Dynamic variable rate shading could make all the difference for the Steam Deck's battery life.

This is encouraging from the perspective that it looks as though Valve will continue to iterate on the design and feature set of the Deck and its OS.

Looking forward to see this in action and how much in terms of battery saving are possible.

Especially with FSR and all the things they are incorporating. it is gonna be huge

I´m fine with the actual battery life seen in the tech previews, so everything to enhance this will be great. If they pull it off this is amazing .. will be interesting (also because of FSR as you mentioned) to see when you connect the Deck to a monitor / TV .. this will be benefitial if you go to 1080p and need some more FPS in docked mode.

Indeed. Im not terribly worried about battery life because 90% of my use will be at home. It will be nice to have that extra juice when out and about though!

Same here. I will most likely use it at home on the couch And on business travel .. if this ever happens again

I'm very excited and encouraged reading about the battery life and thermal solutions that Valve are adding to the device.
