From the linked patch notes:

  • Reduced polling rate while the Steam Frame Limiter is active to save additional power. This can save up to 6% on battery life when running at 30fps in a low-power game like HL2

    Was it? afaik PAL was 50Hz but 25fps, and NTSC was 60Hz at 30fps. Two periods per frame because of interlacing or something like that.
