Generally, the higher the refresh rate, the better the viewing experience.
However, this also has a disadvantage higher refresh rates use more power, causing battery drain issues.
What is Dynamic Refresh Rate?
Microsoft introduced a new feature to Windows 11 called Dynamic Refresh Rate.
This feature dynamically sets your devices refresh rate based on your actions.
But when gaming or using high-end programs like Photoshop, Windows 11 automatically switches to a 120Hz refresh rate.
In other words, it automatically switches the refresh rate to balance your PCs power consumption & performance.
Also, the laptop/monitor should support VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).
The Dynamic Refresh rate also requires a WDDM 3.0 graphics driver.
The graphics driver can be installed directly through the Windows 11 updates.
If you dont know your display driver specs, run theDirectX Diagnostic Tool.
First, hit the Windows 11 Start button and selectSettings.
On the options app, click theSystemoption on the left sidebar.
On the right pane, click theDisplaytab, as shown in the screenshot below.
Now scroll down and find the Related tweaks section.
Next, select theAdvanced Displayoption.
On the Advanced Display page, choose a refresh rate option and select theDynamicoption to unlock the DRR feature.
This will fire up the dynamic refresh rate on your compatible Windows 11 computer.
If you cannot find the Dynamic option, you have incompatible hardware.
To turn off the Dynamic Refresh rate, navigate toSettings > System > Display > Advanced Display.
On the Advanced display page, choose a regular refresh rate such as 60Hz or 120Hz.
Unable to Select Dynamic Refresh Rate?
As mentioned above, dynamic refresh rate will only work on laptops with a minimum 120Hz refresh rate.
If your monitor doesnt meet that requirement, you wont be able to find orchange the dynamic refresh rate.
To unlock the dynamic refresh rate, you could try installing theWDDM 3.0 graphics driver.
Dynamic Refresh Rate is mainly designed for laptops, as it helps to preserve battery life.
However, if you are experiencing display issues after enabling the feature, you must disable it.
