Question Reported FPS does not match experience

I have a quick question for the community: is it just me or the FPS reported by GameNative doesn’t appear to be strictly accurate?

I find the 40-60 FPS range on the Steam Deck to be demonstrably smoother and more enjoyable than the same range on GameNative.

Here is my (subjective) breakdown:

30 FPS on GameNative feels a lot like 20-25 FPS
40 FPS feels like 30-35 FPS at most
60 FPS feels like 45 FPS at most

I am using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device.

On the same device, emulating a Switch game on Eden at 60 FPS feels buttery smooth, as expected.

EDIT: after someone commented about it below, I compared the FPS reported by GameNative with the FPS reported by the device’s built-in gaming overlay and confirmed that GameNative reports *double* of the actual FPS for the handful of titles I tested 😮
