JAKARTA - Microsoft has again brought an update for its latest operating system, Windows 11. Now the company is trying to bring a better user experience by saving device power consumption.

Quoted from Tom's Hardware, Wednesday, June 30, the update includes the latest generation Dynamic Refresh Rate feature. This feature can automatically adjust the screen refresh rate based on what the users are doing.

Previously, this feature was introduced in Windows 10. However, it was not developed by Microsoft and its users, because when the OS was launched, there were still few laptops that used screens with high refresh rates.

On the other hand, in recent years this feature has become popular on smartphones. The reason is, more and more smartphones already support high refresh rates, even in middle class smartphones.

Furthermore, the Dynamic Refresh Rate will make laptop users get more efficient battery usage. Because a high refresh rate drains the screen more. With the presence of the Dynamic Refresh Rate, Windows 11 will detect and automatically allocate the right refresh rate according to use. And locks the refresh rate at 6-Hz when 2D applications such as email, web browsers, and word processors are running.

But when users start scrolling web pages or playing games, the Dynamic Refresh Rate feature will show its more capabilities by setting the highest refresh rate on the laptop.

If you want to experience the Dynamic Refresh Rate feature, users need an adaptive refresh rate monitor, be it FreeSync or G-Sync, and have a screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz or more. Likewise with graphics cards that already support the WDDM 3.0 standard.
