    Freesync and 120hz


    Hello i'am french i'am going to explain my problems, so sorry for my bad english..

    I have an xbox one S that is plugged into an alienware
    AW2518HF (240hz/freesync) screen by hdmi

    When i go to settings > display sound > video output > video fidelity and overscan if y chose on display "HDMI" after i can chose 60hz or 120hz

    BUUT in display & sound -> "Allow variable refresh rate" is grayed (freesync) ...???

    Now if i go to settings > display sound > video output > video fidelity and overscan and i chose "auto detect" i can't chose 120hz but i can enable "Allow
    variable refresh rate"

    in auto i can enable freesync but i can't chose 120hz

    in manual i can chose 120hz but freesync is grayed...

    If I plug my "Avermedia live portable gamer 2 plus" auto detection no longer allows me to activate the freesync because is grayed out..

    And if i chose 120hz I have no video since the live gamer 2 more portable beacause it allow only 1080@60. Is it possible to play in 120hz console and stream in 60hz ?

    :)

    120hz and AMD FreeSync (Variable Refresh Rate)

    Hello!! I come to get help because I can not activate the 120hz and AMD FreeSync at the same time ...

    I have a monitor Iiyama GB2560HSU, AMD FreeSync, 144hz, 1080p.

    - When I put the display on HDMI, I can switch to 120hz, but I can not activate AMD FreeSync (Variable refresh rate)

    - When I put the display on DVI, I can not switch to 120hz and I can not activate AMD FreeSync.

    - When I put the display on automatic, I can not switch to 120hz, but I can activate AMD FreeSync !!

    How does this do ?? I see that others have managed to activate the 2!

    Thank you for your answers!!

    Jeremy

    Gaming Monitor on XBox One X

    Probably could be because the refresh rate Hz, if its a gaming monitor should support more than 120Hz, the Xbox one X can handle 120Hz, chek the link i left here and you will find more info about it, if your monitor has Freesync this must solve the problem.
    I hope this can help

    If there is no change after the Soft Factory Reset I would recommend to
    request a callback     from one of our support specialists, They would be more than happy to assist with the current issue!

    Hello vJesus

    All these settings are on the monitor correct. I think It is due to the xbox console itself it isn't like a PC and can't be configured for higher. The Xbox console allows up to 120hz that is why you are running into this issue when changing settings on the
    monitor itself. Even on console 4k will only run at 60hz max.

    Depending who maker of the monitor one I found is Dell you can
    contact them     and see if they have any suggestions.

    hope this helps

    Thanks

    Will I be able to play on my Series X at 1080p 120fps VRR with this monitor?

    that monitor supports 120hz and freesync, you don't need hdmi 2.1 for 1080p and 120hz with freesync at all.

    you need hdmi 2.1 for 4k at 120hz with vrr.

    I have that screen and its fine for most gaming uses.

    that screen has console mode for 120hz, and works fine.

    1440 @120hz or 4K HDR @60hz

    if you are experiencing reduced framerates ingame which is common in fps games then freesync would be recommended I would utilise freesync with your 120hz connection as it will further level the playing field in instances of variable framerates.
    when i turn on freesync it automaticlly drops the hz down to 60, now way to have freesync on and 120hz

    Xbox one s 1440p 120hz problems

    Hi,

    This monitor only supports 100Hz over HDMI with FreeSync turned ON (higher via Display Port).

    With FreeSync OFF this monitor does support 1440p @ 120Hz as per the Manual and LG support.

    Source: https://www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors

    This makes means that with FreeSync ON you will be limited to 60Hz with xbox. Can you try turning off FreeSync via the Monitor and/or untick Variable Refresh Rate on the xbox. Hopefully this makes 120Hz available to you.
    I have tried turning freesync off on the monitor side and vrr off on the xbox, still doesn’t allow me to select 1440p@ 120hz.
