That was exactly what I was talking about. Tearing is pretty much non-existent in this new gen so far (at least on ps5 - but it's more present in XSX games), and when it's there, it's nowere as perceptible as the previous two gen. This is just hot air talk, not something serious. It's not better than the pc maniac who goes crazy seeing fraps (not even directly perceiving it) going two frames below. If one wants "perfection", then he has to buy a gaming pc with more than needed power, in order to easily comply even with the heaviest situations. On consoles, game engines are always pushed to max and there will always be situations that will bring the engine a bit beyond what it can handle. But if the developer chooses the right compromise, it is possible to have the highest possible detail with almost perfect frame stability. And especially in this new generation, the use of dynamic resolution has been a life saver. That alone brought basically almost perfect frame rate consistency. That allowed to push detail a little further. Obviously, that means the game is still playing around a edge, and some overburden sometimes occurs. But the accomodation is so good that you can really notice it only through some detector.
Clearly, the more the better, so, when VRR will be there, even those little hiccups will pass unnoticed (VRR doesn't add frames, is simply allows the screen to adjust the output to any frame rate, so that even if the frame rate drops, you will not see any stuttering (particularly visible when you turn camera around) in those moments. But, as said, using dynamic resolution has greatly reduced any of such episodes. But to say that VRR is somethin concretely relevant (in this gen), especially considering the little amount of VRR ready TVs out there now, is clearly a big overstatement. For WHO is important? How mant have the hardware to care? That's a minimum fraction, nobody else cares (or can care). And even for those few in possession of VRR ready TVs, frame rate/tearing problems are now very limited, in this gen.
