    Can the monitor scale the rate down to consume less power or something?

    In theory, yes. However, I have never seen it used that way. The only widely used applications for VRR are games and video playback.

    Would be interesting to do some power measurements though.

    Is X downgrading my 75 Hz monitor to 60 silently?

    Yes, X does not support different refresh rates. Wayland does.
