Shouldn't display adaptive sync work better for syncing to video framerate though? Trying to resample the video to display refresh rate instead sounds like a worse approach.

If VRR works well with your hardware then it is probably a better option. You can edit /usr/share/drirc.d/00-mesa-defaults.conf to enable VRR with MPV.

Yeah, I noticed that mpv already uses it in the KDE Wayland session somehow, disregarding Mesa settings.

Also, wasn't there some new VESA standard specifically for video (as an addition to regular adaptive sync)?

MediaSync? https://www.adaptivesync.org

Not sure what it's supposed to mean though.
