I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways (www.pcgamer.com)

Smooth is smooth. There's nothing wrong with 30fps, so long as it STAYS at 30fps.

A sudden drop to 20 is a problem, as would be a 60fps dropping to 40.

But no drops? It's fine.

I think that's a really key point - back in the days of the PS2 to 360 era, it was all about Xx_Graphics_xX and there were so many 30fps games that dipped to 15 at times, making "30FPS" feel worse than it was.

That said, 30FPS can still be rough. IMO Dragons Dogma 2 running at 30 on the PS5 is pretty rough. Even excluding dips, but it has them. But the game Heroes Hour on the Steam Deck running at 30 is perfectly fine. Similarly, setting Red Dead 2 to get a consistent 30 is fine too.

Consistency is huge, for sure!
