Does my tv affect FPS stability on Xbox series s?

will it affect my FPS if the tv is an old one?

Hi,

Only if your TV is a newer HDMI 2.1 set with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support. VRR smooths out the frames when they drop below a certain fixed rate. Without VRR, a game that is 60fps but can't quite reach its target will create duplicate frames every time it drops below 60. This will have an on-screen look of a stutter or judder, plus a quite obvious screen tear. VRR all but eliminates this.

Games that are designed to support 120Hz (120 fps) massively benefit from VRR as many 120Hz games can't quite reach the full 120fps which again results in duplicate frames, stutter and screen tear.

Variable Refresh Rate only works on TV's with HDMI 2.1 support and PC monitors that include AMD 'FreeSync' technology.

Search engines really are wonderful inventions:

As to VRR, that is a console and TV thing....it's not like fps boost where it's programmed in. Generally, it will be available above about 40fps

Basically, the series S support up to 120 FPS; therefore, please make sure that the TV supports HDMI 2.1.

Hi,

FPS boost is enabled on the console and compatible game, not via the TV.

Only a set amount of Xbox games have FPS boost. Firstly, you need either a Series X or Series S. FPS boost is not available on the older Xbox One, One S or One X consoles.

Secondly, your game needs to be on this list. The link also has a YouTube video explaining the feature.

Thirdly, to achieve the highest 120Hz setting on selected games, you'll need a TV or monitor that supports that refresh rate.
