Freesync + vrr makes xbox controller have no input! XBOX FIX THIS!

KyotoEU · Jul 1, 2022

I recently started using FreeSync with vrr, and since then my controller keeps losing input while the controller is still on. It gets pretty annoying since I play ranked on cod nd apex.. Theres a solution but it doesn't help since I only have two options to fix it, 1. remove 120hz or 2. remove vrr.

Yeah, actually VRR can cause inputs lags it's one of the disadvantages of it.
I heard that usually using wired controller connection can help to reduce it a bit

I think would be better disable VRR instead

Yes the monitor is freesync premium and I tried getting vrr by turning freesync off and on then restart my Xbox

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.

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.

Yes you should, and make sure VRR is enabled in the Xbox display settings.

Freesync Premium is a VRR technology (variable refresh rate). In a nutshell, your displays refresh rate is synced to the frame rate of the game you are playing. This means smoother gameplay and no unsightly screen tearing.
