon by VRR could be best for a better gaming experience on the Chrome OS.

In fact, according to a recent report by 9to5Google, Windows is also using VRR to upgrade the gaming experience of its users. Not to mention that even the next-gen gaming consoles, including the Xbox Series X, also support the Adaptive Sync feature.

The new VRR support comes after the search engine tech giant confirmed that Steam on Chrome OS “soon.”
