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

      yes, in the short term. but improving a new console instead of the old one would be worse for us.

      so no.
