Xbox Series X 1440p framerate

hinek11223 · Nov 7, 2020

Hello,

I'm Xbox one X user and I have 1440p 144hz monitor for production and future devices like Xbox Series X etc. On my Xbox one X I can pick such resolution and refresh rate, also I could see games with VRR in the shop before.

There are a lot of rumors about 4k 60hz, 4k 120hz, quality modes and performance modes, but not much about 1440p 120hz.

Soo my question is, if I would buy XSX and play with 1440p, would xbox for VRR games provide me 30-120fps? Or if game can handle 4k 60hz would I be able to play 1440p 120hz or is it all about game options thay developer provide like in case of Dirt 5?

In my opinion the graphic is much better on the one x in WZ2.0 and in Cold War. The Series s is faster and you get a higher framerate, but in 1440p it doesnt look as Good as the one x.

Hi,

High refresh rates on Xbox Series X/S and even on Xbox One S/X provide two functions.

On Series X/S where a game supports a 120 fps mode, a high 120Hz connection facilitates that frame rate. If your display can't do 120Hz, you can't play a 120 FPS supported game. But, there is a possibility that a game may not be able to hit its intended
frame rate all the time and may drop frames. This is where VRR (variable refresh rate) via FreeSync and 120Hz come in by smoothing out the dropped frames and eliminating screen tearing.

But you don't need to change refresh rate to play a game that is locked to 60 fps. You can still keep your refresh and it won't affect your gaming experience. As I stated earlier, you can only get a 120 FPS on games that support that frame rate. The high
refresh will just make the experience smoother. It's up to developers on how their games perform on the console just like the options available in Dirt 5.

While the Series X can do 4K 120Hz with newer HDMI 2.1 displays you won't see many AAA titles doing this as it's way too demanding for the system.

Hi,

The maximum supported resolution of Series S will be 1440P. Series X just like the Xbox One X before it will support 1440P too.

It will work on your monitor, don't worry.

because you can set the console to 1440p and 120hz.

but the S is very underpowered and is primarily a 1080p gaming machine, it has less power than the xbox one x and it is already showing that it is aging badly, lots of games running at subpar graphics and framerates.

most games don't even hit 120 fps.

series x even struggles to hit 120fps in some games.

All in all the Xbox Series S was made for those that are casual gamers, those that 1080p is ok, those that cannot afford the series x etc etc.

You will need the Xbox Series X for 4K 120hz. The Series S can only do 1440p 120hz
