Warzone @120 hz 1440p on Xbox One X too?

Hi,

There is a lot of confusion about 120Hz.



On the Xbox One X and Series S, the 120Hz option with FreeSync was added to cut down on screen tearing and provide a better perceived performance on monitors than traditional 60Hz TVs.



This is still true on Series X/S, but those consoles are also able to render games at up to 120 fps which is where this feature can really stand out. But to utilise 120Hz to its fullest, you also need to have a FreeSync compatible display. This can be done
on a compatible monitor or via a newer HDMI 2.1 equipped TV.



On a standard 60Hz display, you get a new image (a frame) every 16.7ms (milliseconds). This means that if your game is targeting 60fps, but crucially, not hitting it, you have to wait an additional 16.7ms until the next frame appears. This makes a game that
is failing to perform appear like it’s stuttering.



On a 120Hz refresh the scene updates every 8.3ms. If a game has a frame ready, rather than wait 16.7ms, it does it in half the time. This does not make a 60 fps game appear to be running better. If a game is targeted at 60 fps and is not dropping frames,
it will feel the same on a 120Hz display as it does on a traditional 60Hz display.



But interestingly, because the display is refreshing at a faster rate, a dropped frame stutter is effectively cut in half. And believe me, a heck of a lot of games fail to hit their targeted frame rate and this is still true on the Series X as well. The
faster refresh, combined with VRR gives the impression of smoother performance when frames are dropped, even if the game itself isn’t actually rendering any faster.

The Xbox One X simply isn't powerful enough to output pretty much any game at 120Hz, the console will be sending out a 120Hz image, but that doesn't mean that the game will be running at 120Hz.

Its like setting your console to 1080p but displaying on a 4K TV, the TV still shows a 4K image, but that's because the image has been up-scaled to fill the 4K screen.

Hey SFL!

The Xbox One X is capped at 120Hz at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, but can do 4k UHD at 60 Hz. Unfortunately the Xbox cannot go higher than 120 Hz at the moment.

By any chance does your monitor have a setting to dial it down to 120 Hz?

I would also look over this article for display settings explanations: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/adjust-display-settings.

Let us know if that helps.

1440p 120 Hz but 4k 60hz if you really want 4k

Keep in mind games will drop your resolution if it's too high for their settings

You need series x and hdmi 2.1 for 4k 120hz

It's important to leave vvr on

By the way I might have made a mistake in my question. Obviously the full potential of the monitor is 1440p@144 hz but I am only looking for 1440p@120 hz
