Question about manually setting refresh rate

RetroArch Android devices
#1

Hi,

So I’m trying to get optimal Vsync performance with no stuttering in Retroarch cores with my GPD XD (especially mGBA). I can get the refresh rate of my screen device by using this adb command :

$ adb shell dumpsys display | grep -i mphys | cut -d ‘,’ -f 2

Which return “60.269005 fps”

Do you think it is better to manually put “60.269” in the “Refresh rate” option of Retroarch (with Vsync enabled), or is it better to use Retroarch’s calibration tool ? What’s the most accurate ?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Many devices mis-report the refresh rate. You may as well try it at the reported rate but don’t be surprised if you have to go back and do it manually anyway.

Thanks for your answer. After doing some research I found out that the screen refreh rate for my device with latest firmware is 59.94hz, which is much closer to what Retroarch gives me. I’ll try with that setting.
