Series S doesn't have a performance mode, I'm assuming you meant to say Series X.
These are DF's exact words:
Now of course it goes without saying you will only get this tangible benefit if you have a VRR display. But it's not like you get a 4K TV with every PS5 or Series X either. The Series consoles currently support VRR which lets them have advantages like this and in cases like Dying Light 2, literal doubling of frame rate over PS5.
What display a user has is an irrelevant argument here. The support for the feature is on a console hardware level.
It's a bit naive to outright dismiss the benefit VRR brings just because one of the next gen console brands still hasn't added support for it yet.
Nowhere am I dismissing it, I made that clear in my previous post. I'm questioning your paraphrasing where you call it a "non-issue" (which by the way is not what DF said). It can't be a "non-issue" when that experience won't be consistent for everyone.
Does VRR pretty much come as standard with new TV's these days?
No. And as of last year 4k adoption was still under 50% in the US. People playing on older kit likely won't care about any of this but they won't have any way around something like framerate drops.
