Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out. I think that the Chrome Graphics team would be interested in upstreaming this work. graphics-dev@ is the best targeted alias to reach these folks.

Hey Chromium team, pinging this thread to see if there is any interest in upstreaming this feature from Edge? From the Microsoft Windows side, we're very interested in getting more users enjoying smooth 120Hz interactions.

Thanks,

Since introduction of this feature, Edge has built support for Dynamic Refresh Rate under the flag "edge://flags/#edge-refresh-rate-boost-on-scroll." We would like Chromium to upstream this change from Edge so that users can get this smooth scrolling experience on their favorite flavors of Chromium browsers.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

What does the integration of Dynamic Refresh Rate look like? Does it mean that Chrome must tell Windows what the user is doing so that an appropriate refresh rate can be selected?

This looks mostly to be about temporarily *boosting* the frame rate while scrolling, so that you get both the long-term battery savings of reduced frame-rate *and* the smooth scrolling 120Hz rendering? Seems like something that we'd be interested in generally, yes.

+Mark Chang as PM of some related efforts who might be interested.

Cheers,

Chris
