60fps/hz is the baseline for a responsive interface or game, but.. Steam Deck has made a compelling case for 40fps/hz: "30hz = 33.33 ms/frame, and 60hz = 16.66ms/frame. Meanwhile, 40hz is 25 ms/frame. 40fps is exactly halfway between 30 fps and 60 fps in terms of update speed."

I definitely appreciate real time raytracing (RTX) but the performance impact is still so extreme.. here’s 4K spider-man on very high settings but raytracing off with the 3070… basically perfect 60fps.. https://t.co/lqzbjfRuVj
