    It’s not redrawing the frame, it’s more related to aligning the monitors refresh rate to the frame rate of the content being displayed. Alignment means your monitor doesn’t refresh the screen when the frame is only partially rendered (aka screen tearing).

      Right, it doesn’t need to be multiples then, it could be the exact same refresh rate as the movie. Even those weird 25.xx refresh rates some are distributed in. Thanks for answering.

        Sure could be, but with most VRR displays the VRR range starts at around 48 Hz, so 24 FPS content would play at least at 48 Hz for example.

        The lowest multiple is likely what’s being used though (I’d have to check), so the numbers in my previous comment are probably off.
