ProMotion is not fully working out of the box in e.g. Safari, Chrome etc.

You got all that for saying it’s behaving the exact same way as the 60Hz Intel everywhere. 60Hz is only happening in certain areas while other apps work at the full 120Hz.
In essence you were trolling.
Ahh yeah I forgot to change it since I set this computer up as new instead of using a Time Machine backup. That sped it up a little bit. Still less than 10MB/s but oh well. Finally almost done downloading, ha.
I just installed the 12.1 beta and it seems like it kind of fixed it... Still seems like the scroll inertia part of it isn't smooth though. It feels similar to what Edge and Chrome feel like on 12.0.1.
Idk. I've spent way too much time looking at scrolling and not enough time enjoying the rest of the laptop. I should just go on in ignorance of issues.
Well f that’s a disappointment.I just installed the 12.1 beta and it seems like it kind of fixed it... Still seems like the scroll inertia part of it isn't smooth though. It feels similar to what Edge and Chrome feel like on 12.0.1.

Yeah definitely still not as smooth as the Apple News app.
But maybe I'm expecting too much. If you set the refresh rate to 60Hz and check them both out, Apple News is like 10x smoother feeling even at the lower frame rate.
Safari looks 10x better in Promotion vs set at 60Hz on 12.1 beta, I can tell you that. I forget if it was even different looking in 12.0.1 on promotion vs 60Hz.

I can still tell a difference despite this not being in slow motion. Scrolling is Safari feels much more fatiguing to my eyes.
That’s interesting I might jump on the beta to do some tests, I noticed right away it wasn’t butter smooth compared to other apps
Same. Not to mention how much smoother Safari is on my iPad Pro. Night and day difference.
So disappointing that was the most I was looking forward to with the promotion
Just did a screen capture and the difference is much more perceptible in real life. The capture does show the issue, especially when it is slowed down, but I feel it doesn't have the same impact.
